Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTHORIA EHANCEMENT OF NUCLEAR REACTOR SAFETYBarbara Szpunar, Jerzy SzpunarThe recent nuclear accident in Fukushima demonstrates that a nuclear mishap should be viewed using interdisciplinary tools. For example, the urania fuel melts not only because of enhanced neutron flux but also because its thermal conductivity degrades when it oxidizes. Here we present the application of first principles calculations to evaluate the structural, mechanical and thermal properties of traditional urania … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,640 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNuclear Reactors, their Types and Impact on Safety, Environment and Sustainability towards a Green FutureAyush Kumar A, Godwin Glivin, N. Kalaiselvan, V. MariappanThe current world is shifting rapidly towards clean energy sources due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuels. Also, as a solution to the extremely intense growing demand of energy across most of the countries and increasing pollution, nuclear energy is considered as a strategic alternative as it is both clean and does not pollute the environment. When compared with … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 29 Oct 2020 · 6,975 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Hydraulic Analysis of Double Ended Hot Leg Pipeline Break Accident in AP1000 ReactorM.M. Sadeghiazad, F. Choobdar RahimIn the present research, the Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), as a postulated accident in nuclear reactors, in its worst condition called large LOCA has been modeled. A specific type of large LOCA in which a totally guillotine break occurs in the hot leg pipe is the Double Ended Hot Leg (DEHL). Once the ‘LOCA’ occurs, the pipe is break … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 14 May 2020 · 7,665 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGraph Representation for Secondary System of Pressurized Water Reactor with Autocatalytic Set ApproachAzmirul Ashaari, Tahir Ahmad, Mustaffa Shamsuddin et al.The pace of nuclear reactor development in increasing and this is caused by the high authoritative ordinance of electricity from the end users. Furthermore, maintaining and controlling nuclear reactor operation are high priorities due to safety reasons. The aim of this paper is to describe the secondary system of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) system by using graph. Furthermore, fuzzy graph … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2015 · 7,066 accessesView PDF Cite
