Nuclear reactors

In fact, I design nuclear reactors.

In response to concerns about the security of research reactors, IAEA developed an integrated plan for enhancing the security of research reactors.

And especially the small reactors need to go forward.

Moreover, four reactors were de commissioned during 2009, and a larger number of reactors in Japan and Germany are not in use, owing to various technical stoppages. At least one hundred older and smaller reactors will most likely be closed over the next 10 15 years.

Babcock Wilcox that make nuclear reactors, here's an integral fast reactor.

IAEA has published more than 100 documents (standards and guidance) on the safety of reactors in land based nuclear power plants and also for research reactors in its Safety Series.

And they're selling these floating reactors, only 35 megawatts, to developing countries.

Ten reactors that had produced weapons grade plutonium have been shut down.

lasers, portable X Rays, shielding for nuclear reactors, compact discs, hybrid vehicle motors,

We take note of the Agency's contributions to a research study on innovative nuclear reactors and fuel cycles conducted within the framework of the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles.

But frankly micro reactors which are just now coming on, might serve even better.

Plutonium utilization in ageing Russian reactors could lead to proliferation from civil reactor sites.

Experiments with plutonium based fast breeder reactors in France and Japan have been expensive failures.

As a consequence, five years after the plant has been decommissioned, fuel remains in the reactors.

Fast neutron reactors have now been in use in industrial facilities for more than 40 years.

The Agency reported last year that 20 of the 31 reactors under construction worldwide were located in Asia and that 19 of the 28 reactors to be connected to the grids were in the Far East and South Asia.

Memorandum B, as clarified since 1974 (see paras. 16 and 17 below), contains plants, equipment and, as appropriate, material in the following categories nuclear reactors, non nuclear materials for reactors, reprocessing, fuel fabrication, uranium enrichment, heavy water production, and conversion.

The red line is what is done in most nuclear reactors. It's called the open fuel cycle.

Our experts are involved actively in the Agency's International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO).

Massive quantities of radioactive isotopes were regularly released into the air and water by nuclear reactors, causing genetic disease.

The agreement paves the way for American exports of nuclear technologies and materials for use in India s civilian nuclear program. In return, India has pledged to open 14 of its 22 existing and planned nuclear power reactors, as well as all future civil reactors, to international inspection.

And regardless of whether it's nuclear reactors or metamaterials or whale sex, the common or lowest common denominator is me.

The EU is pleased to note the approval of the IAEA's Code of Conduct on the Safety of Research Reactors.

The Russians, who started this, are building floating reactors, for their new passage, where the ice is melting, north of Russia.

We note with interest that 60 per cent of all new nuclear power reactors are being built in the developing world.

The pace of the construction of those reactors could be further increased if most States were not subjected to undue restrictions.

Plutonium produced at the remaining three reactors which generate heat and electricity has not been used for nuclear weapons since 1994.

New reactors being built today incorporate significantly enhanced safety features, both active and passive, compared to the Fukushima generation of reactors. But, in order to regain and maintain public confidence, governments, regulators, and operators must be transparent about the benefits and risks of nuclear power and honest when things go wrong.

Under the Agreed Framework, North Korea is to freeze, among other things, the two proliferation prone reactors under construction with a capacity of 50 megawatts and 200 megawatts, respectively. And yet only the empty construction sites are frozen, while the key components manufactured for the reactors have not been accounted for.

Well the good news is that the developing world, but frankly, the whole world, is busy building, and starting to build, nuclear reactors.

True, a few countries Belgium, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, with Peru the only non European country to join the trend formally declared their intention to phase out or avoid nuclear energy. These decisions affect a total of 26 reactors, while 61 reactors are under construction around the world, with another 156 projected and 343 under official consideration.

As global warming brings about a rise in average temperatures and ocean levels, inland reactors will increasingly contribute to, and be affected by, water shortages. During the record breaking 2003 heat wave in France, operations at 17 commercial nuclear reactors had to be scaled back or stopped because of rapidly rising temperatures in rivers and lake.

Due to the transparency policy adhered to by the Lithuanian Government, international experts know everything about the plant apos s two reactors. As a result, the safety analysis report completed last year by the international consortium of experts became the first comprehensive document on safety for the light boiling water cooled graphite moderated pressure tube (RBMK) reactors.

And the fact is, we're going to use the nuclear waste we have for fuel in the fourth generation of reactors that are coming along.

And they published this book in 1937, where they actually began to think about, what could you do in bio reactors to grow whole organs?

I think of most interest to a TED audience would be the new generation of reactors that are very small, down around 10 to 125 megawatts.

Consequently, Bulgaria does not possess information on either the safety of satellites with on board nuclear reactors or on collisions of such satellites with space debris.

The August 2003 blackout in the northeastern US revealed that more than a dozen nuclear reactors in the US and Canada were not properly maintaining backup diesel generators. In Ontario during the blackout, reactors de signed to unlink from the grid automatically and remain in standby mode instead went into full shutdown, with only two of twelve reac tors behaving as expected.

Uruguay has no nuclear reactors of any kind, hence there is no possibility of diversion or theft of nuclear fuel for subsequent use in producing nuclear devices.

Furthermore, in response to an Agency initiative, 13 out of 17 countries had confirmed their decision not to use highly enriched fuel in their reactors in future.

Collisions with space debris had been considered for reactors launched in the period 1970 1988 and injected into orbits within the altitude range of 700 1,000 kilometres.

During the 1990s, however, transmutation research has assumed importance as it could offer possibilities to dispose of both nuclear waste from power reactors and surplus weapon material.

The Russian space programme using reactor NPS is almost exclusively based on future NPUs with thermal emission reactor converters and NPPUs with reactors based on rocket propulsion technology.
