Nuclear reactors

Reactor safety

Babcock Wilcox that make nuclear reactors, here's an integral fast reactor.

Plutonium utilization in ageing Russian reactors could lead to proliferation from civil reactor sites.

In fact, I design nuclear reactors.

Thorium reactor that Nathan Myhrvold's involved in.

It is designed to provide a solid containment for the remnants of the reactor.

Poland currently operates one nuclear research reactor.

This would be an arrangement that is virtually immune to reactor accidents, as it can be turned off simply by turning the accelerator off.

Now, it's kind of nuts to work on a new nuclear reactor.

In order to transform the quot sarcophagus quot into a safe facility, it was necessary to begin immediately to launch an integrated programme, which would include stabilizing the structure housing the destroyed reactor, emptying the reactor of its highly radioactive fuel and disposing of it in accordance with international rules, and deactivating and dismantling the quot sarcophagus quot and the destroyed reactor.

(g) In May 1996, the sections on reactors and reactor equipment, on non nuclear materials, on the fabrication of fuel elements as well as on heavy water production were reviewed. Parts of these sections were updated and new, detailed equipment was added

In response to concerns about the security of research reactors, IAEA developed an integrated plan for enhancing the security of research reactors.

Moreover, four reactors were de commissioned during 2009, and a larger number of reactors in Japan and Germany are not in use, owing to various technical stoppages. At least one hundred older and smaller reactors will most likely be closed over the next 10 15 years.

So just imagine you take your P.C. and throw it into a nuclear reactor and it still has to work.

IAEA has published more than 100 documents (standards and guidance) on the safety of reactors in land based nuclear power plants and also for research reactors in its Safety Series.

So I think microreactors is going to be important for the future.

Special attention should be given to the reconstruction of the sarcophagus that had been built over the damaged reactor.

While Belgium, Germany, Spain and Sweden had decided to phase out their nuclear reactors, China, the United Kingdom and the United States were planning to construct more of them.

We've got to take that, we've got to make that into a fusion reactor.

Construction of five PHWRs is progressing on schedule.

(a) Liquid metal (NaK) coolant droplets from nuclear reactor cores dumped in a 950 km storage orbit

The Russian space programme using reactor NPS is almost exclusively based on future NPUs with thermal emission reactor converters and NPPUs with reactors based on rocket propulsion technology.

And that would be very interesting in the developing world.

Ten reactors that had produced weapons grade plutonium have been shut down.

(c) Endorsement of the IAEA Code of Conduct on the Safety of Research Reactors

Brazil also participates in international initiatives with a view to developing innovative reactor designs, such as INPRO and Generation IV.

And especially the small reactors need to go forward.

In total, at least 23 of the 66 units currently under construction have encountered delays, many of which have lasted for several years. Whether the other projects, all of which have been initiated in the past five years, are on schedule remains to be seen.

But frankly micro reactors which are just now coming on, might serve even better.

If you are going to Jupiter, you have a very high radiation, you know, environment. It's about the same radiation environment close by Jupiter as inside a nuclear reactor.

We take note of the Agency's contributions to a research study on innovative nuclear reactors and fuel cycles conducted within the framework of the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles.

Increasing construction and operation of nuclear reactors in electricity production around the globe indicate that more and more States are pursuing nuclear energy as a component of their energy mix in the new century.

(a) Any nuclear reactor, including reactors installed on vessels, aircraft or space objects for use as an energy source in order to propel such vessels, craft or objects or for any other purpose

Stewart Brand would put a micro nuclear reactor right in the center, probably.

As a consequence, five years after the plant has been decommissioned, fuel remains in the reactors.

The Agency reported last year that 20 of the 31 reactors under construction worldwide were located in Asia and that 19 of the 28 reactors to be connected to the grids were in the Far East and South Asia.

(a) Any nuclear reactor, including reactors installed on vessels, vehicles, aircraft or space objects for use as an energy source in order to propel such vessels, craft or objects or for any other purpose

And they're selling these floating reactors, only 35 megawatts, to developing countries.

Fast neutron reactors have now been in use in industrial facilities for more than 40 years.

We have now embarked on the development of the fast breeder reactor based second stage of our programme, with the start of construction of the 500 MWe prototype fast breeder reactor launched in October last year.

Regarding reactor fuel, the supply exceeds the demand, if plutonium is taken into account.

And with current reactor technology we really don't have very much uranium.

And then finally somebody picked up a microscope and looked at the water that was sitting next to the cores.

One of the ideas brought forward here is that of a sub critical reactor which is driven by an accelerator.
