Shutdown policy development

Develop the shutdown policies The outage management team should also establish clear, concise guidelines that will be used to plan and manage the shutdown. These criteria should include ... 

Scoping study on plant-shutdown PSA has been completed and dominant core damage sequences have been identified. A detailed shutdown PSA is underway. Preliminary application of PSA to large LMFBR is underway to provide basic information in developing safety design and evaluation policy. The fifteen initiating event categories were identified and the associated event trees were developed. The reactor... 

Trends in short- and lOTiger-term directions for key fuel cell components including electrocatalysts/supports, membranes, and bipolar plates have been elaborated in this section improvement of the performance and durability of these components will directly impact the entire automotive fuel cell system requirements, complexity, and cost. Durable catalysts with enhanced ORR activity, durable membranes that perform at very low humidity and durable bipolar plates that have low contact resistance will not only increase the power density and cost of the fuel cell stack but also simplify and lower/eliminate system component costs of the air compressor, humidification systems, recycle pumps, radiator, start-up/shutdown and freeze-start-related components, etc. A combination of advances in all the fuel cell components discussed above, system simplification, governmental policies that are sensitive to sustainable clean energy, and development of a hydrogen infrastructure will enable achieving the projected technical and cost targets needed for automotive fuel cell commercialization.
