Despite the largely successful precautions taken to avoid nuclear reactor accidents, the record is not perfect. We list here the more important known reactor accidents, excluding accidents in submarine reactors and possible accidents in the former USSR and Soviet Bloc countries, other than the ...
10.10 Nuclear reactor safety The Fukushima nuclear reactor accident in Japan emphasized the need for real time monitoring of fission products [160] to get information on the situation inside the containment in the case of severe accidents. In order to improve the safety of nuclear plants and minim...

An analysis is made of the accident and estimates are made of the accident probabilities which are found to be of the order of 10per ship reactor years. It if finally pointed out that the consequences of nuclear ship accidents are fairly local and does in no way not approach the magnitude...
The little reactor that could? As the United States and other nations consider their next steps in nuclear energy, a new movement to support small modular reactors is coming to the forefront. But how are we to envision these technologies and their role i
With nuclear submarines, accidents can happen; they drown and explode (Section 44.3.1). During the years of the Cold War, the USSR lost four nuclear submarines. All of them were part of the Northern Fleet of the Soviet Navy. In Russia, besides nuclear reactors for power facilities of vario...
As discussed, hydrogen has a major role in the progress of the water-cooled nuclear reactor accidents. It can make a nuclear disaster that seriously impacts the public health, economy, nuclear reactor industry, agriculture, politics, and even the roadmap of the energy demand worldwide. The most...
