    ONE STOP MONITORING SOLUTIONS | HYDROLOGY | GEOTECHNICAL | STRUCTURAL | GEODECTIC APPLICATION NOTE ONLINE MONITORING OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS 1 INTRODUCTION Geotechnical and geodetic monitoring is an integral part for ensuring that nuclear safety-related facilities meet design objectives. Due to the highly regulated environment of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), an acceptable instrumentation plan has to be developed for monitoring the performance of foundations, excavation support systems, containment, power plant and other facilities at the site. The instrumentation and monitoring of these critical structures are performed during construction and over the life of the facility. This application note has been developed mainly for India where a large number of nuclear power plants are envisaged to be set-up by NPCIL (PHWR 700) with indigenous technology and in association with the Russians (VVER 1000), Americans (AP 1000) and French (EPR 1650). Encardio-rite, in association with SITES, France is best placed anywhere in the World to provide a comprehensive total solution with leading technology for the safety Instrumentation & Monitoring of Nuclear Power Plants. SITES France, a partner of Encardio-rite through an agreement, is a leading Organization in the World in Structural Health Monitoring of Nuclear Power Plants Encardio-rite well proven digital sensors and automatic dataloggers provide comprehensive monitoring through an Advanced Data Management System which can be installed in a control room with use of minimal cables. The Data Management System (Drishti from Encardio-rite and Simon-e from SITES) have powerful tools for retrieving data from automatic data loggers, archiving the data in a SQL database, performing the required calculations on the data and presenting the processed data in tabular and most suitable graphical forms for easy interpretation of the logged data and generating alarm messages.

    Progress in Nuclear Energy 105 (2018) 83–98 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Progress in Nuclear Energy journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/pnucene Technology perspectives from 1950 to 2100 and policy implications for the T global nuclear power industry Victor Nian Energy Studies Institute, National University of Singapore, Singapore ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: There have been two completed phases of developments in nuclear reactor technologies. The first phase is the Nuclear industry trends demonstration of exploratory Generation I reactors. The second phase is the rapid scale-up of Generation II Nuclear energy policy reactors in North America and Western Europe followed by East Asia. We are in the third phase, which is the ff Technology di usion construction of evolutionary Generation III/III+ reactors. Driven by the need for safer and more affordable New user state nuclear reactors post-Fukushima, the nuclear industry has, in parallel, entered the fourth phase, which is the International cooperation development of innovative Generation IV reactors. Through a comprehensive review of the historical reactor Advanced reactor development technology developments in major nuclear states, namely, USA, Russia, France, Japan, South Korea, and China, this study presents a projection on the future potentials of advanced reactor technologies, with particular focus on pressurized water reactors, high temperature reactors, and fast reactors, by 2100. The projected potentials provide alternative scenarios to develop insights that complement the established technology roadmaps. Findings suggest that there is no clear winner among these technologies, but fast reactors could demonstrate a new and important decision factor for emerging markets. Findings also suggest small modular reactors, espe- cially those belonging to Generation IV, as a transitional technology for developing domestic market and in- digenous technology competence for emerging nuclear states.

  • Safety, Safeguards and Security in Indian Civil Nuclear Facilities
    NSSPI-12-010 SAFETY, SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY IN INDIAN CIVIL NUCLEAR FACILITIES Ankush Batra* and Paul Nelson April 5, 2012 * Visiting Scholar from the School of Nuclear Energy, Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. Currently affiliated with PM-Dimensions Pvt. Ltd. Comments, criticisms, discussion, questions and suggestions regarding this report are welcome. Respondents are kindly requested to provide same in the form of electronic mail addressed to [email protected]. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There have recently been many calls, especially from within the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for states interested in civil nuclear energy programs not only to focus upon the “3Ss” of safety, safeguards and security, but to exploit commonalities between these important concerns in order to make this focus practically realizable. Much of the emphasis upon the 3Ss has occurred within the context of states having or considering developing new civil nuclear programs. The study described in this report considers the issue of integrating the 3Ss for the unique case of India, as a state that has long had a civil nuclear energy program, but which has only recently become well integrated within the international market for nuclear materials and technology. This study begins with a review of calls for achieving synergies between the 3Ss, as arising from the IAEA and elsewhere, along with reasons for India to be interested in such synergies. India plans sharp expansion of its domestic nuclear-power industry, based upon imports of uranium enabled by its 2008 agreement with the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and has an announced intent to export some of its considerably developed pressurized heavy-water reactor technology.

  • Advanced Large Water Cooled Reactors
    Advanced Large Water Cooled Reactors A Supplement to: IAEA Advanced Reactors Information System (ARIS) 2020 Edition 2 ADVANCED LARGE WATER COOLED REACTORS 2020 Edition A Supplement to: IAEA Advanced Reactors Information System (ARIS) PREFACE Nuclear power, as a clean, reliable and affordable energy source plays an important role in the national and global energy mix. Nuclear power can make a vital contribution to meeting climate change targets while delivering the increasingly large quantities of electricity needed for global economic development. At a high-level UN side event at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Madrid in December 2019, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi stated that: “Nuclear power provides around one-third of the world’s low-carbon electricity and already plays a significant role in mitigating climate change. Many of our 171 Member States believe that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve sustainable development and meet global climate goals without significant use of nuclear energy.” Member States considering or planning to build their first nuclear power plant (NPP) and those with notions to expand their existing nuclear power programmes are interested in having ready access to the most up-to- date information about all available nuclear power reactor designs that are deployable now or in the near future, as well as important development trends. Fulfilling its mission in the IAEA Statute Article III.A.3: “To foster the exchange of scientific and technical information on peaceful uses of atomic energy”, the IAEA has regularly issued publications on the status of technology developments in nuclear power reactors.

  • Evaluation of a Business Case for Safeguards by Design in Nuclear Power Reactors
    PNNL-22102 Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 Evaluation of a Business Case for Safeguards by Design in Nuclear Power Reactors TW Wood AM Seward VA Lewis ET Gitau MD Zentner December 2012 PNNL-22102 Evaluation of a Business Case for Safeguards by Design in Nuclear Power Reactors TW Wood AM Seward VA Lewis ET Gitau MD Zentner December 2012 Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, Washington 99352 Executive Summary Safeguards by Design (SbD) is a well-known paradigm for consideration and incorporation of safeguards approaches and associated design features early in the nuclear facility development process. This paradigm has been developed as part of the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI), and has been accepted as beneficial in many discussions and papers on NGSI or specific technologies under development within NGSI. The Office of Nuclear Safeguards and Security funded the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to examine the business case justification of SbD for nuclear power reactors. Ultimately, the implementation of SbD will rely on the designers of nuclear facilities. Therefore, it is important to assess the incentives which will lead designers to adopt SbD as a standard practice for nuclear facility design. This report details the extent to which designers will have compelling economic incentives to adopt SbD. Safeguards implementation costs are typically a very small fraction of total reactor costs, and thus provide little real economic incentive for SbD through lowered costs. Applying an economic model to a standard reactor design and construction sequence shows that high costs would result from delay in reactor startup due to safeguards implementation.
