SBLOCA analysis for nuclear plant shutdown operations

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...

Nonintrusive intelligent monitoring for nuclear power plant emergency classification

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...

A knowledge-based approach for monitoring and situation assessment at nuclear power plants

Creator:: Heaberlin, Joan Oylear
Abstract:: An approach for developing a computer-based aid to assist in monitoring and assessing nuclear power plant status during situations requiring emergency response has been developed. It is based on the representation of regulatory requirements and plant-specific systems and instrumentation in the form of hierarchical rules. Making use of inferencing techniques...

Investigation of the IRWST flow patterns during a simulated station blackout experiment on the OSU APEX facility

Creator:: Strohecker, Mark F.
Abstract:: The OSU/APEX thermal hydraulic test facility models the passive safety systems of the Westinghouse AP600 advanced light water reactor design. Numerous experiments have been performed to test these systems, the one of focus here is the station blackout scenario. This experiment simulated the complete loss of AC power to all...

Nuclear design analysis of low-power (1-30 KWe) space nuclear reactor systems

Creator:: Gedeon, Stephen R.
Abstract:: Preliminary nuclear design studies have been completed on ten configurations of nuclear reactors for low power (1-30 kWe) space applications utilizing thermionic energy conversion. Additional design studies have been conducted on the TRICE multimegawatt in-core thermionic reactor configuration. In each of the cases, a reactor configuration has been determined which...

Experimental simulations of a rotating bubble membrane radiator for space nuclear power systems

Creator:: Al-Baroudi, Homan Mohammed-Zahid
Abstract:: A rotating, flat plate condensation experiment has been developed to investigate the heat of the Rotating Bubble Membrane Radiator (RBMR). The RBMR is a proposed heat rejection system for space applications which uses working fluid condensation on the inside surface of a rotating sphere to reject heat to space. The...
