Coordination Under Uncertain Conditions: An Analysis of the Fukushima Catastrophe [PDF]
This paper analyzes the impacts of the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, which were amplified by a failure of coordination across the plant, corporate, industrial, and regulatory levels, resulting in a ...

Determination of anthropogenic changes on the urbanized territories using GIS technology [PDF]
, 2017 The research aim is to obtain a cartographic model of an urbanized territory by means of thermal survey in an infrared range. With this cartographic model, it will be then possible to reduce the zones in the urbanized territories differing in the level ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Cr0.9Si0.1 protective coatings are developed to enhance the thermal‐shock and oxidation resistance of Mg2Si0.89(Sn0.1,Sb0.01) thermoelectric (TE) materials. The coating forms a dense and adherent barrier that suppresses oxygen diffusion and mitigates mechanical degradation during cyclic oxidation, demonstrating its potential to improve the long‐term ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Plasma‐assisted hybrid friction stir welding of dissimilar AlCu joints employs localized plasma preheating to balance heat input and enhance plastic flow. The optimized process reduces axial force by up to 35%, refines the microstructure, and achieves ≈96% joint efficiency.

Owners of Nuclear Power Plants [PDF]
, 2000 Commercial nuclear power plants in this country can be owned by a number of separate entities, each with varying ownership proportions. Each of these owners may, in turn, have a parent/subsidiary relationship to other companies. In addition, the operator of the plant may be a different entity as well.

Prospects for Nuclear Power [PDF]
The prospects for a revival of nuclear power were dim even before the partial reactor meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear plant. Nuclear power has long been controversial because of concerns about nuclear accidents, proliferation risk, and the storage of ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates the fundamental mechanisms of a novel postweld treatment that significantly enhances fatigue performance through engineered residual stress (RS) states. A multiscale approach correlates tensile RS in the nanometallic multilayer coating with corresponding compressive RS in the steel substrate, thereby reducing localized stress ...
