Nuclear Power Plant Safety
نویسنده
چکیده
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 articles in the world press, either praising or condemning the trend toward nuclear power.

The spent fuel assemblies (FAs) of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant are planed to be transported by TK-13 casks. Each spent fuel transportation cask holds 12 spent FAs and has a thick steel container to provide shielding. The calculations have been performed for FAs with burn ups of 60 MWd/kg and a 3-years cooling period. The ANSYS®10.0 general finite element analysis package was se...
متن کاملMaintenance Index for System Safety Assessment for Aging Nuclear Power Plant
In this research, called the “the maintenance index,” was proposed to evaluate the reliability of nuclear power plant safety systems by taking into account periodic maintenance of the systems. The change in reliability as a result of changing activity is estimated by this index. The Maintenance Index offers a more comprehensive evaluation of nuclear power plant safety. * Corresponding author, E...
