MODELING LOFW IN A PWR USING MELCOR
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2021 The Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) is part of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) licensing process. It considers the elaboration and updating of probabilistic models that estimate the risk associated to the operation, allowing the risk monitoring from ...

Severe Accidents Management in PWRs
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractThis paper identifies severe accident management strategies developed for current evolutionary reactors and deals with implementation of some measures to existing nuclear power plants, which do not include severe accident mitigation measures in their original design projects.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE SPREADING AND HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF EX-VESSEL CORE MELT
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2013 The flow and heat transfer characteristics of the ex-vessel core melt (corium) were investigated using a commercial CFD code along with the experimental data on the spreading of corium available in the literature (VULCANO VE-U7 test).

Drug use and the severity of a traffic accident [PDF]
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2005 Several studies have showed that driving under the influence of alcohol and/or certain illicit or medicinal drugs increases the risk of a (severe) crash. Data with respect to the question whether this also leads to a more severe accident are sparse. This study examines the relationship between the use of alcohol, illicit drugs and/or medicinal drugs ...

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 ...

International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2020 Among all the transportation services available, road transport is one of the most important services available. It acts as a feeder for the other services. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the road transport amounts to the traffic of about 87% related to the passenger and 60% related to the freight. Now, there is another field,
