Download or read book Trending of Low Level Events and Near Misses to Enhance Safety Performance in Nuclear Power Plants IAEA TECDOC Series written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of important and significant events in nuclear power plants (NPPs) is decreasing, and current world industry indicators demonstrate that this has become true throughout the nuclear industry. This is important for the survival and acceptance of the nuclear industry; however, these indicators could hide the existence of a multitude of events which are of lower significance and even near misses (a term from the aviation industry to denote 'almost accidents') that have not been captured by the existing detection methods and thresholds. The main objective of this publication is to provid.

Download or read book Operating Experience Feedback for Nuclear Installations written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A robust operating experience programme prevents or minimizes the risk of future events by learning from events that have already occurred. This Safety Guide provides recommendations for establishing, implementing, assessing and continuously improving an operating experience programme for nuclear installations. The publication is primarily aimed at operating organizations and regulatory bodies responsible for nuclear installation and describes their roles and responsibilities in the overall operating experience programme. However, this publication is also of relevance to other organizations involved in the design, construction, commissioning, operation and decommissioning of nuclear installations, including technical support organizations, vendor companies, research establishments and universities.
Download or read book IAEA Safety Glossary written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IAEA Safety Glossary defines and explains technical terms used in the IAEA Safety Standards and other safety related IAEA publications, and provides information on their usage. The 2018 Edition of the IAEA Safety Glossary is a new edition of the IAEA Safety Glossary, originally issued in 2007. It has been revised and updated to take into account new terminology and usage in safety standards issued between 2007 and 2018.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the increasing interest in the near term deployment of new nuclear power plants, IAEA Member States have requested guidance on the process of evaluating and selecting available technology options. Reactor technology assessment enables the evaluation, selection, and deployment of the best technology to meet the objectives of a nuclear power programme. This publication demonstrates how reactor technology assessment is performed and how the process and results of this work enable decision making in nuclear power planning. The approach also provides decision makers with the documentation necessary to support their conclusions.

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.
