Emerging Issues and Needs in Power Plant Cooling Systems
The majority of the electricity generated in the United States is produced by steamdriven turbine-generators. A very important step in this power generation process is the condensation of exhaust steam from the final, low-pressure turbine. When the steam condenses, the rapid decrease in vapor-to-liquid specific volumes creates a vacuum at the turbine outlet (monitored as turbine backpressure) t...
متن کاملTo Enhance Fire Safety of Nuclear Power Plant by Improving Fire Alarm System
Fire safety is an important component of the safe operation of nuclear power plant, and is an important aspect of the nuclear safety. The Distributed Intelligent Fire Detect and Alarm System is of high reliability and sensitivity. In this article, some research will be made on how to limit fire damage by improving the system reliability and sensitivity. Fire safety is an important component of ...
متن کاملNuclear Power Plant Safety
In the last decade nuclear reactors have proven to be a source of electrical energy economically competitive with conventional means of power production. With the resulting increase in orders for nuclear power stations there has been a corresponding increase in public awareness of the safety and environmental aspects of these facilities. This public awareness has been evidenced by the number of...
متن کاملFukushima nuclear power plant area
High-resolution tomographic images of the crust and upper mantle in and around the area of the 2011 Iwaki earthquake (M 7.0) and the Fukushima nuclear power plant are determined by inverting a large number of high-quality arrival times with both the finite-frequency and ray tomography methods. The Iwaki earthquake and its aftershocks mainly occurred in a boundary zone with strong variations in ...
متن کاملNuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control
Installed throughout a nuclear power plant, instrumentation and control (I&C) is an essential element in the normal, abnormal and emergency operation of nuclear power plants (International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA], n.d.). Through their equipment, modules, sensors, and transmitters, I&C systems measure thousands of variables and processes the data to activate pumps, valves, motors, and other ...
