Nuclear steam power plants (NPP) are characterized by low efficiency, compared to steam power plants using fossil fuels. This is due to the relatively low temperature and pressure-throttling conditions of the NPP compared to those using fossil fuel. The light water pressurized water reactor (LW...

As none of the concepts used for defining critical infrastructures over the years are considered comprehensive, in this paper we propose a method for defining them using a set of criteria and a weighted scoring technique. This set comprises criteria developed from Normal Accidents Theory and...

In the case of a large nuclear set (like the French set), nuclear production needs to be flexible to adjust to the predicted evolutions of the energy demmand. Consequently, the dominant position of nuclear in the national energy mix makes it responsible for the overall equilibrium of the...

The two main objectives of the project are: *) Knowledge capitalisation : to integrate the huge amount of knowledge accumulated by EDF during those last twenty years on safety, summarised in the APE (Approche Par Etats, State-oriented Approach), methodology which is an approach based on the...

While a large literature exists on the siting of controversial facilities, few theories about spatial location have been tested on large samples. Using a new dataset from Japan, this paper demonstrates that state agencies choose localities judged weakest in local civil society as host...

This study presents a hybrid monitoring system for nuclear reactor utilizing neural networks and a rule-based real-time expert system. The whole monitoring system including a data acquisition system and the advisory displays has been tested by an online simulator of pressurized water reactor....

The attitude of local communities near a nuclear power plant (NPP) is a key factor in nuclear policy decision making in Japan. This case study compared local citizens' attitudes in 2010 and 2011 toward the benefits and drawbacks of hosting Kashiwazaki–Kariwa NPP. The Fukushima accident...
