Smart support system for diagnosing severe accidents in nuclear power plants

Alternative evacuation strategies for nuclear power accidents

In the U.S., current protective-action strategies to safeguard the public following a nuclear power accident have remained largely unchanged since their implementation in the early 1980s. In the past thirty years, new technologies have been introduced, allowing faster computations, better modeling of predicted radiological consequences, and improved accident mapping using geographic information...

Accidents in a nuclear power reactor operation.

Mobile Post-Emergency Monitoring System for Nuclear Power Plants

In this paper, a concept of designing the post-emergency system for monitoring the equipment and territory of nuclear power plant after a severe accident was developed. Power and communications network lines are found out as the most vulnerable ones during the accident monitoring, and selfdescriptiveness and survivability and veracity are recognized as system basic parameters. To ensure the sel...

A Conceptual Model for Integrative Monitoring of Nuclear Power Plants Operational Activities Based on Historical Nuclear Incidents and Accidents

A conceptual model for improvement in nuclear power plant operational safety and monitoring is presented. The innovation of this model is based on a calibrated software that utilizes an interactive component, thereby, eliminating a Corrective Action Management Plan’s sole dependence on informational databases. Artificial intelligence tools are used to build this model and, subsequently, support...

Comparison of the Chernobyl and Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants Accidents and their Consequences

This work compares the radioactive consequences due to the Chernobyl and Fukushima NPP accidents. Due to non-homogeneous features of the fallouts of radioactive isotopes in the both cases the comparison of radioactive contamination density was compared for similar administrative units – in Russia (Bryansk region, Novozibkov subregion) and in Japan (Fukushima prefecture, Namie municipality). We ...
