The Potential Role of New Technology for Enhanced Safety and Performance of Nuclear Power Plants Through Improved Service Maintenance
Year: 1991
Type: report
Abstract: Improvements of Safety and performance in nuclear facilities are important to the future of the world's nuclear power programs. Methods of enhancing safety are vital because of tenuous public acceptance of nuclear power following past accidents. Improved plant performance is critical for the economic feasibility of future nuclear power operations. An international cooperative program, created at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is investigating ways to improve nuclear power plants safety and operation. This program will investigate methods to identify practices, procedures, policies, and organizational structures that promote safe and efficient operation of the plants. The program has no international boundaries which allows nuclear power programs worldwide to benefit (H-1).
