Essays on Nuclear Power

Development of new computational approaches to radiation transport equation in the nuclear engineering application Tair Askar, 1st year PhD student, Nazarbayev University, KazakhstanAbstract Today the radiation plays a crucial role in a wide range of critically-important phenomena. Boltzmann transport equation describes its behavior, which, however,…

After revelation of National Council of Resistance of Iran about Iran’s nuclear activities, the IAEA took the steps on assessing the verification of such claims. Afterwards, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohammad El-Baradei had a trip to Iran in order…

With 450 power plants in operation and producing over 14% of the electricity used worldwide. Needless to say, nuclear energy is one of the most frequently used energy on Earth. Nuclear energy, defined as the energy that is released during the process of nuclear reaction,…

Bharat a rapidly developing country on the global front. Preforming a nuclear Mission is most important to us, show India’s strength among top countries in the world. But many countries are trying to stop India to do this since many years. They are coming out…

Boiling water nuclear reactor cores are major sources of revenue for power producing utilities. The utility is able to maximize the amount of energy output from the nuclear reactor while minimizing the cost of the reactor operation then the utility will realize an increase in…

Nuclear energy is the energy that is released through the splitting of atoms.1Atom is derived from the Greek word atomos, which means invisible. During the 1900s, scientists had discovered that the atom held great quantities of energy. In 1934, Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi demonstrated…

Should Madagascar have its own nuclear power plant to generate its electricity? Compared to other sources of energy, nuclear power can produce enormous amounts of energy while causing minimal harm to the environment. This energy can then be used to produce electricity for a large…

In Medieval Europe, small regional bands of settlers constituted the most basic political entity as Feudalism flourished. Several centuries later, the Peace of Westphalia recognized the nation-state as the heart of political organizations and sovereignty. As social, political, economic, and even cultural norms extend beyond…

The results of the internal event analysis (PRA level 1) for the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant (LVNPP), which is a typical BWR, shows that the SLC plays an important role in the estimation of the total CDF (Huerta and Nú˜nez, 1994). The study was…
