Download or read book Vapor Cycle Coolant Requirements for Nuclear Space Power Plants written by Marion J. Janicke and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid metals are especially suited for reactors with high thermal fluxes and high operating temperatures, because of their high thermal conductivities, low vapor pressures, and relatively high volumetric heat capacities. They are stable at high temperatures and in intense radiation fields. Mercury, rubidium, potassium, and sodium are coolants that vaporize at a temperature within the present state-of-the-art metallurgical limits.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a revision and combinaton of two previous Safety Guides: Safety Series No. 50-SG-D6. Ultimate Heat Sink and Directly Associated Heat Transport Systems for Nuclear Power Plants (1981). and Safety Series No. 50-SG-D13, Reactor Coolant and Associated Systems in Nuclear Power Plants (1986), which are superseded by this new Safety Guide. The revision takes account of developments in the design of the reactor coolant and associated systems in nuclear power plants since the earlier. Safety Guides were published in 1981 and 1986, respectively. The other objectives of the revision are to ensure consistency with the Requirements for Design, issued in 2000, and to update the technical content. In addition, an appendix on pressurized heavy water reactors has been included.

This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Safety Guide provides recommendations on how to meet the requirements established in IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-2/1 (Rev. 1) in relation to the reactor coolant system and associated systems for nuclear power plants. It is a revision of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. NS-G-1.9, which it supersedes. The publication takes into account developments, experience and practices in the design of nuclear power plants throughout their lifetime. It references and considers other IAEA safety standards that are relevant and related to the design of the reactor coolant system and associated systems for nuclear power plants. Recommendations to achieve the required reliability of the capabilities designed to transfer residual heat to the ultimate heat sink in the different plant states are also included. As those systems are dependent on specific reactor technologies, more appropriate recommendations have been developed respectively for pressurized light water reactors, boiling water reactors and pressurized heavy water reactors.

Download or read book Nuclear Reactor Cooling Systems written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear reactor cooling systems are the backbone of nuclear power plants, playing a critical role in managing the immense heat generated by nuclear fission reactions and ensuring the safe operation of these facilities. These intricate systems are designed to effectively remove heat from the reactor core, transfer it to a secondary loop, and ultimately convert it into electricity. This book delves into the intricacies of nuclear reactor cooling systems, providing a comprehensive overview of their design, operation, and safety considerations. It explores the fundamental principles of heat transfer, the selection of suitable coolants, and the intricate flow patterns within the reactor core. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the different types of cooling systems, including pressurized water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs), and gas-cooled reactors (GCRs). They will also gain insights into the advanced cooling concepts being explored for future nuclear power plants. Alongside these technical aspects, the book highlights the critical importance of safety in nuclear reactor cooling systems. Emergency cooling systems are meticulously designed to prevent and mitigate potential accidents, ensuring the protection of public health and the environment. This book is intended for a broad audience, including engineering students, professionals working in the nuclear industry, and those seeking a deeper understanding of nuclear power generation. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the intricate workings of nuclear reactor cooling systems and their role in harnessing nuclear energy responsibly.

Download or read book Thermal and Reliability Criteria for Nuclear Fuel Safety written by Maksym Maksymov and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers basic approaches to the nuclear fuel state of energy reactors in the last stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, these have been developed by the authors based on Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) operational experience. The book starts by looking at the physical safety basis of water-water energetic reactor (WWER) nuclear fuel. It goes on to discuss modern approaches to the heat exchange modelling in nuclear power plant equipment. Next, the safety criteria when making a decision about dry storage for WWER-1000 fuel assembly are discussed. Then the effect of reactor capacity cyclic changes on energy accumulation of creep formations in fuel cladding is covered in full, along with a chapter on the analysis of WWER-1000 fuel cladding failure. Finally, the book finishes with a description of thermal safety criteria for dry storage of spent nuclear fuel. The book is essential reading for anyone concerned with NPP maintenance and safety.
