Approaches to Operating Nuclear Power Plants to Mitigate Production Losses Caused by Climate Change and Environmental Hazards
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
393 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Climate change is reshaping the environmental context in which nuclear power plants operate. Nuclear power plants are built with robust safety and design margins informed by historical meteorological and hydrological data, as well as by lessons learned from past events. Weather related and environmental events may trigger protective actions, reducing output and in some cases necessitating shutdowns, though the resulting global production losses have generally remained modest. With increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, along with rising average temperatures, shifting water availability and other environmental hazards, the need for adaptation becomes clearer to operating organizations. This publication offers a practical, forward-looking framework for the climate adaptation of production related assets at nuclear power plants, grounded in real world experience and informed by international references. Potential adaptation measures include engineering upgrades, operational improvements and organizational strategies to reduce vulnerability, enhance response capabilities and build resilience. The publication is intended for operating organizations and teams responsible for asset performance, design changes, plant operation, and climate adaptation.

Specific Infrastructure Considerations for Nuclear Energy Applications Beyond Electricity
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
426 kr
Kommande
Nuclear energy provides a reliable and abundant source of clean and dispatchable power. Combined with electricity generation the use of nuclear heat for applications such as industrial processes, district heating, desalination and hydrogen production can enable efficiency gains and support the decarbonization of industrial and residential sectors. As nations seek energy security and carbon neutrality, these applications are being increasingly considered by Member States to help decarbonize high-energy-consuming and hard-to-abate sectors. The IAEA’s Milestones approach provides guidance on the infrastructure and ensuing related activities which are needed to successfully deploy nuclear programmes. Compared to conventional nuclear projects intended for sole power generation, however, nuclear projects for applications beyond electricity may present greater complexity and new challenges. This publication complements the guidance laid out in the milestones approach, providing further support to Member States interested in the planning, evaluation and deployment of projects for beyond electricity applications.

Implementation Strategies and Tools for Condition Based Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
186 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This publication was developed to collect and analyse proven maintenance optimization methods and techniques (engineering and organizational) in Member States. Appendices to this publication consist of selected papers on maintenance optimization presented during the preparation of this publication. A systematic evaluation approach to establishing what maintenance tasks are to be performed on which systems, structures or components, and at what periodicity, can lead to optimization of the use of resources. This approach can be used in establishing a preventive maintenance programme and for optimization of the ongoing maintenance programme. The process seeks to make the best use of condition based maintenance, where unnecessarily costly maintenance actions and associated maintenance error induced failures can be avoided. If a probabilistic risk assessment has been performed, its result can be used to help define the important systems and components. This optimization process can lead to the achievement of maintenance targets concerning safety, reliability and cost.

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is the technique most widely used in research reactors worldwide. Six decades of experience in NAA has resulted in commonly applied analytical protocols, with measurements at about two to seven days and at three weeks after neutron irradiation. NAA with short half-life radionuclides enables an analysis turnaround time of one working day in principle. It also enables the detection of many important elements that cannot otherwise be measured with NAA based on longer half-lives. It may therefore provide competitive and, in some cases, even unique opportunities for an NAA facility. This opportunity is not fully seized by NAA laboratories due to the technical and analytical difficulties involved. This publication addresses all aspects of the implementation and optimization of NAA with short half-life radionuclides.
