Investigation of portable nuclear power systems
… electronic devices do not simply plug into the power grid, due to their size, use, or distance from infrastructure. The use of nuclear power is well-established in large-scale power production, but mostly unutilized in small-scale applications. One potential candidate for small-scale power …

Risk-informed incident management for nuclear power plants
Decision making as a part of nuclear power plant operations is a critical, but common, task. Plant management is forced to make decisions that may have safety and economic consequences. Formal decision theory offers the potential for a structured approach capable of taking into account risk-related …
