Since nuclear power plants in Japan are located on the seashore, it is also required to ensure sufficient safety against tsunamis and high tidal waves. The Examination Guide for Seismic Design of Nuclear Power Reactor Facilities revised by the Nuclear Safety Commission in 2006 refers to safety consideration of tsunamis and landslide of slopes around site as accompanying phenomena of earthquake ...

The development strategy of nuclear fusion energy in the Korea National Basic Plan for the Development of Fusion Energy consists of several major programs. These are shown in Fig. 1, and include KSTAR for the study of a long-pulse, advanced tokamak operation, ITER for a burning plasma experiment, the DEMO reactor for the demonstration of producing net electricity from a fusion reactor, and a co...

supercritical water oxidation has attracted attention of many researchers ever since the ideahas emerged about three decades ago as a promising technique in the waste managementindustry. providing more details about the behavior of a supercritical water oxidation systemunder various operating conditions and extending available data can greatly assist more accurateand reliable design of such sys...

Today, most software applications, also in the nuclear field, come with a graphical user interface. Recently, the Symbolic Nuclear Analysis Package (SNAP) was designed to simplify the process of performing safety analysis. The purpose of the present study was to develop an SNAP animation model for RELAP5 calculations of a nuclear installation. The facility selected was the Rig of Safety Assessm...

The safety and security of a nuclear facility share a common objective – ensure the protection of the local population, society at large, and the environment. The gradual transition in reactor safety regulation from highly deterministic requirements toward a more riskinformed framework provides a useful analogue for reactor security and ensuring effective resource allocation. However, there are...

have sprung to life in these recent years at the welcome sight of a possible nuclear power renaissance, IRIS (International Reactor Innovative and Secure) is the one that has moved most rapidly from an idea to a viable, albeit still at the preliminary design stage, commercial entry. IRIS is a modular pressurized water reactor with an integral configuration (all primary system components—pumps, ...
