Повний текст джерелаThe general objective of this research is to analyze the communication system of nuclear power plants in Spain and, based on that premise, to make a communicative proposal based on the strategy that contributes to the repair of the social legitimacy of nuclear energy. The methodology used for this research has four fundamental points: bibliographic sources, review of scientific texts about business, CSR and communication, communication and nuclear Legislation; reports on electricity production and consumption, and studies of public opinion and nuclear energy; personal sources, in-depth interviews with those responsible for communication in Spain's nuclear power plants; quality analysis of the web pages of atomic plants; and an analysis of content of newspapers with proximity to nuclear power plants. The production of electricity of nuclear origin has advantages and disadvantages: it is a type of energy that gives stability to the network and guarantees the supply; it does not emit polluting gases into the atmosphere; it is a highly regulated activity; it has a relevant socioeconomic impact in the areas where the nuclear facilities are located; it generates radioactive waste and in case of accident the damage to the health of people and the environment is possible. Public opinion in Spain is positioned against nuclear energy and atomic plants, but surveys say that when the interviewees know more information about the atomic industry, the acceptance towards this source of energy increases. This information gap between the nuclear power plants and their public justifies that the communicative function has a leading role. Another issue that justifies that communication is necessary for this sector is that its viability does not depend exclusively on producing a good, such as electricity, nor on doing so in a sustainable, efficient, safe or profitable way. In the nuclear sector there are interest groups with the capacity to decide on the future of the facilities, such as, the governments, the owner company or the regulatory body; and other interest groups that have prestige in the debate and influence on public opinion, such as the media or environmental and anti-nuclear groups, among others. Our proposal is based on four axes: a business orientation to repair social legitimacy; principles that inspire Nuclear Communication; a Communication Management structure; and a strategic communication plan (internal, external, and crisis). We understand that in order to repair the legitimacy of nuclear energy, first of all business practices must be responsible for, secondly, transmitting them to different publics. Moreover we believe that nuclear communication must be sustained in a genuine and constant dialogue with interest groups, because we believe that communication in a nuclear power plant must respond to the following characteristics: strategic, organized, directive, proactive, responsible, service and relational. From an academic viewpoint, this research covers a vacuum since there is no theoretical development on Nuclear Communication. And from a practical point of view, the results of this research can be applied to the communicative management of any atomic plant. Therefore, we believe that this research is suitable for the knowledge of society, the academic world and the sector itself.

Повний текст джерелаAs a developing country with the second largest population in the world, India's energy needs will continue to grow steadily in the coming decades. A significant proportion of India's oil, coal and natural gas are imported because of a dearth of indigenous energy resources. This creates a situation of energy dependence and is a potential national security issue. As a result, the government is embarking on an ambitious plan to have nuclear power generate 25% of electricity in 2050 – up from 3.7% in 2012. The aim is to be running on thorium fast-breeder reactors, that are currently in development, by that time. India's vast reserves of thorium would mean that this would improve energy security, while also improving access to energy for the large part of its population that remains without it.
However, nuclear energy is controversial. Issues of safety and viability must be addressed adequately if nuclear energy is to be pursued. Civil-society concerns about the displacement of people and the degradation or changes in environment around plants and its consequences must also be appropriately addressed. The aim of this paper is to ascertain if it is indeed in India's strategic interest to invest in nuclear energy. Within a theoretical framework of energy security the paper will seek to identify what changes should be made in the sector to guide and manage the process of expanding nuclear-power generation is also important if prescribing this course of action.

Повний текст джерелаNos últimos oito anos, o setor elétrico brasileiro tem sofrido profundas transformações em sua estrutura básica. Porém, ainda há muito a fazer, principalmente na área de diversificação de energia, uma vez que a matriz energética do setor elétrico está concentrada em uma só fonte - a hidráulica. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar um arcabouço analítico com os recursos e as competências necessários/desejáveis à exploração da energia nucleoelétrica no país. A investigação foi desenvolvida, usando a metodologia de estudo de caso, escolhendo como objeto de pesquisa a Eletrobrás Termonuclear - Eletronuclear. Coletados por meio de investigação documental/telematizada, formulário predominantemente estruturado e entrevistas, os dados da pesquisa foram tratados com métodos quantitativos e qualitativos. A interpretação e a análise dos dados foram realizadas com base no referencial teórico, fundamentado em revisão de literatura pertinente à área de estudo, com auxílio do modelo genérico integrativo de Macedo-Soares (2000 e 2002), em suas versões tradicional e relacional. Em seguida, utilizando o método AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), realizou-se uma hierarquização das categorias de recursos e de competências apuradas, em ordem de importância, segundo a percepção dos gestores participantes da pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciaram inconsistências entre os objetivos estratégicos explicitados pela empresa, sua capacidade financeira, os fatores macroambientais políticos e os atores estratégicos. Dentre as recomendações resultantes da pesquisa, o arcabouço de recursos e competências proposto destaca as categorias mais relevantes e alerta para aquelas que requerem ações mais efetivas com vistas a viabilizar a geração de energia nucleoelétrica no Brasil.
Since 1996, the basic structure of the Brazilian electric sector has been changing dramatically. However, these changes have not brought great improvement in terms of electric energy diversification, considering that the sector`s energetic matrix is basically concentrated in a single source - the hydraulic. The objective of this study is to develop an analytic framework with the necessary/desirable resources and competencies to explore the nuclear-electric energy in Brazil. The investigation was carried out through the case study methodology and had Electronuclear - Brazil`s state-owned nuclear energy producer - as object of study. Data collected through documental/telematic investigations and mainly structured interviews, were handled with qualitative and quantitative methods. The data interpretation and analysis were conducted based on the theoretical references from the literature review, with the support of the systemic and integrative model - traditional and relational versions - developed by Macedo-Soares(2000 e 2002). After that, utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the resources and competencies were organized in different groups and classified by priority, according to managerial perceptions. The results highlight inconsistencies between the firm`s strategy objectives, its financial resources, the political macro- environmental factors and the strategic actors. Among the recommendations made as a result of the research, the framework of resources and competencies shows the more relevant groups and emphasizes some aspects that need effective actions in order to explore the nuclear-electric energy in Brazil.

With the revolution of digital medical imaging and the increasing computational power, the field of quantitative medical image analysis emerged. By programming a computer to detect patterns of interest in medical images and derive clinically meaningful numerical indicators from them, this field shows promising potential for healthcare and medical research systems. In this thesis, the design and implementation of computer-based quantification techniques in nuclear medicine and neuroradiological images led to several contributions in this field. These image-derived indicators contributed to complement the visual diagnosis and to further understand the pathophysiology of important health issues such as breast cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pyelonephritis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and cannabis abuse.

North Korea's relationship with nuclear technology has concerned the world for decades. A wide array of negotiation methods from punitive sanctions to energy assistance have been attempted to dissuade the nation from developing its weapons program -- but every resolution has been temporary at best. We focus on the United States' negotiation strategy and attempt to uncover inconsistencies between it and the material facts of the North Korean situation. The historical record of past negotiations and rhetoric used by each party during previous attempts are considered in our analysis, in order to construct a picture of diplomatic evolution over time. We believe that the North Korean bargaining position -- which has been highly consistent across decades of cyclic negotiating behavior -- is fundamentally incompatible with US demands for complete denuclearization.

Повний текст джерелаCurrent realist explanations of why states decide to develop nuclear weapons cannot account for the behavior of states that lack a clear strategic threat. An alternative explanation is necessary to explain such behavior. I argue that domestic regimes in states with no clear strategic threat may develop nuclear weapons in order to ensure their survival. Such regimes are internationally isolated, under pressure from major powers in the international system and possess some preexisting nuclear capacity. Under these conditions, increasing domestic instability causes regimes to pursue a course of nuclear development. Nuclear weapons allow a regime to change the preferences of the great powers that would otherwise prefer to see the regime overthrown. If the regime possesses nuclear weapons, because of the costs and risks associated with those weapons, the great power will favor maintenance of the status quo and may even prop up a regime it intensely dislikes.

This work is focused on the strategy for utilizing high-burnup fuel in pressurized water reactors (PWR) with special emphasis on the full array of neutronic considerations. The historical increase in batch-averaged discharge fuel burnup, from ~30 MWd/kg in the 1970s to ~50 MWd/kg today, was achieved mainly by increasing the reload fuel enrichment to allow longer fuel cycles: from an average of 12 months to about 18 months. This also reduced operating costs by improving the plant capacity factor. Recently, because of limited spent fuel storage capacity, increased core power output and the search for increased proliferation resistance, achieving burnup in the 70 to 100 MWd/kg range has attracted considerable attention. However the implications of this initiative have not been fully explored; hence this work defines the practical issues for high-burnup PWR fuels based on neutronic, thermal hydraulic and economic considerations as well as spent fuel characteristics. In order to evaluate the various high burnup fuel design options, an improved MCNP-ORIGEN depletion program called MCODE was developed. A standard burnup predictor-corrector algorithm is implemented, which distinguishes MCODE from other MCNP-ORIGEN linkage codes. Using MCODE, the effect of lattice design (moderation effect) on core design and spent fuel characteristics is explored. Characterized by the hydrogen-to-heavy-metal ratio (H/HM), the neutron spectrum effect in UO2/H2O lattices is investigated for a wide range of moderation, from fast spectra to over-thermalized spectra. It is shown that either wetter or very dry lattices are preferable in terms of achievable burnup potential to those having an epithermal spectrum. Wet lattices are the preferred high burnup approach due to improved proliferation resistance. The constraint of negative moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) requires that H/HM values (now at 3.4) remain below ~6.0 for PWR lattices. Alternative fuel choices, including the conventional solid pellets, central-voided annular pellets, Internally- & eXternally-cooled Annular Fuel (IXAF), and different fuel forms are analyzed to achieve a wetter lattice. Although a wetter lattice has higher burnup potential than the reference PWR lattice, the requirement of a fixed target cycle energy production necessitates higher initial fuel enrichments to compensate for the loss of fuel mass in a wetter lattice. Practical issues and constraints for the high burnup fuel include neutronic reactivity control, heat transfer margin, and fission gas release. Overall the IXAF design appears to be the most promising approach to realization of high burnup fuel. High-burnup spent fuel characteristics are compared to the reference spent fuel of 33 MWd/kg, representative of most of the spent fuel inventory. Although an increase of decay power and radioactivity per unit mass of initial heavy metal is immediately observed, the heat load (integration of decay power over time) per unit electricity generation decreases as the fuel discharge burnup increases. The magnitude of changes depends on the time after discharge. For the same electricity production, not only the mass and volume of the spent fuel are reduced, but also, to a lesser extent, the total heat load of the spent fuel. Since the heat load in the first several hundred years roughly determines the capital cost of the repository, a high burnup strategy coupled with adequate cooling time, may provide a cost-reduction approach to the repository. High burnup is beneficial to enhancing the proliferation resistance. The plutonium vector in the high-burnup spent fuel is degraded, hence less attractive for weapons. For example, the ratio of Pu-238 to Pu-239 increases with burnup to the 2.5 power. However, the economic benefits are uncertain. Under the current economic conditions, the PWR fuel burnup appears to have a shallow optimum discharge burnup between 50 and 80 MWd/kg. The actual minimum is influenced by the financing costs as well as the cost of refueling shutdowns. Since the fuel cycle back-end benefits will accrue to the federal government, the current economic framework, such as the waste fee based on the electricity produced rather than volume or actinide content, does not create an incentive for utilities to increase burnup. Different schemes exist for fuel management of high burnup PWR cores. For the conventional core design, a generalized enrichment-burnup correlation (applicable between 3 w/o and 20 w/o) was produced based on CASMO/SIMULATE PWR core calculations. Among retrofit cores, increasing the number of fuel batches is preferred over increasing the cycle length due to nuclear fuel cycle economic imperatives. For future core designs, a higher power-density core is a very attractive option to cut down the busbar cost. The IXAF concept possesses key design characteristics that provide the necessary thermal margins at high core power densities. In this regard, the IXAF fuel deserves further investigation to fully exploit its high burnup capability.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation deals with the topic of nuclear deterrence and takes as its starting point a theoretical discussion of some of the concepts presented by the neorealist school of International Relations. In particular, this paper focuses on the work of Kenneth Waltz and John Mearsheimer, explaining terms like power, polarity and nuclear capacity. Secondly, in order to provide a kind of foil or counterpoint to the neorealist school, this dissertation presents the views of various authors from the field of Strategic Studies, particularly Bernard Brodie, Thomas Schelling, Lawrence Freedman, Colin Gray and Eugenio Diniz. Among other things, the investigation traces the evolution of nuclear strategic theory during the period of the Cold War. The dissertation also deals with issues related to the meaning of nuclear deterrence, seen here as power capability. Although the main focus of this research has to do with theoretical matters, the literature that was taken into consideration also allows one to branch out into the more practical field of politics. Thus, a good deal of the research centers on the prerequisites that have to be met before a nation can be considered a nuclear power and the meaning and practical implications of this. Above all, what needs clarification is whom or which countries India is able to deter with the nuclear or strategic power at its disposal. Therefore, after a brief presentation of the security landscape of the Indian subcontinent, which will allow one to gauge why India decided to go nuclear, the last chapter of this dissertation takes up the implications of nuclear deterrence as power capability, as it applies to India.

Повний текст джерелаOver the past decade, Russia’s reemergence on the international stage has been accompanied by a more aggressive foreign policy agenda. This confrontational Russian behavior lends itself to the conduct of a case study of the international relations theory known as realism. This thesis analyzes Russian decision making on strategic missile defense and nuclear arms control from a realist perspective. Russia’s policies appear to be shaped by realist principles such as zero-sum calculations, the existence of an anarchic international system, and the continuing attempts to alter the balance of power to Moscow’s advantage. Moscow holds that U.S.-led ballistic missile defense (BMD) efforts could not only neutralize Russia’s nuclear deterrent, but upset strategic stability. Russia’s nuclear weapons serve a critical deterrent role and fulfill political purposes, so Moscow is highly resistant to nuclear arms reductions beyond those specified in the 2010 New START Treaty. Russia even seeks to modernize and expand its nuclear arsenal, but it will be constrained by economic realities. Despite these constraints, Russia’s great power ambitions hold potential security risks for NATO countries.

The supercritical carbon dioxide (S-C02) recompression cycle is a promising advanced power conversion cycle which couples well to numerous advanced nuclear reactor designs. This thesis investigates the dynamic simulation of, control strategies for, and selected transient results for an indirect S-CO2 recompression cycle. The cycle analyzed is a 600 MWth, highly recuperated, single shaft recompression power conversion cycle with a turbine inlet temperature of 6500C. The cycle features relatively high net efficiency (-47%) at relatively low heat addition temperatures, primarily due to efficient compression. The bottom of this cycle approaches (but in the steady state does not cross) carbon dioxide's critical point, where high fluid densities (-600 kg/m 3) allow efficient compression. Dynamic simulation of this cycle is complicated by its key features: single-shaft constant-speed turbomachinery, main and recompression compressor in parallel, operation of the main compressor inlet very close to the critical point, and rapid fluid property changes surrounding the critical point. A dynamic simulation and control code for gas-cooled Brayton Cycle reactor power conversion systems (PCS) has been significantly modified and enhanced to use supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid. These modifications include the incorporation of accurate yet fast fluid properties, more detailed modeling of turbomachinery performance, and rapid yet accurate calculation of heat exchange in printed circuit heat exchangers, even with rapid fluid property changes. Of particular significance are the methods devised to overcome convergence problems caused by compression near the critical point of C02, and the attendant large variations in properties in the main compressor, precooler and low temperature recuperator.
Coding innovations have made faster than real time simulation possible (on today's off the shelf hardware), which makes plant simulator and control applications feasible. This code was used to devise and investigate some of the major control strategies required to operate the cycle: high and low temperature control, three variations of turbine bypass, and inventory control. Using these strategies various transients were investigated including part-load operation, loss-of-load, loss of heat sink, over-power, and startup/shutdown.
