Containment as the last barrier of defence in depth strategy plays the most important role in
protecting the environment and public from the release of radioactive material. As a result …

One of the main goals of severe accident management strategies is to maintain containment
integrity to prevent radioactive release into the environment. As a result, containment …

Abstract AP1000® Generation III+ reactor bases its safety concept on passive systems,
differently from the previous Generation II reactors. This fact has led the approximations and …

Passive containment cooling systems (PCCSs) have been actively studied to improve the
inherent safety of nuclear power plants. Hered, we present two concepts, open-loop PCCS …

This document explores the role of CFD in nuclear safety studies, with a particular focus on
advancements in Spain and Portugal. The field of nuclear safety has increasingly included …

Historically, the deterministic safety analysis simulations for large dry containments of
operating nuclear power plants have been done with nuclear legacy codes using the …

Hydrogen management is still one of the main nuclear safety topics because of its violent
reaction with oxygen. During a severe accident, hydrogen can be generated and it can be …

Severe accidents research activities in Spain have grown substantially since the Fukushima-
Daiichi accident. Most of these research activities have been conducting by a few …

Both units of the Chinshan plant have been approved for decommissioning. However, fuel
assemblies cannot be discharged from the reactor core because the spent fuel pool (SFP) is …

The Kuosheng plant has two BWR/6 units and unit 1 has started the decommissioning
process. The fuel assemblies are staying inside the reactor vessel due to insufficient space …
