Safety Factors for Neutron Fluences in NPP Safety Assessment

Safety assessment and human factors

This chapter examines the safety assessment of systems that include people. Specifically, the chapter is concerned with the analysis of safety in complex, information systems that characteristically support dynamic processes involving large numbers of hardware, software and human elements interacting in many different ways. The chapter assumes little or no knowledge of either safety assessment ...

Radiation Safety Assessment of the New Neutron Radiography System at Tehran Research Reactor

Recently, a new Neutron Radiography (NR) beam line has been designed, constricted, installed and tested based on the use of E-beam tube of Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). Initial tests have been shown that the system can be used for different samples and purposes such as nuclear plates and rods fuels.  For this end the system need a suitable irradiation room which should be installed at the NR b...

Safety Case-oriented Assessment of Human-machine Interface for Npp I&c Systems

A safety assessment approach for human-machine interfaces (HMI) of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) instrumentation and control systems (I&Cs) based on the Safety Case methodology is proposed. I&C assessment model is described taking into account human factor impact. Normative profile based on harmonization and standard requirements selection for choice of HMI safety assessment methods is developed. R...

National Report on „Stress Tests“ NPP Dukovany and NPP Temelín Czech Republic Evaluation of Safety and Safety Margins in the light of the accident of the NPP Fukushima

Safety Assessment of cryIAc for human, animals and environment

Risk assessment of a transgene is one of the key steps in genetic transformation. Hence, in order to use cryIAc gene for production of transgenic plants, a library and in-silico research was performed to confirm safety of the gene for human comsumption, animal feed and environment. In the first step, the molecular mechanism of action of the CryIAc protein and its specific receptors in the midgu...
