Nuclear power plant maintainability
Applied Ergonomics, 1982In the mid-1970s a general awareness of human factors engineering deficiencies associated with power plant control rooms took shape and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) awarded the Lockheed Corporation a contract to review the human factors aspects of five representative operational control rooms and their associated simulators.

Nuclear Power Plants and Maintainability
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1965The expanding use of nuclear energy in the power generation field is such that the maintainability aspects of design and maintenance concepts will soon be of interest to an increasingly larger number of designers, logisticians and human factors engineers.

The building of more nuclear power plants is one of the proposed solutions to the increasing production of anthropogenic CO2 and the mitigation of the global warming threat. Had the USA constructed an additional 56 nuclear power plants in the 1990s, the country would have been in compliance with the Kyoto protocol.

Nuclear power plants are thermal power plants similar, to those burning fossil fuels. The main difference lies within the source of heat used to generate steam. In conventional power plants fossil fuels are burned in the boiler to generate high pressure steam that is used to drive the turbines which produce electricity.

Locating Nuclear Power Plants Underground
Environmental Letters, 1975This paper reviews some of the questions that have been asked by experts and others as to why nuclear power plants are not located or placed underground. While the safeguards and present designs make such installations unnecessary, there are some definite advantages that warrant the additional cost involved.

Fission power plants take advantage of the dependence of the binding energy per nucleon binding energy per nucleon on the mass of nuclei. The binding energy of uranium is about 7.5 MeV/nucleon, that of the fission products is about 8.5 MeV/nucleon. Since the fission products are more tightly bound, they have a smaller mass per nucleon. The fission of a

DIGITAL CONTROL IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1983Abstract This document presents the latest automatic control structures used in the programmable control systems of 13.00 MW nuclear power plants constructed by Electricite de France. The impact of this technological innovation goes beyond a straightforward design modification; in addition to the new ranee of processes made possible, it permits far ...
