Civil nuclear industry

The Office for Civil Nuclear Security (OCNS) is the security regulator for the UK s civil nuclear industry. It s role is to ensure that the vendor s site conceptual security plan meets UK standards and requirements. 

The civil nuclear industry, which wishes to profit from the so-called nuclear renaissance, and those who would promote the substitution of nuclear power for the declining attractions of the hydrocarbon-based economy have a duty to ensure that the separation of the benefits to civil society of civil nuclear power from the temptations of nuclear arms are maintained. Systems of control are not impossible to devise and are significantly easier to monitor than reductions in CO2 emissions through...

These are two different social and cultural positions, but the same interest is to avoid individual responsibility for the eventual health consequences of professional exposure and to see that his records are kept for institutional treatments, that is, to be sure they remain a collective project of civilization which specifices his presence in the radioactive zone considering that it was necessary to be there if you wanted to order people around and if you wanted to show them how to work properly. For him, to work was not only to actively participate in the production process it was -above all - to respect the rules as they alone can guarantee safety. He indicated that, the particular nature of the nuclear industry in comparison to metallurgy lies in the safety rules. The culture of the nuclear industry is a safety culture. It is necessary that the employees acquire this safety culture. ... 

Probabilistic risk assessment is an effective analysis approach that systematically estimates the occurrence frequency of an accident sequence. It has been used in nuclear industry since 1970 s (Keller Modarres 2005) and also widely adopted in space industry (Stamatelatos 2002) and civil engineering (Nyvlt etal. 2011).

Scott Ermeti, vice president of international business for Pelican Products, Inc., will join U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke as one of 24 U.S. compaities on a business development mission to India. The delegation will make stops in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore to explore export opportunities in India s expanding industrial sectors of civil-nuclear trade, defense and security, civil aviation, and iirforma-tion and communication technologies. 

The renewal of theories on natural decision-making [37, 38] has provided a number of arguments for the concept of adequacy. Those working in this area have gathered observational data from almost aU high-risk industries (civil aviation, public transport, the nuclear industry, the chemical industry, firefighting, armed... 

In fact there is a bias towards specific cases resulting from the model used in civil aviation and in the nuclear industry, characterised by its powerful global, regional and national supervisory bodies (ICAO, EASA, National Aviation Authorities,... 

Nuclear Energy Agency, NISA, IAEA etc.), the reality of total, permanent external surveillance (air traffic control and black boxes). In brief, these are relatively specific systems in which reporting incidents does not leave mnch of a margin for professionals since they will be seen and read by the supervisors in any case if they cause the slightest consequences. In this sense, the model of civil aviation or the nuclear industry is actually an exemplary model of voluntary reporting. In fact the density of reporting is correlated with the safety of individual airlines in civil aviation, since it expresses a function which is absolutely essential in that environment. 

The nuclear industry, for example, has a very low social tolerance of voluntary exposure to risk. The same is true in civil aviation, so here the trade-offs tend to be made in favour of safety initiatives, while targeting full and centralised coherence (and working to prevent isolated local actions). The same has not been true (at least until recently) in international finance, medicine, fishing and motoring, to cite just a few examples in these cases, senior management—or the institution in the broad sense—gives priority to exposure to risk and safety activities are mostly conducted at the local level, and it is accepted that they are local and limited in scope.

Though the data given in Table 14.2 are for Ceramicrete matrix composites, similar properties in other CBPC matrix composites are possible with different extenders. Therefore, overall CBPC matrix composites are versatile materials and have the potential for varied applications as structural and nuclear materials, as well as civil engineering applications in general. In this chapter, we discuss some common CBPC matrix composites and their applications in the construction industry. Additional applications are presented in subsequent chapters.
