The cost of phasing out nuclear power: a quantitative assessment of alternative scenarios for Germany [PDF]
In the debate on the premature phase-out of nuclear power generation in Germany, there is an intense dispute on the effective operating time for the existing nuclear power plants. This paper addresses the question of how alternative phase-out regulations

An Application of ASP in Nuclear Engineering: Explaining the Three Mile Island Nuclear Accident Scenario [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The paper describes an ongoing effort in developing a declarative system for supporting operators in the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) control room. The focus is on two modules: diagnosis and explanation of events that happened in NPPs. We describe an Answer Set Programming (ASP) representation of an NPP, which consists of declarations of state variables ...

The Paks Nuclear Power Plant: scientific inventions - practical applications [PDF]
, 1999 A fair question may be what lessons and messages a presentation of a nuclear power plant that was conceptualized in the sixties-seventies and commissioned in the eighties tan provide.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Cardiac motion may degrade dose distribution during stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation using the CyberKnife system, a robotic radiosurgery system. This study evaluated the dose distribution changes using a self‐made cardiac dynamic platform that mimics cardiac motion. Methods The cardiac dynamic platform was operated with amplitudes

Adaptive undervoltage protection scheme for safety bus in nuclear power plants
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022 In the event of a short-circuit accident on a 4.16 kV non-safety bus, the voltage is temporarily lowered as backflow occurs on the safety bus. In such cases, the undervoltage relay of the safety bus shall not pick up the undervoltage so as not to ...

A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

Safety in nuclear power plants in India
Indian Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2008 Safety in nuclear power plants (NPPs) in India is a very important topic and it is necessary to dissipate correct information to all the readers and the public at large. In this article, I have briefly described how the safety in our NPPs is maintained. Safety is accorded overriding priority in all the activities.
