tornadoThe development of extreme load design criteria both as to rate and depth within any national jurisdiction as applied to nuclear power plant design is a function of several factors. The prime factor is the number of nuclear power plant facilities which are operating, under construction or ...
In addition, the UFSAR indicates that certain equipment attached to the roof of the building has been anchored to resist tornado wind loads. Thus, the SBO diesel generator building is within the scope of license renewal. December 2010 2.2-5 NUREG-1800, Rev. 2 2.3 SCOPING AND SCREENING ...
Since 1965, when extreme load requirements began to be considered explicitly in nuclear power plant design, there has been a gradual divergence in requirements imposed by national regulatory agencies. However, nuclear plant safety is an international problem because of the potential international effects...
(An even larger 1 MT blast, but 5 miles away, would give you about 20 seconds.) Like surviving an imminent tornado, utilizing those essential seconds after the initial flash to'duck & cover'could be the difference between life & death for many. Both the overpressure in the blast shock ...
The warm, moist plumes of steam generated by nuclear power plants—as well as any factory that generates large amounts of steam exhaust—can provide the moisture and instability needed to generate snow showers downwind from the plant. The snow itself is harmless, of...
You've seen these recent tornado outbreaks in the [US] south—170 tornadoes touching within a few hours over six states. What will happen to these mega-wind farms in Oklahoma or Texas when they'll be touched by mega-tornadoes? That's a rare event, but it happens again and again. ...
