VESDA by Xtralis White paper Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection in Nuclear Power Facilities
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The effects of a small fire event at a nuclear power plant can disrupt the supply of electricity to many thousands of customers and loss of feed-in tariffs to the operator. The consequences of a serious fire that causes core damage can affect the health and welfare of millions, perhaps generations of citizens and the environment. Clearly the stakes are very high. Nothing defines 'mission-critical' like nuclear facilities.

Released radioactive materials from a nuclear power plant due to an accident can be transported to far regions by wind. Some models are available to predict the dispersion. This article reports some parts of the results of a research in which using one of the models, named HYSPLIT, to predict the dispersion of some isotopes of iodine and cesium released from ten nuclear power plant to the atmos...
متن کاملFire detection using video sequences in urban out-door environment
Nowadays automated early warning systems are essential in human life. One of these systems is fire detection which plays an important role in surveillance and security systems because the fire can spread quickly and cause great damage to an area. Traditional fire detection methods usually are based on smoke and temperature detectors (sensors). These methods cannot work properly in large space a...
متن کاملPower Quality Early Warning Based on Anomaly Detection
Different power quality (PQ) disturbance sources can have major impacts on the power supply grid. This study proposes, for the first time, an early warning approach to identifying PQ problems and providing early warning prompts based on the monitored data of PQ disturbance sources. To establish a steady-state power quality early warning index system, the characteristics of PQ disturbance source...

Cigarette smoke contains around 4000 chemical substances including free radicals and carcinogens, which are xenobiotic agents in the body, affecting the reproductive system. Purple sweet potatoes contain the color pigment anthocyanin. The purple color pigment (anthocyanin) in purple sweet potatoes is a beneficial antioxidant because it can react with free radicals that can cause damage in the b...
متن کاملFlame Detection for Video-Based Early Fire Warning for the Protection of Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage and archaeological sites are exposed to the risk of fire and early warning is the only way to avoid losses and damages. The use of terrestrial systems, typically based on video cameras, is currently the most promising solution for advanced automatic wildfire surveillance and monitoring. Video cameras are sensitive in visible spectra and can be used either for flame or smoke de...
