The IAEA ussually defines small and medium sized or modular reactors (SMRs) as reactors producing up to 300 MW(e) (small sized or small modular) and reactors producing 300-700 MW(e) (medium sized). There has been increasing interest in SMRs globally owing to their variois benefits, such as flexible power generation options, the wide range of applications, enhanced safety resulting from inherest…

This report presents guidelines to the designers of water cooled power reactors which will minimize the impact of IAEA safeguards on plant operations and ensure efficient and effective acquisition of safeguards data to the mutual benefit of the Member State, the plant operator and the IAEA. These guidelines incorporate the IAEA's experience in establishing and carrying out safeguards at current…
Following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, combustible gas behaviour and related accident management measures have been the subject of increased study and analysis. This has included on measures to limit the fission product release into the environment. This publication reviews the current state of technology regarding combustible gas related safety issues in water coo…
This book provides the basis of simulating a nuclear plant, in understanding the knowledge of how such simulations help in assuring the safety of the plants, thereby protecting the public from accidents. It provides the reader with an in-depth knowledge about modeling the thermal and flow processes in a fast reactor and gives an idea about the different numerical solution methods. The text high…
