Nuclear Safety Second Edition

Nuclear Safety Second Edition by Gianni Petrangeli. This book aims to cover some general and unusual topics, such as the overall conditions to comply with a “safe” plant, the transboundary consequences of accidents to plants or specific activities, and the consequences of terrorism. This book will satisfy generalists with an ample spectrum of competencies, specialists within the nuclear industry, and all those seeking simple plant modeling and evaluation methods. New to this edition: Up-to-date analysis on recent events within the field, particularly events at Fukushima; Further examples of application on safety analysis; New ways to use the book through calculated measures. Earthquake resistance — Tornado resistance — Resistance to external impact — Nuclear safety criteria — Nuclear safety research — Operating experience — Underground location of nuclear power plants— Radioactive waste — Fusion safety — Safety of specific plants and of other activities — Nuclear facilities on satellites these topics are briefly discussed in this book.
