Turbomachinery Design Considerations for the Nuclear HTGR-GT Power Plant

Design Considerations for the Implementation of a Mobile IP Telephony System in a Nuclear Power Plant

IP telephony, also called voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), is rapidly becoming a familiar term and technology that is implementing in the enterprise, education, government organizations and industry. Mobile IP telephony is the new generation of communications networks that makes possible the convergence of voice and data over wireless local area networks (WLANs). This technology combines da...

Environmental gamma spectrometry for Polish Nuclear Power Plant – preliminary considerations

Poland faces a choice of an environmental radiation monitoring systems (ERMS) for newly designed Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Contemporary radiation monitoring systems can be based on gamma detector cooperated with Multichannel Analyzer (MCA). This solution will give a tool for very fast assessment of radiological situation around NPP and allows authority to react in case of radiological circumst...

Human centered design for nuclear power plant control room modernization

The use of nuclear power plants to produce electric energy is a safety-critical process where ultimate operational decisions still relies with the control room operators. Thus it is important to provide the best possible decision support through effective supervisory control interfaces. A human centered design approach, based on cognitive task analysis methods, was used to observe the operators...

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...
