System safety concept utilization

Tadiran Li/Mn02 (3.0 V), a return to rechargeable Li metal utilizing novel chemical safety concepts. Widespread acceptance has been hampered by memories of earlier rechargeable Li metal systems limitations. 

In addition to updated content of the first edition, the revised second edition of the Basic Guide to System Safety has a more expanded and useful glossary of terms it also contains a new chapter describing the basic concept, utility, and function of the hazard and operability study (HAZOP) and what-if analysis. Both of these analytical techniques have been used quite routinely and successfully in the petrochemical industry for decades. As with all analytical methods and techniques presented in this text, it is suggested that the HAZOP smdy and what-if analysis have definite application to general industry operations as well. 

Simplified operational licensing requirements. The MASLWR concept utilizes natural circulation for primary coolant flow and relies on passive safety systems. This results in a reduced amount of operator training and plant certification required for plant licensing. Due to the small scale of the concept, design certification based on testing is simplified because of the relatively low cost of a full-scale prototype facility. 

SAFETY DESIGN CONCEPT SPECMC TO NUCLEAR HEAT UTILIZATION SYSTEMS... 

The balance-of-plant design (Figure 9.3) utilizes a relatively simple direct cycle power conversion system. The reference design for this concept is a 1700-MWe reactor operating at a pressure of 25 MPa with a reactor outlet temperature between 510°C and 550 C. This reactor can be designed as a fast neutron spectrum or thermal neutron spectrum reactor. The relatively simple design also allows for the incorporation of passive safety features. However, unlike the previously discussed concepts, the lower reactor outlet temperature...
