International Nuclear Waste Management and Its Compliance in Indian Nuclear Power Plants

Conceivable new recycling of nuclear waste by nuclear power companies in their plants

We outline the basic principles and the needed experiments for a conceivable new recycling of nuclear waste by the power plants themselves to avoid its transportation and storage to a (yet unknown) dumping area. Details are provided in an adjoining paper and in patents pending.

Probabilistic Safety Analysis in Safety Management of Nuclear Power Plants

New Generation Nuclear Power Plants

− The radioactivity measurement techniques being developed within the EMRP “MetroFission” Joint Research Project (JRP) [1], are aimed at performing on-site activity measurements, by the development of a portable Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio (TDCR) system along with associated digital electronics. The TDCR standardisation method for beta-emitting radionuclides (e.g. H and Pu) produces an e...

Risk-Informed Incident Management for Nuclear Power Plants

Decision making as a part of nuclear power plant operations is a critical, but common, task. Plant management is forced to make decisions that may have safety and economic consequences. Formal decision theory offers the potential for a structured approach capable of taking into account risk-related aspects (plant and worker safety, for instance) and, at the same time, important factors like eco...
