A Reusable Distributed Environment for Nuclear Power Plant Simulators

The development of simulation environments for Nuclear Power Plants is a long process where many components are only used in their original projects due to the special characteristics of each Power Plant. This paper presents an environment formed by a simulation kernel with a set of tools aiming at the building of reusable components. The simulators are being used for the training of future ope...

The Nuclear Power Plant Environment Monitoring System through Mobile Units

This article describes the information system for measuring and evaluating the dose rate in the environment of nuclear power plants Mochovce and Bohunice in Slovakia. The article presents the results achieved in the implementation of the EU project – Research of monitoring and evaluation of nonstandard conditions in the area of nuclear power plants. The objectives included improving the system ...

Nuclear Power

Nuclear power has never been free from the stifling involvement of government. Heavy regulation has reduced the ability of entrepreneurs to develop and provide new means for the generation of energy using nuclear fuel. The strict parameters dictated by government officials are based upon outdated technology, an improper regulatory philosophy, and preclude innovation in nuclear power generation....

Nuclear power Nuclear power in the Soviet Union

Even though the Soviet Union is a large industrial state which bases its economic development on its own mineral fuel resources, it cannot afford to neglect the development of nuclear power, because about 80% of its energy resources are concentrated in eastern regions of the country, while 75% of the population and consumers of power are concentrated in the European part of the USSR. The transp...
