Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel: An Assessment of Technologies and Challenges
Abstract: Spent fuel discharged from nuclear reactors must necessarily be handled further, whether or not a closed fuel cycle is adopted by a nation. Thus every nuclear facility must have provisions of spent fuel storage to cool it sufficiently and to allow its radioactivity to decrease substantially before reprocessing or before its ultimate disposal. With increasing importance of nuclear power in the days to come, it will become necessary to handle …

Efficient Plant Monitoring and Control using Improved Human Machine Interface with Intelligent Features
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The Human Machine Interface (HMI) plays an important role in Nuclear Power Plant monitoring and control for ensuring plant safety and reliability. A well designed operator interface provides an effective platform for efficient plant monitoring and control under all conditions. The past statistics indicate that most of the accidents that have taken place are due to human error where HMI was …
