Product Description
The success of the six international conferences on Water Chemistry of Nuclear Reactor Systems, held in Bournemouth since 1977, has shown the worldwide interest in obtaining a scientific understanding of the water chemistry that determines the operational behaviour of nuclear power stations. Continuing this objective, these proceedings of the seventh conference address the chemical factors important to the operation of water power reactors with minimum corrosion, operator radiation dose and effluent discharges. ...

From the supplier: German centrifuge engineer Bruno Stemmler assisted Iraqi engineers in their centrifuge program in 1988 and 1989 when the West still supported Iraq. Stemmler was later accused of selling confidential information, but was never formally charged. Stemmler discusses the work he did for Iraq.

Work Founders on Violation of Assumption
The work proposes a new technology from the marriage of in-service inspection, probabilistic fracture mechanics and probabilistic risk assessment.It founders on the violation of an axiom of probability theoryby in-service inspection.

In brief, the preservation of lives andproperty sometimes depends upon the integrity of a structure whichfunctions under mechanical stress.In-service inspection (ISI), usingultrasound, xrays or other nondestructive techniques for detecting flaws,offers a mechanism by which these risks might be mitigated.Engineersapply ISI to a variety of critically important structures, including thepressure boundaries of nuclear power reactors.

Seemingly, one couldimprove decisions about when and how to use ISI by marrying it to a pair ofrecently developed disciplines.One of them, probabilistic riskassessment, estimates the probabilities of events with dire consequencesfor people, such as reactor meltdowns.The other, probabilistic fracturemechanics, estimates the probabilities of failure of structures which aresubjected to ISI.Does ISI not have an effect on the probability ofreactor meltdown?Don't do it, would be the conclusion coming from the newtechnology.Does it cut this probability 10-fold?Do it, would be theconclusion.

However, there is a fly in the ointment.A recentlypublished paper demonstrates that ISI violates an axiom of probabilitytheory (see "Erratic Measure," in NDE for the Energy Industry1995, pp. 1-6.The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York,NY.) ... Read more
