Improvement of Passive Safety of Reactors

Nuclear Science and Engineering, 1987
A new subsystem called the passive safety and shutdown system (PSSS) is proposed to improve nuclear reactor safety. The subsystem can be added to the existing reactor coolant system (RCS) by a slight modification. To exemplify how the subsystem improves pressurized water reactor safety, anticipated transient without scram under loss of normal ac power ...

PASSIVE SAFETY OF MOTOR TRANSPORT DEPENDING ON THE

World of transport and technological machines, 2021
The interrelation of thermal modes of brake units of transport vehicles on their reliability and durability depending on operational factors of transport is considered. It is assumed that all the kinetic energy of rotating and translationally moving masses in the brake nodes is converted into thermal energy.

Passive safety evaluation in driving adapted vehicles

International Journal of Vehicle Safety, 2012
[EN] Driving a private vehicle represents nowadays one of the most viable ways by which disabled drivers can maintain their mobility and transport conditions. To do so it is necessary to adapt a vehicle to the user's residual capabilities. Nevertheless the technical aids installed in the vehicles must fulfill the same safety requirements as standard ...
