Research on Severe Accident Management Strategies of Spent Fuel Pool
Volume 7: Fuel Cycle, Decontamination and Decommissioning, Radiation Protection, Shielding, and Waste Management; Mitigation Strategies for Beyond Design Basis Events, 2017It is more and more concerned after Fukushima Daiichi about spent fuel pool severe accident management, and it is also required by the regulatory body of NSC (Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center). During such a beyond design basis event, spent fuel assembly becomes over-heated and finally damaged.

Large Break LOCA Accident Management Strategies for Accidents With Large Containment Leaks
Volume 2: Thermal Hydraulics, 2006The goal of this work is the investigation of the influence of different accident management strategies on the thermal-hydraulics in the containment during a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident with a large containment leak from the beginning of the accident. The increasing relevance of terrorism suggests a closer look at this kind of severe accidents.

Passive depressurization accident management strategy for boiling water reactors
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2015Abstract According to the current severe accident management guidance, operators are required to depressurize the reactor coolant system to prevent or mitigate the effects of direct containment heating using the safety/relief valves. During the course of a severe accident, the pressure boundary might fail prematurely, resulting in a rapid ...

Improvement of Molten Core Cooling Strategy in a Severe Accident Management Guideline
Nuclear Technology, 2012Weaknesses of the current Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) in handling the cooling of a molten core are discussed, and three improvements for the SAMG are presented. It is suggested that instrumentation to detect either a breach of the reactor vessel or a discharge of corium into the reactor cavity is essential to effectively perform the ...

Preventing accidents to elderly people: a strategy for managing risks
International Journal for Consumer and Product Safety, 1998Abstract The aim of this paper was to draw together four pieces of research to see what lessons they have for risk strategies which might help prevent accidents to elderly people. The role of education and training programmes is particularly addressed. It is concluded that any strategy must include a multi-disciplinary approach and must involve elderly

An evaluation of the severe accident management strategies for CANDU-6 type plants
Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2009Abstract This paper provides an evaluation of the mitigation effects for the severe accident management strategies of the Wolsong plants which are typical CANDU-6 type reactors. The evaluation includes the effect of the following six mitigation strategies: (1) injection into the primary heat transport system (PHTS), (2) injection into the calandria ...

Role of the man–machine interface in accident management strategies
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2001Abstract First, this paper gives a short general review on important safety issues in the field of man–machine interaction as expressed by important nuclear safety organisations. Then follows a summary discussion on what constitutes a modern Man–Machine Interface (MMI) and what is normally meant with accident management and accident management ...

Severe accident management strategy verification for VVER-1000 (V320) reactor
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2011Abstract Severe accident analysis of a reactor is an important aspect in evaluation of source term. This in turn helps in emergency planning and Severe Accident Management (SAM). The use of the Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) is required for accident situation which is not handled adequately through the use of Emergency Operating ...

Containment venting as an accident management strategy for BWRS with Mark I containments
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1990Abstract A quantitative evaluation of primary containment venting was performed to assess its risk reduction potential. A boiling water reactor with a Mark I containment was evaluated by developing simplified containment event trees for its risk dominant sequences. Risk results were benchmarked with those from the NUREG-1150 risk rebaselining effort,
