Nuclear reactor systems

Nuclear Radiation Effects. Components of a nuclear reactor system that require lubrication include control-rod drives, coolant circulating pumps or compressors, motor-operated valves, and fuel handling devices, and, of course, are exposed to varying amounts of ionising (14).

In a coupled nuclear hydrogen production system, a transient is initiated on either the nuclear reactor side or the chemical side of the plant. There are many potential transients that occur in a nuclear reactor system. Some examples are (Reitsma 2004) ...

These challenges are the most significant driving forces behind the LLNL proposed program for development of a new, small nuclear reactor system. 

Human Factors Engineering ( HIE). HFE shall be considered per DOE 5480.23 in the design of nuclear reactors or nuclear reactor systems that have a human interface for operating or maintenance. The formality and the extent of the HFE program shall be graded on the basis of the extent of the human interaction, the overall design effort, and the risk associated with human performance... 

Nuclear reactor system of this concept in certain degree has similar design compared to the established and successftil reactor systems now in operation so the material used for the same function and purpose is not the same. 

The nuclear reactor system, thanks to its reliability and to its inherent safety characteristics, may be installed in proximity of industrial and inhabited centres, while the design criterion of easy operation that characterises its circuits and its auxiliary systems extends its potential use to non-industrialised geographic areas, for which the needs for desalination is well known. 

Chapter 24 looks at some of the economic evaluations that can be applied to nuclear reactor systems. The calculations of costs throughout the fuel cycle and the cost of construction of the nuclear plant determine what the cost of the generated electricity will be. Chapter 25 discusses radiation protection, which is important to persons working with radioactive materials in any setting and also important to the safety of the general public. A simple form of radiation protection is sun block to protect the skin from natural solar radiation, or a lead apron by a dental technician to protect a person while X-rays are being taken. 

The Pb-Bi alloy system exhibits behavior of an eutectic between an hep intermetaUic fi phase and the Bi terminal phase at 56.5 wt% Bi and 125 °C. Both Pb and Bi have low cross sections for neutron absorption such that these alloys are attractive in heat transfer applications in nuclear reactor systems [1.299].
