Severe accident management

2010 2nd International Conference on Reliability, Safety and Hazard - Risk-Based Technologies and Physics-of-Failure Methods (ICRESH), 2010
Complex thermal-hydraulic and severe accident phenomenon is selected during Severe Accident Management. Deterministic approach is considered while assessing the consequences by severe accident due to Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) in vertical nuclear fuel channel. Mitigatory or Severe Accident Management has been used to arrest the temperature of clad

THE EFFECTS OF AUTOMOBILE RECALLS ON THE SEVERITY OF ACCIDENTS [PDF]

open access: possibleEconomic Inquiry, 2012
The number of automobile recalls in the United States has substantially increased over the last two decades, and after a record of over 30 million cars recalled in 2004, in the last few years it has consistently reached between 15 and 17 million, and in 2010 alone 20 million cars were recalled. Toyota's recall crisis in 2010 illustrates how recalls can

Analyzing the severity of accidents on the German Autobahn

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2013
We study the severity of accidents on the German Autobahn in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia using data for the years 2009 until 2011. We use a multinomial logit model to identify statistically relevant factors explaining the severity of the most severe injury, which is classified into the four classes fatal, severe injury, light injury and ...

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 ...

Assessing The Severity Of Recreational Boating Accidents

ECMS 2013 Proceedings edited by: Webjorn Rekdalsbakken, Robin T. Bye, Houxiang Zhang, 2013
The severity of the incidents of recreational boats in Spain during 2011 is analyzed in terms of the region in which the crafts were registered. The data was obtained and coded from the damage reports of one of the main Spanish marine surveyors, source that has been used for the first time to our knowledge in the academic literature.

A new perspective on severe nuclear accidents

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2012
The reactions of the public in Korea to the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plants in Japan, particularly over-reactions, are reviewed, with the conclusion that significant radioactive contamination of a small country could lead to a severe national crisis. The most important factor is the socio-economic damage caused by stigma, which in turn
