Considerations in relation to off-site emergency procedures and response for nuclear accidents [PDF]
, 2017 The operation of nuclear facilities has, fortunately, not led to many accidents with off-site consequences. However, it is well-recognised that should a large release of radioactivity occur, the effects in the surrounding area and population will be ...

Are passive smoking, air pollution and obesity a greater mortality risk than major radiation incidents? [PDF]
, 2007 Background Following a nuclear incident, the communication and perception of radiation risk becomes a (perhaps the) major public health issue. In response to such incidents it is therefore crucial to communicate radiation health risks in the context of ...

Factors influencing accident severity: an analysis by road accident type
Transportation Research Procedia, 2020 Abstract Nowadays, road safety is an issue particularly relevant because of the increasing occurrence of road accidents. For this reason, it is very important to analyze accident severity and the factors influencing it. This paper aims to investigate on the characteristics that can influence the severity of an accident by distinguishing between the ...

Severe accident recriticality analyses (SARA)
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2001 Recriticality in a BWR during reflooding of an overheated partly degraded core, i.e. with relocated control rods, has been studied for a total loss of electric power accident scenario. In order to assess the impact of recriticality on reactor safety, including accident management strategies, the following issues have been investigated in the SARA ...

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2018 A steam explosion in a reactor cavity makes a mechanical load of the pressure pulse, which can result in a failure of the containment isolation. To prove the integrity of the containment during the ex-vessel steam explosion, the effects of water ...
