Since nuclear power plants are only shut down for refueling about every two years, they provide an around-the-clock “baseload” supply of power. In nuclear fission, uranium atoms are split into lighter elements. Uranium is a radioactive metal that is extracted from mines, mainly in ...
power plantsproductionA survey of nuclear power plants in operation and under construction, especialIy the reactors, is given and the trends of development are shown. Only nuclear power plants with 5 Mw(e) or more, which serve solely or predominantly for the production of electric power, were ...
In Japan, the safety of nuclear power plants (NPP) has been secured by performing a time-based maintenance. However recently, NPPs were taking into consideration a new procedure using a condition-based maintenance, aiming to improve both... T Asai,Y Ikuno,M Akiba,... - 《Investigative Opht...

A nuclear reactor that produces as well as consumes fissionable material, especially one that produces more fissionable...
This includes new plants, as well as the upgrade of existing facilities. The construction and planning of new nuclear power reactors is essential to the safety of their operation. Methodical planning in plant design, materials, and labor ensures the success of the nuclear project. Nevertheless, ...
Global interest in small and medium-sized or modular reactors has been increasing due to their ability to meet the need for flexible power generation for a wider range of users and applications and replace aging fossil fuel-fired power plants, according to the International Atomic Energy...
Nuclear plants could become smaller, simpler and easier to build in the future, potentially revolutionizing a power source that is increasingly viewed as critical to the transition away from fossil fuels. New designs called small modular reactors, or SMR in shorthand, promise to speed deployment of...
