Creator:: Fundak, Robert
Abstract:: Rapid emergency response decisions from a radiation release are necessary in order to prevent the general public from being exposed to a potential radiation hazard. A one meter exposure rate measurement is all that is necessary to establish relocation and food control areas when the ground is contaminated at the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: deficiencies in commercial reactor safety were not hardware problems, they were management problems. TMI

Creator:: Youssefnia, Mohammad Hossein
Abstract:: This study focuses on investigation of the RETRAN modeling concepts in the analysis of a safety valve discharge transient. Three safety valve tests conducted at the Combustion Engineering test facility were chosen for evaluation with RETRAN. It was essential to apply the critical flow boundary condition at the downstream nodes...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: measure incorporated in the design of reactor safety systems, further pressure relief is also provided

Creator:: Sui, Yueh Chun
Abstract:: This study addresses the application of a full reactor system computer code to simulate the reactor primary and secondary loop thermal hydraulics, plant control and protection systems during the steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) events. The Trojan nuclear plant which is owned and operated by the Portland General Electric (PGE)...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Wang, Yi
Abstract:: A series of small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) analyses in nuclear plant shutdown operations was simulated using the code RELAP5A,MOD3 version 8.0 to predict the SBLOCA phenomena in the Zion-l nuclear power plant The first objective is to study the impact of SBLOCA (1" and 2" breaks) on...

Creator:: Al-Kheliewi, Abdullah S.
Abstract:: A transient code (TFETC) for calculating the temperature distribution throughout the radial and axial positions of a thermionic fuel element (TFE) has been successfully developed. It accommodates the variations of temperatures, thermal power, electrical power, voltage, and current density throughout the TFE as a function of time as well as...

Full Text:: for Privacy performance. It enhances the safety factor in the case of a loss of flow accident

Creator:: Greene, Kenneth R. (Kenneth Ray), 1958-
Abstract:: A prototype real-time process monitoring emergency classification expert system, RT/EM-CLASS, has been developed for use at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. This knowledge-based system features the integration of electronically sensed plant data with the menu selection data representation of its predecessor, EM-CLASS. This prototype demonstrates the techniques required to acquire...

Creator:: Rusher, Christopher deCastrique
Abstract:: The Department of Nuclear Engineering at Oregon State University has performed a series of confirmatory tests for the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC). These tests have been conducted in the Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) Facility which is a one quarter height scaled simulation of the Westinghouse Advanced Passive 600...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Wachs, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The phenomena of interest in this work is the thermal stratification which occurs during the early stages of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility, which is a scaled model of the Westinghouse AP600 nuclear power plant. Thermal stratification has been linked to...
