Ground Control and the Principle of Minimizing Radiological Exposure as Key Drivers for the Recovery of Radioactive Waste Out of the Asse II Mine

Ground Control and the Principle of Minimizing Radiological Exposure as Key Drivers for the Recovery of Radioactive Waste Out of the Asse II Mine Geology The Asse salt structure is located in the Southwest of the Hercynian Mountains in Northern Germany. In geological times, compressive tectonic movements ruptured the overlying Read more

Equipment Selection Methodology of Seismic Probability Safety Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant

Equipment Selection Methodology of Seismic Probability Safety Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant 1. Introduction A typical seismic probability safety assessment (SPSA) requires geological, structural, and systems analysts. In the case of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), geological experts can independently perform the analysis, but structural experts performing seismic fragility analysis Read more

Experimental Study of Convective Heat Transfer Through Fuel Pins of a Nuclear Power Plant

Experimental Study of Convective Heat Transfer Through Fuel Pins of a Nuclear Power Plant Cylindrical heat sources are used to model the fuel pins in the reactor core of a nuclear power plant and also in the spent fuel storage. This research was aimed at studying convection through slender cylinders Read more

SSiC Nuclear Waste Canisters: Stability Considerations During Static and Dynamic Impact

SSiC Nuclear Waste Canisters: Stability Considerations During Static and Dynamic Impact Introduction High-level radioactive waste (HLW) is mainly a by-product of technical nuclear reactions. It has the highest radioactivity and longest decay time (millions of years with significant radiation). Most HLW (more than 90%) comes from spent nuclear fuel. The Read more
