Identifying Underground Nuclear Explosions (UNEs) and discriminating them from natural earthquakes is a critical issue for the verification of the Comprehensive nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The earthquake source is described as a shear dislocation on a fault plane, which generates both Pand S-wave at the source. On the other hand, the nuclear explosion source is described as an isotropic vol...

Nuclear power is a major source of electricity in the international community. However, significant problem with nuclear that, if severe accident occurs, radiation may leak and cause great damage. As such, research on safety has become increasingly popular worldwide. In this paper, structural integrity reactor cavity during steam explosion—one kind aforementioned accidents—was evaluated. Steam ...

Motivation The Comprehensive-Nuclear-Test-Ban-Treaty (CTBT) aim to prohibit any nuclear explosion on Earth. For its realization a nuclear test verification strategy has to be set up, consisting of three pillars: •Monitoring • International Data Center •On-Site Inspection (OSI) OSI aims to be the ultimate tool to clarify wether or not a nuclear test has been carried out in violation of the CTBT....

Vapor film formation and growth due to contact of a hot body and other liquids arise in some industrial applications including nuclear fuel rods, foundry and production of paper. The possibility of a steam explosion remains in most of these cases which could result in injuries and financial damage. Due to the importance of such phenomenon, this study deals with vapor layer forming, growth, and ...
