Use of Performance Monitoring to Improve Reliability of Emergency Generators Diesel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 1997-12)
Emergency diesel generators are one of the most important contributors to the core damage failure rate of nuclear power plants. Current required testing and maintenance procedures are excessively strict and expensive without ...
Using Risk-Based Regulations for Licensing Nuclear Power Plants: Case Study of the Gas-cooled Fast Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 2005-12)
The strategy adopted for national energy supply is one of the most important policy choice
for the US. Although it has been dismissed in the past decades, nuclear power today has key
assets when facing concerns on energy ...
Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Regulatory Implications of Improved Emergency Diesel Generator Reliability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Advanced Nuclear Power Program, 1998-01)
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) steady progress towards risk-informed
performance-based regulation (RIPBR) prompted the practical application of this
regulatory tool in order to demonstrate its potential benefits. ...
