... of a nuclear power plant (NPP) severe accident (SA) with reactor core melting and formation of hazardous material system known as corium. The main objective of the project is to establish coordinated activities, enabling the development of a common vision and severe accident research roadmaps for the next...

... in the experimental rig 1 of the Nuclear Engineering Department of National Technical University of Athens (NTUA-NED-ER1) inside which the dry out and the rewetting process of a hot vertical rod can be simulated. Experiments have been conducted at atmospheric conditions with liquid coolant flow rate within the range...

..., a number of pioneering hazard analyses has relied on geomorphology and some characteristics of local climate. In particular, the hazard analyses contribute to site evaluation for nuclear power plants [ 10 , 11 ]. Some researchers have successfully estimated probabilistic volcanic tephra fallout hazards...

... are characterized. Some of the model predictions on the effectiveness of communication are verified with the observations in other's survey studies. The proposed model could potentially be used to help devise risk communication strategies and policies. Its use is demonstrated in a case study of Fukushima nuclear...

... Mechanical Nuclear Random The important information in many modern measurements is contained in relatively small changes that can have a large impact on experimental outcomes. Given the importance placed on high confidence in the results, the importance of measurement uncertainty in the design...

...Bilal M. Ayyub; Athanasios A. Pantelous; Jia Shao In light of the 2011 Fukushima disaster, recent discussion has focused on finding the best nuclear storage options, maximizing the oversight power of global institutions, and strengthening safety measures. In addition to these, the development...
