Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a nuclear reactor, most of the nuclear fission energy appears as heat, which is generally utilized to produce steam for the generation of electricity. The final step is similar to that used in fossil-fueled power plant. Coming to the basics of nuclear energy, the mass of a nucleus is always less than the mass of the constituent nucleons. The difference is known as mass defect. The energy equivalent of the mass defect is called the binding energy of the nucleus. This is the energy required to break apart the nucleus into its constituent nucleons. The theory of relativity explains the relation between the mass defect and the binding energy as E = m х 931.3 where E is in MeV and m is the mass in atomic mass units. The binding energy per nucleon is relatively low for nuclei of small mass number but increases, with increasing mass number to a broad maximum at about 8 MeV in the mass region of roughly 50 to 75; subsequently the binding energy per nucleon decreases steadily. The nucleus of lower binding energy per nucleon is less stable and is converted into others of higher binding energy, i.e., more stable accompanied by a release of energy. Hence, the energy can be obtained by combination (or fusion) of the light nuclei or by splitting (or fission) of heavy nuclei.

Book A PRA Case Study of Extended Long Term Decay Heat Removal for Shutdown Risk Assessment

Download or read book A PRA Case Study of Extended Long Term Decay Heat Removal for Shutdown Risk Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) of the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II), a Department of Energy (DOE) Category A research reactor, has recently been completed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The results of this PRA have shown that the decay heat removal system for EBR-II is extremely robust and reliable. In addition, the methodology used demonstrates how the actions of other systems not normally used for actions of other systems not normally used for decay heat removal can be used to expand the mission time of the decay heat removal system and further increase its reliability. The methodology may also be extended to account for the impact of non-safety systems in enhancing the reliability of other dedicated safety systems.

Book Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety of U S Nuclear Plants

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.
