Integrated photovoltaic BIPV components and the usage of renewable energy is already a standard for reducing power consumption, but it would also be important knowing possible contribution to improve comfort health building occupants assessing an operational balance between consumed produced. This work describes testing methodology employed by authors further study aspects linked human when using semi-transparent elements tested in real setting outdoor weather conditions. research aims...
Abstract. The Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring data bank (REMdb) was created in the aftermath of Chernobyl accident (1986) by European Commission (EC) – Directorate-General Joint Research Centre (DG JRC), sited Ispra (Italy). Since then it has been maintained there with aim to keep a historical record and store radioactivity monitoring gathered through national environmental programs member states (MSs). legal basis is Euratom Treaty, Chapter III Health Safety, Articles 35 36, which...
Abstract. During the early phase of an accident with release radioactive material to environment at local or transboundary scale, a rapid and continuous system information exchange, including real-time monitoring data competent authorities public, is critical for setting up countermeasures. This exchange must be carried out in harmonized consistent manner facilitate its interpretation analysis. After Chernobyl 1986, order avoid being unprepared again similar event, European Commission (EC)...
The intent of minimizing the impact large amount radioactive material potentially released into atmosphere in a nuclear event implies preparedness activities. In early phase and absence field observations, countermeasures would largely rely on previous characterization transport dispersion particles potential levels contamination. This study presents methodology to estimate atmospheric transport, ground deposition patterns particles. starts identifying main airflow directions by means air...
The current paper discusses the most recent advancements in automated vehicle (AV) certification and how existing regulations/best practices from nuclear field helped make AVs a reality. In particular, three main pillars differentiate newly devised frameworks previous automotive regulations: introduction of safety management system, adoption in-service monitoring reporting data logging systems, use virtual testing to demonstrate AV; set that are also found practice. argumentation is informed...
During a hypothetical severe accident in nuclear reactor most of the radioactivity would be released from damaged core and broken primary circuit form aerosols chemical vapours gases. However effective radio-toxicity per unit release fuel depends both on mass as well. The fission products transport has been analysed for Medium Break cold leg Loss Of Coolant Accident (MBLOCA) combined with total loss electric power supply (Station Black Out) reference PWR 1000 using integral code ASTECV1.3...
In the aftermath of a nuclear or radiological accident, an extended mapping reliable dose rate values is key importance for any governmental decision and countermeasures. Presently, numerous dosimetry network stations, operated by national governments member states in Europe, provide such data on hourly basis. Nevertheless, there are large areas Europe that not covered at all these early warning networks other show only low density stations. Hence, may be significant lack information case...
The current tendency is to attribute the cause of each road accident certain factors that, closely related, define a system whose crisis points can construct serious elements danger for safety.The situation then becomes complex when it impossible an sole component 'driver -vehicle -environment -infrastructure', because more than one problem present investigating path leading up event and unclear in what measure hold driver responsible actions that have risked his or her own life, many cases,...
Molten corium stabilization following a severe accident is of crucial importance in order to ensure containment integrity on long-term basis and minimizing radioactive elements releases outside the plant. Among possible options, In-Vessel Retention (IVR) through external cooling appears as an attractive solution that would limit dispersion plant minimize risks failure. Nevertheless its feasibility has be proved.The IVR strategy already adopted Europe for some VVER 440 type 213 reactors...
The Phebus FP severe accident experiments FPT0 and FPT1 were performed at Institut de radioprotection et surete nucleaire (IRSN, Radioprotection Nuclear Safety Institute) Cadarache (France) in 1993 1996 respectively. In each test a 1 m long bundle of fuel rods plus silver indium cadmium control rod was heated to an advanced state degradation the reactor, materials released swept by injected steam flow through model circuit into miniature containment vessel. Test used fresh fuel, while had...
JRODOS was used to simulate the dispersion of airborne radioactive material from a point source over period 2012–2015. In total, 1331 plumes were simulated with objective investigate influence changes in meteorological conditions performance monitoring network. For this purpose, existing set 84 stations included EUropean Radiological Data Exchange Platform (EURDEP) system an area 200 km around is taken as reference. A methodology presented for quantitative evaluation variability number...
ASTEC is an integral code for the prediction of Severe Accidents in Nuclear Power Plants. As such, it needs to cover all physical processes that could occur during accident progression, yet keeping its models simple enough ensemble stay manageable and produce results within acceptable time. The present paper concerned with validation Corium jet fragmentation model v2.0 rev3 by means a selection six experiments carried out FARO facility. different conditions applied these help analyse...
