چکیده

This work attempts a compilation on the performance and evolution indicators for today's (2020) operating nuclear power reactors. Data were obtained from IAEA's Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) Database, transferred to spreadsheets, post-processed, plotted in cognitive graphs interpreted appropriately. The aim was identify past, present possibly future trends related usage of electricity production. examined time span covers mainly currently reactors, which have been grid connected since '70s. Several operational periods could be identified, each one with its own properties characteristics: (a) pre Three-Mile-Island, (b) post (c) Chernobyl, (d) Fukushima and, (e) New Build. These are loosely reactor generations as released installed, i.e. Gen-II, Gen-III Gen-III+. Although discussed early late '90s, Gen-IV reactors not yet developed. Build period involves Gen-III+ types, proposed Small Modular Reactors (SMR) recently, Mini (MMR). Overall, these point out that: (i) there is no negative trend number active (ii) annual produced by sources steadily increasing, (iii) getting better, (iv) despite their negligible number, accidents main factors, prohibited expansion production, (v) all such followed conservative most (vi) long-term improvement average characteristics.

Production of an economic high-density concrete for shielding megavoltage radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors

Background: In megavoltage radiotherapy rooms, ordinary concrete is usually used due to its low construction costs, although higher density concrete are sometimes used, as well. The use of high-density concrete decreases the required thickness of the concrete barrier hence, its disadvantage is its high cost. In a nuclear reactor, neutron radiation is the most difficult to shield. A method for p...

Nuclear 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...
