New Generation Nuclear Power Plants
− The radioactivity measurement techniques being developed within the EMRP “MetroFission” Joint Research Project (JRP) [1], are aimed at performing on-site activity measurements, by the development of a portable Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio (TDCR) system along with associated digital electronics. The TDCR standardisation method for beta-emitting radionuclides (e.g. H and Pu) produces an e...
متن کاملDetecting Cyber Attacks On Nuclear Power Plants
This paper proposes an unconventional anomaly detection approach that provides digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in a nuclear power plant (NPP) with the capability to probabilistically discern between legitimate protocol frames and attack frames. The stochastic activity network (SAN) formalism is used to model the fusion of protocol activity in each digital I&C system and the op...
متن کاملCancer mortality around U.S. nuclear power plants
Introduction: There is concern about cancer risk from living near nuclear power plants (NPP). Different studies yield different results and this study seeks to add to the body of knowledge on the topic. Methods: Using an ecological design, pair-wise comparisons were made for cancer death rates (CDR) in three county classifications for U.S. NPPs: counties where a NPP was located, counties that b...
متن کاملSeismic Isolation of Nuclear Power Plants
The paper presents the world state-of-the-art of the Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) provided with seismic isolation and focuses on the main problems related to the application of this technology to so peculiar structures, characterized by high masses, large sizes and severe safety requirements due to the possibility of relevant accidents with release of radioactivity and other extremely dangerous ...
متن کاملHuman-machine Interaction in Nuclear Power Plants
Recently, the use of computers has rapidly expanded in every field of human endeavor. From the viewpoint of research on human-machine systems, we see that computers do many tasks automatically at the human-machine interface. Because computers themselves are machines, modern machine systems have a double structure of machines within machines; that is, the original machines built-in computers. Th...
