Abstract: This standard sets forth values for the decay heat power from fission products and 239U and 239Np following shutdown of light water reactors (LWRs) containing 235U, 238U, and plutonium. The decay heat power from fission ...

Abstract: This standard presents the fundamental content elements of a training and qualification program for individuals with responsibilities for performing the various technical aspects of criticality safety engineering. The ...

Abstract: Introduction and scope
In the decades prior to this standard, significant enhancements have been made in the area of atmospheric dispersion modeling. Considerable advances have occurred in our understanding ...

Abstract: This standard is applicable to operations with fissionable materials outside nuclear reactors, except for the assembly of these materials under controlled conditions, such as in critical experiments. Generalized basic ...

Abstract: Scope: This standard 1) provides guidance and specifies criteria for determining the MTC in PWRs. Measurement of the isothermal temperature coefficient of reactivity (ITC) at hot-zero-power (HZP) conditions is covered in ...

Abstract: This national standard establishes the requirements for evaluating the occurrence and movement of radionuclides in the subsurface resulting from abnormal radionuclide releases at commercial nuclear power plants.
