Abstract Background: Peaceful use of nuclear energy is great significance for ensuring security, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and achieving sustainable development environmental-friendly. Nuclear safety the premise foundation civil power industry. As a country with largest scale plants under construction, preventing accidents properly best way to ensure safety. However, background environ...

BACKGROUND Although children experience pain during their daily life, research has generally focused on medical pain. Sport-related pain has not been widely studied in children and research has not examined the occurrence of painful incidents in gymnastics. The prevalence of painful incidents among children in recreational gymnastics classes and accompanying coach responses were recorded. MET...

Objective: To examine the features and emotional impact of peer harassment incidents based on degree of technology involvement. Method: Telephone interviews with a national sample of 791 youth in the United States, ages 10–20. Results: 34% of youth reported 311 harassment incidents in the past year: 54% of incidents involved no technology (in-person only), 15% involved only technology (technolo...

Nuclear power is one of the ways that we can design an efficient sustainable future. Automation is the primary system used to assist operators in the task of monitoring and controlling nuclear power plants (NPP). Automation performs tasks such as assessing the status of the plant's operations as well as making real time life critical situational specific decisions. While the advantages and disa...

Hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) is an important member of the hydroxylamine family and it is a liquid propellant when combined with alkylammonium nitrate fuel in an aqueous solution. Low concentrations of HAN are used primarily in the nuclear industry as a reductant in nuclear material processing and for decontamination of equipment. Also, HAN has been involved in several incidents because of its i...

BACKGROUND Special incidents are harmful events that can result in people's death or injury. Despite registering special incidents' data in Iran, no study has yet been conducted to identify the types, rates, mortality and morbidity of such incidents and their associated factors. The present study was conducted to assess the epidemiology of incidents and their associated factors during 2014 in I...

PURPOSE This study investigates safety climate as both a leading (climate → incident) and a lagging (incident → climate) indicator of safety-critical incidents. This study examines the "shelf life" of a safety climate assessment and its relationships with incidents, both past and future, by examining series of incident rates in order to determine when these predictive relationships expire. DE...

BACKGROUND Inpatient aggression in treatment facilities for persons with intellectual disability (ID) can have aversive consequences, for co-clients and staff, but also for the aggressors themselves. To manage and eventually prevent inpatient aggressive incidents, more knowledge about their types and characteristics is necessary. METHOD In four facilities, totalling 150 beds, specialized in t...

This paper examines lessons from the operating experience in India’s nuclear facilities about factors influencing the risk of potential accidents. Different perspectives on safety in hazardous facilities have identified organizational factors coincident with reliable and accident-free operations; these include functional redundancy and compensation for failures, the importance of organizational...

The chronicle of McLaughlin et al. (2000) details how multiple process criticality accidents occurred in the 1950s and 1960s when criticality safety programmes were in their infancy and when operator training was often overlooked. A period of relative calm prevailed after 1970 as strict mass controls and administrative procedures were introduced together with criticality education programmes. H...
