Normal and Accidental Scenarios Analyses with MELCOR 1.8.2 and MELCOR 2.1 for the DEMO Helium‐Cooled Pebble Bed Blanket Concept

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
As for Light Water Reactors (LWRs), one of the most challenging accidents for the future DEMOnstration power plant is the Loss of Coolant Accident, which can trigger the pressurization of the confinement structures and components. Hence, careful analyses have to be executed to demonstrate that the confinement barriers are able to withstand the pressure

DERMA: A Melanoma Diagnosis Platform Based on Collaborative Multilabel Analog Reasoning

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The number of melanoma cancer‐related death has increased over the last few years due to the new solar habits. Early diagnosis has become the best prevention method. This work presents a melanoma diagnosis architecture based on the collaboration of several multilabel case‐based reasoning subsystems called DERMA.

Use of Nuclear Data Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis for the Design Preparation of the HCLL Breeder Blanket Mockup Experiment for ITER

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2008, Issue 1, 2008., 2008
An experiment on a mockup of the test blanket module based on helium‐cooled lithium lead (HCLL) concept will be performed in 2008 in the Frascati Neutron Generator (FNG) in order to study neutronics characteristics of the module and the accuracy of the computational tools. With the objective to prepare and optimise the design of the mockup in the sense

Preliminary safety studies for the DEMO HCPB blanket concept

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2015
Abstract Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) blanket concept is one of the DEMO (Demonstration Power Plant) blanket concepts running for the final design selection. Concept relevant safety needs to be addressed at the early stage of the design. In this paper the preliminary safety studies for the current concept have been performed with respect to the ...
