Nuclear power and nuclear safety

Nuclear Power Plant Safety

In the last decade nuclear reactors have proven to be a source of electrical energy economically competitive with conventional means of power production. With the resulting increase in orders for nuclear power stations there has been a corresponding increase in public awareness of the safety and environmental aspects of these facilities. This public awareness has been evidenced by the number of...

Safety in nuclear power plants in India

Probabilistic Safety Analysis in Safety Management of Nuclear Power Plants

Fundamental principles of protection and safety for nuclear power

by Abel J. Gonzalez I he purpose of this report is to present a draft of a coherent set of fundamental principles of protection and safety for nuclear power, which might be considered as a basis for developing formal principles for an eventual de jure adoption by governments. The objective is to facilitate agreements for a global harmonization on criteria to offset perceived threats from nuclea...
