Assessing the Impact of Common Cause Failures on Site Risk within Level 1 Multi‐Unit PSA
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Common cause failures (CCFs) may lead to the simultaneous unavailability or failure of numerous components in the nuclear power plant because of the existence of a shared cause when an initiating event disrupts the normal functioning of nuclear power plants.

Strategic roadmap to assess forest vulnerability under air pollution and climate change
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 17, Page 5062-5085, September 2022., 2022 Air pollution and climate change interact in affecting forest ecosystems. IUFRO experts propose major prospects for protecting vulnerable forests. We need more long‐term ground monitoring sites, satellite monitoring, species‐specific critical levels, combined experimental studies e.g.

A democratic nuclear energy transition? Public participation in nuclear activities
Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 199-209, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Governments, local authorities and civil society organizations are becoming increasingly vocal regarding the domestic and transboundary risks that nuclear power represents to health and the environment. While participatory rights are gaining importance in the nuclear sector, nuclear‐related activities have been at the centre of inconsistencies

Multi-unit risk assessment of nuclear power plants: Current status and issues
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018 After the Fukushima-Daiichi accident in 2011, the multi-unit risk, i.e., the risk due to several nuclear power plants (NPPs) in a site has become an important issue in several countries such as Korea, Canada, and China.

Experimental Research for CHF Sensitivity of Heat Flux Distribution under IVR Conditions
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 In‐vessel retention (IVR) through external reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) is one of the most effective severe accident mitigation measures in the nuclear power plants. The most influential issues on the IVR strategy are in‐vessel core melt evolution, the heat fluxes imposed on the lower head, and the external cooling of reactor pressurized vessel (RPV).

Uranium Recovery from Phosphates for Self‐Sufficient Nuclear Power in the Eastern Mediterranean
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Production of phosphate fertilizers (PF), without uranium recovery, amounts to dispersing uranium compounds on agricultural fields. These compounds are naturally hidden in phosphate rock deposits prior to processing. Such a dispersion is a cumulative environmental damage, that may become rather catastrophic in few hundred years, under the current rates

Analysis of containment pressure control strategy in HPR1000 NPP under severe accidents
International Journal of Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design and Technology, 2023 Containment is the last barrier of preventing the release of radioactive fission products in a nuclear power plant (NPP). It has the top priority of its strategy in a severe accident (SA) to ensure the integrity of containment.
