Abstract:
This article focuses on various aspects of research theory and development work concerning accidental combustion in nuclear facility and oil industry pipelines. The theory has safety implications for any pipeline where explosive gases can form in liquid-filled systems, and is consistent with pipeline accidents in nuclear power plants, such as Three Mile Island. Nuclear reactor accidents deserve further investigation, since reactor fires and explosions were ignited by sources that were reported to be unknown. The NRC documented extensive actions to improve reactor safety after the Three Mile Is

Abstract:
AbstractIodine evaporated from lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) has been examined with respect to its adsorption behavior on stainless steel in various gases to establish a base for safety evaluations on LBE based nuclear reactors. In inert conditions the iodine forms a single species with an adsorption enthalpy between − 97 and − 106 kJ/mol. The adsorbed species is tentatively identified as bismuth monoiodide, BiI. Addition of moisture to the inert gas has no substantial influence on the adsorption behaviour. For the reducing hydrogen carrier gas depositions with adsorption enthalpies ranging from

Abstract:
The nuclear technology has been widely used in the world. The research of measurement in nuclear installations involves many aspects, such as nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel cycle, safety and security, nuclear accident, after action, analysis, and environmental applications. In last decades, many advanced measuring devices and techniques have been widely applied in nuclear installations. This paper mainly introduces the development of the measuring (instrumentation) methods for nuclear installations and the applications of these instruments and methods.

Abstract:
The severe accident integral codes such as Methods for Estimation of Leakages and Consequences of Releases (MELCOR) are complex tools used to simulate and analyse the progression of a severe accident from the onset of the accident up to the release from the containment. For this reason, these tools are developed in order to simulate different phenomena coupling models which can simulate simultaneously the ThermoHydraulic (TH), the physics and the chemistry. In order to evaluate the performance in the prediction of those complicated phenomena, several experimental facilities were built in Europ

The article reveals an algorithm of calculating the heat loads which emerge during fireball-involving accidents. By way of illustration it considers a situation when a heavy aircraft crashes in the vicinity of a typical reactor building of a nuclear power plant. The given algorithm provides a quite detailed and accurate calculation of maximum heat load values that accompany the accident.

Abstract:
Emergencies are most probably the most important issue at the European and, of course, at the international level, in terms of impact to the economic structures, the ecosystems,and human and environmental resources. A number of emergencies have been identified within the Emergency Management Area and the areas under EMA coverage. These could be summarised as forest fires, chemical fires, structural fires, industrial accidents, oil and chemical spills, explosions, nuclear accidents, radiation, storms, tornadoes, floods, dam ruptures, marine algal blooms, avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, seismic waves, and volcanic eruptions. The modelling and simulation of the environmental hazards in Europe should be harmonised in a way where developments will proceed, through a consensus mechanism, between the industry, the users, and the standardisation organisations, to create a consensus approach by identifying best practice cases in the management (including detection surveillance and monitoring of the emergency), and to plan operational aspects of the emergency situations, identify proper technological breakthroughs, and identify techniques and developments.

The major threat that nuclear power plants (NPPs) pose to the safety of the public comes from the large amount radioactive material released during design-basis accidents (DBAs).

Depending on current applications, majority of Chinese NPPs adopt the method of TID-14844, which uses the whole body and thyroid dose criteria. However, alternative Source Term (AST) are com

For nuclear power stations, the main function of Essential Service Water System (ESWS) is to discharge the waste heat from reactor core and spent fuel pool to the environment controllably, which is directly related to the safety and economy of nuclear power stations. Usually ESWS use open water from sea, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, as heat transfer medium. Extremely harsh environmental conditions may disable system functions and even lead to ESWS failure, directly reduce the safety and economy of nuclear power stations, and cause serious nuclear accidents.
