Download or read book The Risks of Nuclear Energy Technology written by Günter Kessler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyses the risks of nuclear power stations. The security concept of reactors is explained. Measures against the spread of radioactivity after a severe accident, accidents of core melting and a possible crash of an air plane on reactor containment are discussed. The book covers three scientific subjects of the safety concepts of Light Water Reactors: – A first part describes the basic safety design concepts of operating German Pressurized Water Reactors and Boiling Water Reactors including accident management measures introduced after the reactor accidents of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. These safety concepts are also compared with the experiences of the Fukushima accidents. In addition, the safety design concepts of the future modern European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR) and of the future modern Boiling Water Reactor SWR-1000 (KERENA) are presented. These are based on new safety research results of the past decades. – In a second, part the possible crash of military or heavy commercial air planes on reactor containment is analyzed. It is shown that reactor containments can be designed to resist to such an airplane crash. – In a third part, an online decision system is presented. It allows to analyze the distribution of radioactivity in the atmosphere and to the environment after a severe reactor accident. It provides data for decisions to be taken by authorities for the minimization of radiobiological effects to the population. This book appeals to readers who have an interest in save living conditions and some understanding for physics or engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe Accidents in Nuclear Reactors: Corium Retention Technologies and Insights presents an authoritative and practical analysis of the latest severe accident management strategies based on previous events and experiments. Written for utilities and industries operating and researching nuclear cooled reactor power plants, this book presents the exponential growth in research since major nuclear accidents and acts as a guide to retaining molten corium, both inside and outside the reactor vessel. Sections cover the physics behind several complex phenomena occurring during corium coolability, providing the reader with an in-depth understanding by presenting the insights obtained from simulated severe accidents. In addition, the book validates several severe accident codes and provides evidence on the termination of severe accident progressions to help the reader evaluate the safety of existing reactors and design the next generation of nuclear reactors. Provides a step-by-step guide to various severe accident management experiments Includes evidence on the termination of severe accident progressions Validates several severe accident codes

Download or read book An Exploratory Analysis of Thermal hydraulic Conditions Leading to Severe Accidents for the New Production Heavy Water Reactor written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, sponsored by the New Production Reactor (NPR) Program through the Los Alamos NPR Safety Project Office, is part of the body of severe-accident review information being developed to support the safety review of the New Production Heavy-Water Reactor (NP-HWR). The NP-HWR safety study of severe beyond-design-basis events concerns two issues related to in-vessel, sudden-energy sources: wet-core recriticality and molten-fuel-and-coolant interaction (MFCI). The configuration that will lead to recriticality and MFCI is determined by the mode and coherency of the fuel-target disruption and water contact during the accident progression. The mode and coherency are, in turn, governed by the thermal-hydraulic conditions in the assembly channel and the fuel heatup rate after the assembly channels have dried out. The results of the analysis, presented for the transients out to the time of incipient fuel melt, describe the dominant features of the transients for the two severe events. The conclusions summarize what we have learned about the controlling mechanisms and important parameters for the conditions leading up to fuel melt, identify important safety review information that may be relevant to the final design, and suggest actions needed to conduct an adequate safety review of relevant aspects of the NP-HWR.
