In this research, an Integrated Risk-Informed Design (I-RID) methodological framework is
developed for generating and evaluating design options for Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) …

Standardizing advanced nuclear reactors is a pathway to substantially reducing their
overnight capital cost and achieving parity with other power sources, including renewables …

Nuclear energy has a key role to play in global decarbonization. Impediments to the
widespread deployment of reactors are their projected high capital cost and levelized cost of …

Seismic isolation of nuclear power plants is in its infancy, with only a small number of
applications worldwide. This outcome is due in part to the construction of only a small …

This research attempts to investigate the efficacy of different passive vibration control
systems, from both technical and economic points of view, to mitigate the lifetime seismic risk …

A seismic isolation system installed in a nuclear power plant will respond to the load caused
by an earthquake. As a result, a larger displacement may occur in the presence of the …

Seismic isolation can mitigate earthquake demands on safety-class equipment and is being
considered for application to some advanced nuclear reactors. For tall, slender vessels that …

Owing to the increasing scarcity of high-quality sites, the seismic analysis of base-isolated
nuclear power plants (NPPs) under complex non-lithology sites has gained important …

An innovative seismic isolation solution for designers of safety‐class equipment in advanced
nuclear power plants is introduced. The test specimen was a tall, slender, carbon steel …
