Operators of nuclear power plants may not be equipped with sufficient information during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), which can be fatal, or they may not have sufficient time to analyze the information they do have, even if this information is adequate. It is not easy to predict theprogressionof LOCAs innuclear power plants. Therefore, accurate informationon theLOCAbreakpositionandsize sh...

“Locative media may be understood to mean media in which context is crucial, in that the media pertains to specific location and time, the point of spatio-temporal 'capture', dissemination or some point in between. The term "locative media" initially appeared [...in 2003...] as a tentative category for new media art that sought to explore the intersection of the virtual space of the Internet wi...

Since nuclear power plant (NPP) has lots of functions and systems, operated procedure is much complicated and the chance of human error to operate the safety systems is quite high when an accident occurs. There are two approaches to cool down the reactor coolant system (RCS) after an accident in a NPP. One is heat removal by a secondary side and the other is heat removal by a feedand-bleed (F&B...

The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) breeding blanket, being developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and its partners is one two driver blanket candidates to be selected for European demonstration fusion power plant (EU DEMO). in-box Loss Coolant Accident (LOCA) a postulated initiating event (BB) that must accounted within design basis. In this paper, BB cap region analyzed abil...

Background: The late-onset cerebellar ataxias (LOCAs) have until recently resisted molecular diagnosis. Contributing to this diagnostic gap is that non-coding structural variations, such as repeat expansions, are not fully accessible standard short-read sequencing analysis. Methods: We combined bioinformatics analysis of whole-genome and long-read search for expansions in patients with LOCA. en...

Many studies have been made on clinical aspects, immunol ogy, bacteriology and treatment of en 'thema nodosumleprosum (ENL). It s patho'logy ha s been described , among others, by Murata (3), Sugai a nd Monobe (X), M itsuda (2), Reiss (5), Rodriguez (6), Wolcott (9) and Sasaki (1), on the basis of light microscopy. However, electron microscopic studies have not bee n reported. Recent advances i...

We can trace the development of notary on Eastern coast Adriatic and its hinterland since 11th century. Since then, notaries had right to issue documents in cities. In Istria, note u appears for first time historical sources 932 Koper, from 991 Poreč. The issued by public faith (fides publicam) were valid as evidence court cases. At end 12th century, appeared all Dalmatian cities a very importa...

Safety of a nuclear power plant and its related systems are the first key issue to assure experts and the public of the safe operation of the plant. The AP1000 reactor is provided with passive safety systems which require no operator actions due to utilizing only natural forces such as gravity, natural circulation and compressed gas to achieve the safety function. In this paper the core damage ...

In this study, uncertainty and sensitivity analyses were performed with MELCOR 2.2.18 to study the hydrogen generation (figure-of-merit (FoM)) during in-vessel phase of a severe accident in light water reactor. The focus work was laid on large generation-III pressurized reactor (PWR) double-ended hot leg (HL) break loss coolant (LB-LOCA) without safety injection (SI). FPT-1 Phebus integral expe...
