Global Zero: The new old agenda [PDF]

, 2009
The project of abolishing all nuclear weapons has been given fresh impetus but the old questions remain. Having regard to the manifold problems of definition and verification, is 'Global Zero' realistic in a world in which proliferation seems more likely

Machine-learning methods for blind characterisation of nuclear fuel assemblies

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
The global prevalence of uranium as fissile fuel in nuclear reactors, paired with its transmutation to plutonium inside the core in an isotopic ratio corresponding to a direct-use material in significant quantities, makes the handling of spent nuclear fuel an important and sensitive matter towards non-proliferation efforts.

The Seismic Response Affection of the Nuclear Reactor WWER 1000 Nuclear Fuel Assemblies

, 2010
The paper deals with mathematical modelling and computer simulation of the seismic response of chosen components of the nuclear WWER 1000 reactor. The seismic response is investigated by numerical integration method in time domain. The seismic excitation is given by two horizontal and one vertical synthetic accelerograms at the level of the pressure ...
