Research on Status Monitoring and Fault Variables Identification of Nuclear Power Plant Based on Improved Reconstruction‐Based Contribution Analysis

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Online monitoring of nuclear power plant (NPP) operational status is critical for ensuring safe and reliable operation. Given the complexity of NPP systems and the large number of variables to be monitored, conventional monitoring approaches which rely heavily on operators’ experience are facing significant challenges in fault detection and ...

Reactor monitoring and safeguards using antineutrino detectors

open access: yes, 2008
Nuclear reactors have served as the antineutrino source for many fundamental physics experiments. The techniques developed by these experiments make it possible to use these very weakly interacting particles for a practical purpose.

A Nonselective Automatic Method for Kinetic Simulations of Gas Mixtures under Ionizing Radiation: Case Study of a Nuclear‐to‐Chemical Concept

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 5, Issue 12, November 2025.
This study presents here a versatile and automated method based on open‐access curated databases for complex mixture radiolysis kinetic modeling. The case study is a nuclear‐to‐chemical concept. This method provides a robust way for concept evaluation and could pave the way for radiation‐induced technology development in chemical processing.

The SG‐Climbot: An Adaptable, Efficient, Inspection and Repair Robot for Steam Generator Heat Transfer Tube Sheet

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 1080-1102, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The steam generator plays a crucial role as a safety component and protective barrier in nuclear power plants. Regular inspection and repair of heat transfer tubes, which operate in high‐temperature, high‐pressure, corrosive, and abrasive environments for extended periods, are essential.
