Download or read book Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology written by Jeffery Lewins and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present review volume not only covers a wide range of topics pertinent to nuclear science and technology, but has attracted a distinguished international authorship, for which the editors are grateful. The opening review by Drs. Janet Tawn and Richard Wakeford addresses the difficult matter of questioning sci- tific hypotheses in a court of law. The United Kingdom experienced a substantial nuclear accident in the 1950s in the form of the Windscale Pile fire. This in itself had both good and bad consequences; the setting up of a licensing authority to ensure nuclear safety was one, the understandable public sentiment concerning nuclear power (despite the fire occurring in a weapons pile) the other. Windscale today is subsumed in the reprocessing plant at Sellafield operated by British Nuclear Fuels plc and it was inevitable perhaps that when an excess cluster of childhood leukaemia was observed in the nearby village of Seascale that public concern should be promoted by the media, leading to the hearing of a claim of compensation brought on behalf of two of the families of BNFLs workers who had suffered that loss. The review article demonstrates the complexity of und- standing such a claim against the statistical fluctuations inherent and shows how the courts were persuaded of the need to propose a biological mechanism if responsibility were to be held. The Company were undoubtedly relieved by the finding.

Download or read book Advances in Safety and Reliability written by C. Guedes Soares and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-06-19 with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three volumes comprise the papers presented at the ESREL '97 International Conference on Safety and Reliability held in Lisbon, Portugal, 17-20 June 1997. The purpose of the annual ESREL conferences is to provide a forum for the presentation of technical and scientific papers covering both methods and applications of safety and reliability to a wide range of industrial sectors and technical disciplines and, in so doing, to enhance cross-fertilization between them.A broad view is taken of safety and reliability which includes probabilistically-based methods, or, more generally, methods that deal with the quantification of the uncertainty in the knowledge of the real world and with decision-making under this uncertainty.The areas covered include: design and product liability; availability, reliability and maintainability; assessment and management of risks to technical systems; health and the environment; and mathematical methods of reliability and statistical analysis of data.The organization of the book closely follows the sessions of the conference with each of the three volumes containing papers from two parallel sessions, comprising a total of 270 papers by authors from 35 countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially developed as a tool for training lead auditors of nuclear quality systems, the Nuclear Auditing Handbook has also been used as a reference by quality managers who plan quality system audits. It provides detailed material in such aspects as the development, administration, planning, preparation, performance, and reporting of quality system audits in energy-related fields. ASQ's Nuclear Committee of the Energy and Environment Division gathered a team of highly seasoned experts in the nuclear auditing field to expand this new edition's content and bring it current to modern-day best practices and standards. This book introduces updated information about requirements and standards, including the 2019 editions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1 Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications and ASME BPVC Sections I; IV; and VIII, Divisions 1 and 2. The authors and editors have also added helpful tools to aid nuclear auditors, including case studies suitable for training auditors, blank forms for convenient use, and samples of completed forms.
Download or read book Periodic Safety Review of Operational Nuclear Power Plants written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide supplements Safety Series No. 110: The Safety of Nuclear Installations, a safety fundamentals publication, and Safety Series No. 50-C-O (Rev. 1): Code on the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Operation. It primarily provides guidance on the conduct of a periodic safety review (PSR) of an operational nuclear power plant. A PSR is designed to take a comprehensive account of improvements in safety standards and operating practices, cumulative effects of plant ageing, modifications and feedback of operating experience, and developments in science and technology that have occurred over a ten year period. PSRs provide the means for determining necessary or worthwhile changes aimed at maintaining high levels of plant safety and harmonizing the safety of older plants with that of modern plants.
