The assessment of impact on nuclear power plant structures in the United Kingdom

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1991
Abstract Impact research in the United Kingdom has embraced a wide range of topics during the last fifteen years and advice has been provided in the form of guidelines for use in safety assessments and design studies. It is now the intention to produce a comprehensive Impact Assessment Procedure encompassing the definition of loading, whipping pipe ...

Diagnostics of the structure of a nuclear power plant unit using muonography

Ядерная физика / Physics of Atomic Nuclei
In 2022, a hybrid muon hodoscope with a sensitive area of 3 × 3 m2 for studying the internal structure of large-scale objects using the muonography method was created at MEPhI. The hodoscope’s detecting system has a hybrid structure. It consists of a scintillation strip detector and a drift tube detector and is designed to record tracks of charged ...

Settlements of turbogenerator foundations in the first power unit of the Kura nuclear power plant

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, 1982
1. The results of full-scale instrument observations made it possible to establish that the active settlement stage of turbogenerator foundations continued for a period of three years after the start of construction. Maximum settlements over the entire period amounted to 18–20 mm in contrast to their design value of 58 mm. 2. After two years of service,

On the methodology for the probability evaluation of an aircraft crash on a nuclear power plant site and its nuclear power units

Automation. Modern Techologies, 2022
A mathematically correct new approach to the probability evaluation of an aircraft (AC) crash on a nuclear power plant (NPP) site and its nuclear power units is developed. The approach is based on two key assumptions: the AC completed its flight in airspace in the area of the nuclear power plant and its nuclear power units are located; during the ...

Coping with the Risks of Nuclear Power Plants in the United Kingdom

1983
Risk management is only one element in any national energy policy. There is a possibility that too much emphasis is currently being placed on nuclear-related safety issues at the expense of wider political considerations relevant to a national energy strategy.

Improvement of regulatory documents on decommissioning power-generating units of nuclear power plants

Atomic Energy, 2009
Approaches to revising the documentation regulating the safety of decommissioning power-generating units of nuclear power plants are examined. It is proposed that the concept of planning decommissioning for operating and newly designed power-generating units of nuclear power plants at all stages of their lifecycle be introduced into the analysis. It is

Characteristics of organizational culture at the maintenance units of two Nordic nuclear power plants

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2005
This study aims to characterize and assess the organizational cultures of two Nordic nuclear power plant (NPP) maintenance units. The research consisted of NPP maintenance units of Forsmark (Sweden) and Olkiluoto (Finland). The study strives to anticipate the consequences of the current practices, conceptions and assumptions in the given organizations ...

RADIATION SAFETY AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

РАДИАЦИОННАТА БЕЗОПАСНОСТ В СЪВРЕМЕННИЯ СВЯТ
During the previous conference on radiation safety, we paid attention to the issues of radiation safety at the first UAE nuclear power plant, Barakah. As we have previously stated, “The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates was designed taking into account factors that are important when choosing a suitable location for ...
