Severe Accident Analysis in Nuclear Power Plants

摘要

Safety of nuclear power plants is essential and safety standards are continuously reviewed and upgraded as new developments and research are performed. Continuous research regarding this subject is fundamental for the nuclear industry. Although severe accident analysis and research have been performed throughout the evolution of nuclear industry, it has not yet considered all plausible scenarios. Adequate analyses are needed for all phases of severe accidents in order to maintain or improve safety margins. Hence, it is essential to encourage researchers to keep performing and developing research, codes, and simulations of these potentially hazardous events. The original works published in this special issue can help to improve safety and understand the phenomena involved in severe accidents and their consequences in existing generation Ⅱ nuclear power plants (NPP) as well as in generation Ⅲ NPP being built and in generation Ⅲ+ and Ⅳ NPP being developed.
