Steel-reinforced concrete


What is India doing about safety aspects of nuclear reactors?

This para describes the safety regulation in India: The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) was formed in 1983 and comes under the AEC but is independent of DAE. It is responsible for the regulation and licensing of all nuclear facilities, and their safety and carries authority conferred by the Atomic Energy Act for radiation safety and by the Factories Act for industrial safety in nuclear plants. See link below for the full article on India, the above is contained in it.


Why is nuclear energy illegal?

The danger arises from the very active fission products that are formed by fission of U235 and Pu 239. These are contained in the fuel, provided the zircaloy sheath is intact and leakproof, and reactor safety operational limits and procedures, as well as all the safety design features like secondary containment, are meant to keep them contained. The PWR and BWR have had very good safety records, and there is no need for concern, but it is essential to take safety seriously when running a nuclear plant.

What do you mean by radiation damping give the elementary theory of dispersion?

Radiation damping in relation to dispersion just means that radiation will loose its strength when it is dispersed in a liquid cooling bath which is used as a safety measure in nuclear energy production.


Why is a nuclear reactor enclosed in concrete?

For shielding against radiation and to provide more safety barrier against any unexpected emergency conditions.


What is radiation exposure safety?

Radiation exposure safety is the process of preventing or minimizing exposure to radiation, and tracking what does occur.


Who is responsible for training company personnel on radiation safety?

Usually the Radiation Safety Officer

Who are the nuclear engineers?

Nuclear engineers are those engineers who deal with the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear reactor physics and nuclear heat transport. Nuclear engineering includes the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components- specifically, nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants, and/or nuclear weapons, the study of nuclear fusion, medical and other applications of ionizing radiation, radiation safety, heat/thermodynamics transport, nuclear fuel and/or other related (e.g., waste disposal) technology, nuclear proliferation, and radioactive waste management.


When was Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission created?

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission was created in 2000.
