Dry-type air-core shunt reactors are now being used more frequently on high voltage power transmission systems to limit overvoltages. Recently, high voltage dry-type air-core shunt reactors have been designed, manufactured and installed directly connected to the transmission systems at voltages up to and including 345 kV. Applications at 500 kV are presently being considered. These ratings requ...

S pace nuclear power is a doubleedged sword. Although it has played a constructive role in the exploration of space and could continue to do so, it has been burdened by an extensive history of aCCidents and failures, both Soviet and American. Numerous nuclear-powered spacecraft have released radioactive materials. Spent reactors now in Earth orbit exacerbate the threat posed by orbital debris. ...

The history of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) demonstrate that peaceful nuclear energy is a myth. As our January 2007 Briefing, “Civil Nuclear Power and Nuclear Weapons Proliferation”, explains promoting ‘peaceful’ nuclear power has accelerated nuclear weapons proliferation. Nuclear reactors in India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Kore...

Reference 1-GWe D-T reactors; tokamak TR-1, spherical tokamak ST-1 and helical HR-1 reactors, are designed using PEC (Physics Engineering Cost) code, and thier plasma behaviors with Internal Transport Barrier (ITB) operations are analyzed using TOTAL (Toroidal Transport Analysis Linkage) code, which clarifies the requirement of deep penetration of pellet fueling to realize steady-state advanced...

We discuss a somewhat futuristic plan for a world network of enormous neutrino detec tors which may be employed for monitoring the activity of all reactors on earth Three or more cubic kilometer size instruments with sensitivity down to about MeV placed in the deep oceans or possibly lakes can record the electron anti neutrino uxes from reactors no matter where they reside Using known power lev...

Nuclear reactors have served as the antineutrino source for many fundamental physics experiments. The techniques developed by these experiments make it possible to use these very weakly interacting particles for a practical purpose. The large flux of antineutrinos that leaves a reactor carries information about two quantities of interest for safeguards: the reactor power and fissile inventory. ...

Traditionally, the concept of ALARA has been the basis for limitation and optimisation of releases of radioactive substances from nuclear power reactors in order to protect human health. In recent years, it has been discussed whether the ALARA principle can be applied also to protect the environment. For the protection of the environment, in particular for non-nuclear pollutants, the precaution...
