Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation The role of aging and risk management in safe operation and life extension of nuclear power plants and petrochemical plants is explored in these papers from an August 2002 conference. Structural, mechanical, heat transfer, thermal, hydraulic, fatigue, fracture, and creep problems are addressed. Papers topics include generic aging management programs for license renewal of PWR reactor coolant system components, high-cycle analytical thermal fatigue test of pipe structures, managing aging of coatings for nuclear plant license renewal, and signal processing for lifetime management. Subjects examined in the category of reliability and safety include a logic model approach to conceptual design of scientific/industrial complexes, and risk-based maintenance. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Download or read book Debris Impact on Emergency Coolant Recirculation written by and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under normal operation, nuclear reactor fuel is cooled by water circulating in the primary circuit. In the case of an accident, the reactor is stopped automatically, and residual fuel heat must be evacuated, typically by use of a safety injection system and a reactor containment spray system. This publication contains the proceedings of a workshop, held in New Mexico, United States in February 2004, to discuss recent research and developments to deal with the impact of debris (such as insulating material, concrete particles or paint) on emergency coolant recirculation systems.

Download or read book Passive Safety Systems and Natural Circulation in Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s there has been much discussion of the advantages of passive safety systems in advanced nuclear power plants (NPPs). It has been recognized that the application of passive safety systems can contribute to simplification and potentially improve economics of new NPP designs. However, this implies careful design and analysis methods to assure that these systems perform their intended functions. This publication draws on the studies of an IAEA coordinated research project on the topic and reports the findings of the latest research activities. It describes passive safety systems in a wide range of advanced water-cooled nuclear power plant designs, defines the thermal hydraulic phenomena associated with natural circulation phenomena and cross-links these phenomena with the passive safety systems.

Download or read book Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety of U S Nuclear Plants written by National Research Council (U.S.). Committee on Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety and Security of U.S. Nuclear Plants and published by National Academy Press. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami sparked a humanitarian disaster in northeastern Japan. They were responsible for more than 15,900 deaths and 2,600 missing persons as well as physical infrastructure damages exceeding $200 billion. The earthquake and tsunami also initiated a severe nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Three of the six reactors at the plant sustained severe core damage and released hydrogen and radioactive materials. Explosion of the released hydrogen damaged three reactor buildings and impeded onsite emergency response efforts. The accident prompted widespread evacuations of local populations, large economic losses, and the eventual shutdown of all nuclear power plants in Japan. "Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety and Security of U.S. Nuclear Plants" is a study of the Fukushima Daiichi accident. This report examines the causes of the crisis, the performance of safety systems at the plant, and the responses of its operators following the earthquake and tsunami. The report then considers the lessons that can be learned and their implications for U.S. safety and storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste, commercial nuclear reactor safety and security regulations, and design improvements. "Lessons Learned" makes recommendations to improve plant systems, resources, and operator training to enable effective ad hoc responses to severe accidents. This report's recommendations to incorporate modern risk concepts into safety regulations and improve the nuclear safety culture will help the industry prepare for events that could challenge the design of plant structures and lead to a loss of critical safety functions. In providing a broad-scope, high-level examination of the accident, "Lessons Learned" is meant to complement earlier evaluations by industry and regulators. This in-depth review will be an essential resource for the nuclear power industry, policy makers, and anyone interested in the state of U.S. preparedness and response in the face of crisis situations.
