Currently, about half of all nuclear power plants are located in the United States. There are many different kinds of nuclear power plants, and we will discuss a few important designs in this text. A nuclear power plant harnesses the energy inside atoms themselves and converts this to electricity. All of us use this electricity. In Sect.

2019 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Photonics (EExPolytech), 2019
A control system for values of various physical parameters has been developed for a nuclear power plant with VVER-1000 reactor. Various designs of fiber-optic sensors are considered, which are integrated into a single monitoring and control system ...

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.

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.

Safety of nuclear power plants
Sadhana, 1987The safety of operating nuclear power plants of the CANDU type is described in this paper. The need for a systematic study on these types of heavy water reactors similar to the safety studies done on light water reactors is brought out in this paper.

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.

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.
