The reactor core is the central part of a nuclear reactor where nuclear fission occurs. It consists of four basic systems and components: the fuel (including fuel rods and the fuel assembly structure), the coolant, the moderator and the control rods, as well as additional structures such as reactor pressure vessel internals, core support plates, and the lower and upper internal structure in light water reactors. This Safety Guide provides recommendations on meeting the safety requirements established in SSR-2/1 (Rev. 1) applied to the design of the reactor core for nuclear power plants. The publication addresses the safety aspects of the core design and includes neutronic, thermohydraulic, thermomechanical, and structural mechanical aspects. Other aspects considered are those relating to reactor core control, shutdown and monitoring, and core management.

International Atomic Energy Agency
R532 Discovery Miles 5 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

As an integral part of the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO), several collaborative projects were established by its members. The IAEA/INPRO Collaborative Project on Environmental Impact Benchmarking Applicable for Nuclear Energy Systems under Normal Operation (ENV) was one of them. This publication is the outcome of the ENV summarising results developed under this project by the groups of national experts. It presents a set of examples of different approaches for estimating environmental impact from nuclear power plants (NPPs) under normal operation conditions in different countries based on participants' experience and considering the IAEA Safety Standard on a generic framework for consideration of radiological environmental impact. It also contributes to the development of a common understanding in assessing releases from new NPPs and associated activities in terms of the radiation dose to members of the public. This publication will contribute to further improvement of the INPRO methodology and can help Member States applying it to perform a nuclear energy system assessment in the area of environmental impact of stressors.

FUr die Grundstoffindustrie des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen ist die Versorgung mit kostengUnstigen und verfUgbaren Energiequellen und Rohstoffen eine entscheidende Voraus- setzung. Die Kosten fUr fossile Brennstoffe, insbesondere fUr Erdol und Erdgas, sind im Lauf der letzten Jahre auBerordentlich stark angestiegen. Weitere Steigerungen sind zu erwarten. AuBerdem sind die Vorrate erkennbar begrenzt, so daB mit Verknappungen in den nachsten 30 Jahren zu rechnen ist. Kernenergie wird dagegen relativ zu den fossilen Energie- tragern billiger werden, da der Anteil der Brennstoffkosten an den Gesamtkosten fUr die Umwandlung der nuklearen Energie in Strom und/oder ProzeBwarme klein ist. Die Verfahren mit nuklearer Energie bieten zugleich den Vorteil, daB sie mit geschlossenen Kreislaufen arbeiten und auf die Emission von schadlichen Abgasen verzichten. Daher hat die Landesregierung die Forschung auf dem Gebiet der "Nutzung der Kernenergie zur Veredlung fossiler Brennstoffe, zur Herstellung von Stahl und von chemischen Produkten und zur Gewinnung elektrischer Energie" mit beachtlichen Mitteln unterstUtzt. Die Ergebnisse der hierzu in Instituten der RWTH Aachen durchgefUhrten Arbeiten sind in der vorliegenden Studie zusammengefaBt dargestellt. Die Studie berichtet im ersten Teil Uber die Erzeugung und Verwendung von Reduktions- und Synthesegas aus Braunkohle. Dabei wird ein Verfahren zur Vergasung der Braunkohle mit ihrem Eigenwasser in von auBen beheizten Rohren beschrieben und Realisierungsmoglichkeiten werden diskutiert.

Unsere Geseltschaft verbraucht in vielfaltiger Weise Energie. Nicht nur unser Komfort, sondern auch viele notwendigen Fortschritte im sozialen Bereich sind mit diesem Energieverbrauch verknt pft und damit auf eine ausreichende Energieversorgung angewiesen. Die Einfuhrung einer neuen Technologie ist jedoch in der Vergangenheit selten in der (jffentlichkeit mit derart gegensatzlichen Meinungen diskutiert worden wie heute die Kernenergie. Entscheidungen uber neue Technologien sind aber auch politische Entscheidungen und konnen auf vielfache Weise unser alter Leben beeinflussen. Daher begruftcents ich die offentliche Diskus$ion uber solche Entscheidungen, denn sie ist gerade in einer lebendigen Demo kratie notwendig. In Anbetracht der Bedeutung von richtiger und emotionsfreier Information der (jffentlichkeit uber aile Aspekte der Kernenergie solt sowohl Befur wortern als auch Gegnern breiter Raum zur Stellungnahme gewahrt wer den. Es ist mir aber auch ein wesentliches Anliegen, daft die Diskussion nicht in polemischer Weise, sondern in nuchterner Argumentation gefuhrt wird. Die in dieser Broschure enthaltenen Beitrage wurden von Befurwortern und Gegnern der Kernenergie verfaftt und mogen als Beitrage zur grofteren Information sowie als Basis fur eine sachliche Diskussion uber dieses Thema gewertet werden. 5 Die osterreichische undesregierung wird in der Frat, e der .A.tomkraftwerke allen Seiten Gelegenheit geben, ihre Standpunkte offentlich darzulegen. In weiterer Ausfuhrung der Regierungserklarung vom 5. November 1975 wurde ein interministerielles Komitee mit der Vorbereitung einer breit angelegten Aufklarungskampagne iiber Fragen der friedlichen Nutzung der Kernenergie beauftragt und noch im Herbst 1976 wird eine Serie von offentlichen Veranstaltungen und Diskussionen beginnen."

R1,606 Discovery Miles 16 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

1m Jahre 1958 hat die Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaf- ten die Preisaufgabe gestellt, in einer wissenschaftlichen Unter- suchung die Vorteile und Gefahren bei der friedlichen Nutzung der Kernenergie gegeneinander abzuwagen und damit einen Beitrag zu der Frage zu liefern, welches das zweckmaBigste Tempo fiir die Einfiihrung der neuen Energiequelle ist. Dieser Aufgabe hat sich der Autor der vorliegenden Schrift unter Beschrankung der Dar- stellung auf die naturwissenschaftlich-technischen Grundlagen und auf die wichtigsten wirtschaftlichen und soziologischen Aspekte mit Sachkenntnis und hohem VerantwortungsbewuBtsein unter- zogen. Hierbei hat er den Schutz des Menschen vor den Gefahren der Radioaktivitat besonders beriicksichtigt. Seine SchluBfolge- rung, daB der Nutzen sich bei naherer Untersuchung als viel groBer erweise als der unter ungiinstigsten Bedingungen angenommene Schaden, den man bei anderen Industriezweigen ohne weiteres hin- nehmen wiirde, kann als allgemeine Begriindung und Rechtferti- gung fiir die Arbeiten zur Erforschung und Nutzung der Kern- energie in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland dienen. Die Gefahren, die mit der neuen Technik verbunden sind, konnen beherrscht werden. Sie kommen nicht aus der Rationalisierung und Automati- sierung der Produktionsprozesse, sondern aus einer Minderung des VerantwortungsbewuBtseins. Es gilt daher, die Verantwortung des Menschen zu starken, damit er sich jederzeit der Folgen seines Tuns oder Unterlassens im Labor, im Technikum, in der Schaltwarte oder auf welchem Arbeitsplatz auch immer bewuBt ist.
