Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the operator of the problematic Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, is determined to discharge contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear accident into the Pacific Ocean, Japan's state broadcaster NHK reported Friday. TEPCO plans to begin a g...
power plant -- how to remove the nuclear residue from the meltdown. Japan's International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning estimated that the total weight of nuclear waste mix from melted fuel rods and other materials in pressure vessels that melted during the accident could be 880 ...
This book covers seismic probabilistic risk assessment (S-PRA) and related studies which have become more important to increase the safety of nuclear facilities against earthquakes and tsunamis in the face of the many uncertainties after the Fukushima accident. The topics are (1) Active faults and...
