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 ...

A platform for the development and evaluation of passive safety applications

2012 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2012
In this paper, we present a platform for aiding in the development and evaluation of novel ITS passive safety applications. Such applications work by having vehicles detect certain events that may be dangerous to other vehicles and disseminating reports about these events using wireless communication.

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 ...
