Acknowledgements This dissertation would not be possible were it not for the invaluable support I have received throughout my journey as an undergraduate at Delhi University in India, a graduate student at the University of Warwick in England, and my pursuit of a doctorate at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. During my time at Delhi University, Ramu Manivannan was an amazing mentor who taught me the value of making a difference in both academia and the real world. My greatest debt is to Hank Jenkins-Smith and Carol Silva at the University of Oklahoma, whose encouragement, guidance, and intellectual advice has made this journey possible. I am deeply grateful for their unending support; this dissertation would not exist without them.

  • Nuclear Glossary 2007-06
    Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Technik und Umwelt GLOSSARY OF NUCLEAR TERMS Winfried Koelzer © Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, Karlsruhe, April 2001 Postfach 3640 · 76021 Karlsruhe, Germany Original title: Lexikon zur Kernenergie, ISBN 3-923704-32-1 Translation by Informationskreis KernEnergie The reproduction of trade names, identifications, etc. in this glossary does not justify the assumption that such names may be considered free in the sense- of the laws regulating the protection of trade marks and brands and that therefore they may be used by everyone. No guarantee is given for the correctness of numerical data. Pictures by: Argonne National Lab., Argonne Aulis-Verlag Deubner & Co., Cologne Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe Informationskreis Kernenergie, Bonn A Absorbed dose The absorbed dose D is the quotient of the average energy transferred to the matter in a volume element by ionizing radiation and the mass of the matter in this volume element: _ d ε D = . dm The unit of the absorbed dose is joule divided by kilogram (J·kg-1) and its special unit name is gray (Gy). The former unit name was rad (symbol: rd or rad).1 Gy = 100 rd; 1 rd = 1/100 Gy. Absorbed dose rate Quotient of absorbed dose per unit of time. Unit: Gy/h. Absorber Any material "stopping" ionizing radiation. Alpha radiation can already be totally absorbed by a sheet of paper; beta radiation is absorbed by a few centimetres of plastic material or 1 cm of aluminium. Materials with a high →atomic number and high density are used for gamma radiation absorbers (lead, steel, concrete, partially with special additions). Neutron absorbers such as boron, hafnium and cadmium are used in control rods for reactors.

    [EHNUR WP 4] ADVANCED NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CONCEPTS AND TIMETABLES FOR THEIR COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT Steven C. Sholly1 VIENNA, June 2013 1 Institute of Safety/Security and Risk Sciences, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Copyright Vienna, June 2013 Media owner and editor: University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna, Department of Water, Atmosphere and Environment, Institute of Safety and Risk Sciences, Borkowskigasse 4, 1190 Wien, Austria URL: http://www.risk.boku.ac.at ReportWP4 – Advanced Nuclear Power Plant Concepts and Timetables EHNUR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Most currently operating nuclear power plants are Generation II reactors (except for a few remaining Generation I units and a few Generation III units). Generation III and Generation III+ nuclear power plant concepts are widely recognized to be significant improvements over Generation II reactor designs. Both Generation III designs (standardized designs safer than Generation II) and Generation III+ designs (standardized designs safer than Generation II and with the expectation of greater economy of scale) are available for immediate deployment. The absolute minimum schedule for a Generation III or III+ nuclear power plant project is 10 years from feasibility study to completion of startup testing. Such a schedule is only achievable by: (a) an experienced utility, (b) with the reactor sited at an existing nuclear power plant site, and (c) with a design for which first-of-a-kind engineering (FOAKE) is complete. Under other circumstances (e.g. a utility new to nuclear generation, a greenfield site, a utility in a country without significant nuclear infrastructure, a nuclear power plant design where FOAKE has not yet been accomplished), the schedule would extend from fifteen to seventeen years and perhaps more.
