Download or read book Containment Performance of Prototypical Reactor Containments Subjected to Severe Accident Conditions written by E. W. Klamerus and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses containment design practices and compares the 2 different material types (steel and concrete). Various failure modes are evaluated and computed in previous containment designs. Margin in steel and concrete containment was compared by designing and analyzing a set of surrogate containment. The containment chosen encompass the primary types of containment shapes and construction materials. For compatibility, each containment has an identical internal volume and design pressure and temperature. These containments are designed according to all applicable code requirements for nuclear reactor containment structures.

Download or read book Infrastructure Systems for Nuclear Energy written by Thomas T. C. Hsu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing sufficient energy resources to replace coal, oil and gas is a globally critical necessity. Alternatives to fossil fuels such as wind, solar, or geothermal energies are desirable, but the usable quantities are limited and each has inherent deterrents. The only virtually unlimited energy source is nuclear energy, where safety of infrastructure systems is the paramount concern. Infrastructure Systems for Nuclear Energy addresses the analysis and design of infrastructures associated with nuclear energy. It provides an overview of the current and future nuclear power industry and the infrastructure systems from the perspectives of regulators, operators, practicing engineers and research academics. This book also provides details on investigations of containment structures, nuclear waste storage facilities and the applications of commercial/academic computer software. Specific environments that challenge the behavior of nuclear power plants infrastructure systems such as earthquake, blast, high temperature, irradiation effects, soil-structure interaction effect, etc., are also discussed. Key features: Includes contributions from global experts representing academia and industry Provides an overview of the nuclear power industry and nuclear infrastructure systems Presents the state-of-the-art as well as the future direction for nuclear civil infrastructure systems Infrastructure Systems for Nuclear Energy is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference for researchers and practitioners working in this field and for graduate studies in civil and mechanical engineering.

Download or read book The Future of Nuclear Power written by John N Lillington and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-10-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last century, nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialised countries. It has recently enjoyed a revival in attention and research due to the environmental concerns surrounding current conventional energy sources. Issues of regulation and safety are at the forefront of all discussions involving nuclear power, and will govern its place in the future. The Future of Nuclear Power takes a technical and comprehensive look at the current and future status of nuclear power throughout the world. The 17 chapters are divided into two main sections: a review of all current generation plants, and concepts for new advanced reactor design and safety. The broad-ranging topics covered by this publication, coupled with the current revival of interest in nuclear energy, make it a timely reference for all nuclear scientists. - Reviews the issues surrounding the future operation of existing commercial nuclear plants - Several chapters dedicated to the extensive research programs in place concerning safe and reliable operation - Compares nuclear and non-nuclear options for energy needs in the future; evaluating the benefits and risks of both

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction. Because of the diverse possible uses of the manual and the varied backgrounds of the readers, it includes the reasoning behind the technical instructions. The field of concrete construction has expanded dramatically over the years to reflect the many advances that have taken place in the concrete industry. Although many of the fundamentals presented in previous editions of this manual remain relevant and technically correct, this eleventh edition incorporates new material to address these advances in technology
