During events

Section III Data Attachments. This third and final section captures any documents that lend support to the validation effort for example, a report that summarizes why a like-for-like substitution of a crucial piece of equipment occurred during event 2. 

Based on the authors experience, membrane fracture frequently occurs during events when membrane is dried out the in-plane hygrothermal stress is a critical driving force in membrane mechanical failure. The in-plane hygrothermal stress can be lowered by reducing the swelling/shrinkage ratio of the membrane, i.e., the dimensional instability of the membrane. 

F It is all too easy. The LD 50 of alcohol in humans is about equal to drinking a fifth (25r3 oz) of whiskey in an hour. This is not too hard to do, and it has been done with dire consequences during events such as fraternity hazings. 

As Spark retard is employed to raise the temperature, the concentrations of oxygen and the three legislated exhaust emission gases HC (hydrocarbons), CO (carbon monoxide), and NOx (Oxides of nitrogen) which get to the catalyst face at stoich, are reduced. The HC concentration during events 2 and 3 of the cycle is also reduced.

In cold shutdown mode the temperature of the RPV wall can be below brittle fracture temperature. At this stage the RPV is especially vulnerable to brittle fracture if it is pressurised. Also, PTS is more likely to occur at other zero or low reactor power modes then at full power operation because the cooling of the primary circuit and the RPV in leak and transient situations might be larger than during events with full reactor power as the initial condition. 

The makeup capability of this system should be sufficient to provide adequate cooling during events involving RCS inventory loss from pressure boundary leakages up to and including smalI pipe ruptures. 

In addition to the barriers and protection layers, the reactor is also designed with safety system. The three primary objectives of nuclear safety systems are (1) shut down the reactor, (2) maintain it in a shutdown condition, and (3) prevent the release of radioactive material during events and accidents. These objectives are accomplished using a variety of equipment, which are part of different systems, of which each performs specific functions. The safety systems are provided for each NPP and are explained below. 

About 80% of the energy produced in the brain is consumed by neurons, which constitute only 10% of all brain cells. Such large amounts of energy are indispensable for the maintenance and restoration of neuronal plasma membrane potentials (of several Hz frequency) during events linked to neurotransmission.

Inappropriate defeat or bypass of ESFs during events is of interest because the operator may not be able to recover from such events in complex, stressful situations. Rapid recovery from ESF defeats may be necessary in order to prevent serious degradation of plant conditions that could lead to serious safety...
