Safety Principles for Pressurised Water Reactors in the French Nuclear Power Plant Fleet
The goal of this chapter is not to provide an exhaustive explanation of nuclear safety principles and practices at facilities in France (for a discussion on this topic, see the work of J. Libmann [1]), but to illustrate the two complementary safety approaches, deterministic and probabilistic, by introducing a key concept of the first, defence-in-depth, and a general description of probabilistic...
متن کاملNuclear Power Reactors in the United States
The sudden surge toward nuclear power throughout the world has given rise to some serious questions about its potential effect on many facets of our complex civilization. The social, economic, military, and geopolitical implications are staggering and far beyond the comprehension of most of us. Of immediate and practical concern to all, however, is the impact of nuclear power on our local envir...
متن کاملNuclear Weapons and Nuclear Reactors
This report addresses the tenuous link between nuclear power reactor development and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, particularly with respect to possible terrorist exploitation. Arguments are presented that contradict the popular image of nuclear weaponry as a "basement project". 4 CONTENTS
متن کاملSafety of Nuclear Reactors
Nuclear reactors have, during the first twenty years of their existence, achieved an impressive safety record, possibly exceeding that of any comparable industry. As revealed in apaper byHenriB. Smets of the European Nuclear Energy Agency, there have been recorded during this period of time but six fatalities and less than 30 persons seriously irradiated from reactor accidents. Three of the fat...
متن کاملrobust optimal gain scheduling controller for nuclear reactors
nuclear power reactors are, in nature nonlinear and time varying. these characteristics must be considered, if large power variations occur in their working regime. in this paper a robust optimal gain scheduling controller for regulating the power of a nuclear reactor has been designed and simulated. the proposed controller is capable of regulating power levels in a wide power range (10% to 100...
