Lessons Learned from Accident in Industrial Radiography

This Safety Report contains the findings of extensive research in terms of the lessons that can be learned from accidents which have occurred in industrial radiography, both in developed and developing countries. The review was carried out by a team of regulatory authorities, manufacturers and safety advisers. The objectives were to draw lessons from the initiating events of the accidents, the …

Boilers, Evaporators and Condensers

This up-to-date reference covers the thermal design, operation and maintenance of the three major components in industrial heating and air conditioning systems including fossil fuel-fired boilers, waste heat boilers and air conditioning evaporators. Among the distinguishing features covered are: the numerous types of components in use and the features and relative merits of each, overviews of t…

The Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems, Second Edition

This chapter presents the design and evaluation of physical protection systems (PPS), which integrates people, procedures, and equipment for the protection of assets or facilities against theft, sabotage, or other malevolent human attacks. The design of an effective PPS requires a methodical approach in which the designer weighs the objectives of the PPS against available resources and then eva…

The True Power of Water: Healing And Discovering Ourselves

In this book reader will learn of the unique properties of water and its ability to improve health and life readers. Readers will see the effect each of us has on water -- not only the water we drink but also the water that makes up 70 percent of the human body and, most importantly, what happens to that water as we interact with each other.

Engineering a Safer World: Systems Thinking Applied to Safety

Engineering has experienced a technological revolution, but the basic engineeringtechniques applied in safety and reliability engineering, created in a simpler, analog world, havechanged very little over the years. In this groundbreaking book, Nancy Leveson proposes a newapproach to safety--more suited to today's complex, sociotechnical, software-intensive world--basedon modern systems thinking…

Recent Advances in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Microzonation

Outstanding advances have been achieved on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Microzonation in the last decade mostly due to the increase in the recorded instrumental in-situ data and large number of case studies conducted in analyzing the observed effects during the recent major earthquakes. During the 15th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering held in Is…

Flood Hazard for Nuclear Power Plants on Coastal and River Sites

This Safety Guide discusses the phenomena, both natural and human induced, that may cause floods or droughts at coastal and river sites, and gives an outline of the methods that can be used for, and the critical factors involved in, the evaluation of such events and of their associated effects. Possible combinations of two or more phenomena that can give rise to flooding at a site are also disc…
