Nuclear Power Plants Report of a Technical Committee Meeting on the Procedures for Decontamination of Operating Nuclear Power Plants and Handling of Decontamination Wastes

Decontamination and Decommissioned Small Nuclear AIP Hybrid Systems Submarines

Being equipped with small reactor AIP is the trend of conventional submarine power in 21st century as well as a real power revolution in conventional submarine. Thus, the quantity of small reactor AIP Submarines is on the increase, and its decommissioning and decontamination will also become a significant international issue. However, decommissioning the small reactor AIP submarines is not only...

Systems Design for Nuclear Power Plants

Development of Small-size Window Cleaning Robot by Wall Climbing Mechanism

The objective of this research is to develop the small-size and light weight window cleaning robot. The prototype of window cleaning robot has been developed. The dimensions of prototyped robot are approximately 300mm x 300mm x 100mm and its weight is approximately 3 kg. The prototyped robot consists of two independently driven wheels and an active suction cup. The control system which includes...

Reliability of Passive Systems in Nuclear Power Plants

Following the IAEA definitions, [1], a passive component does not need any external input or energy to operate and it relies only upon natural physical laws (e.g. gravity, natural convection, conduction, etc.) and/or on inherent characteristics (properties of materials, internally stored energy, etc.) and/or ‘intelligent’ use of the energy that is inherently available in the system (e.g. decay ...
