A NEW METHOD TO CALCULATE A STANDARD SET OF FINITE CLOUD DOSE CORRECTION FACTORS FOR THE LEVEL 3 PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

A new method to calculate a standard set of finite cloud dose correction factors for the level 3 probabilistic safety assessment of nuclear power plants

Level 3 probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is performed to calculate radionuclide concentrations and exposure dose resulting from nuclear power plant accidents.To calculate the external exposure dose from the released radioactive materials, the radionuclide concentrations are multiplied by two factors of dose coefficient and a finite cloud dose

Combined effect of nano-SiO2 particles and steel fibers on flexural properties of concrete composite containing fly ash

This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the combined effect of nano-SiO2 particles and steel fibers on flexural properties of concrete composites containing fly ash.In this study, five different nano-SiO2 contents (1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%) and five different steel fiber contents (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%) were used.The results indi

Generalised Mermin-type non-locality arguments

We broadly generalise Mermin-type arguments on GHZ states, and we provide exact group-theoretic conditions for non-locality to be achieved.Our results are of interest in quantum foundations, where they yield a new hierarchy of quantum-realisable All-vs-Nothing arguments.They are also of interest to quantum Essential Oils protocols, where they find

Fundamental concepts of radiopharmaceuticals quality controls

Quality control (QC) procedures should always be performed following radiopharmaceutical preparation and prior to patient administration.The main aim of QC is to ensure optimal radiopharmaceutical product properties except for some short half-life tracers such as some positron emission tomography (PET) imaging probs.by dispensing a ORGANIC POPPING
