After the Fukushima accident, IAEA made operational intervention levels as part of its nuclear and radiation emergencystrategy, and required NPPs to set them in advance. The time steps and scope ofprotection actions of IAEA and several major nuclear states are described, as well as their respective protective action criteria, such as operational intervention levels, derived response levels and reference emergency levels. The time dependent curves of OIL1 and OIL2 for 10 accident source terms in five PWRNPPs of China were obtained by using the IAEA-EPR-NPP-OIL operational intervention level calculation formulas. At the same time, the influence of core storage amount on operational intervention level was analyzed. It is expected to provide reference for setting default values for operation intervention levels.

Emergency evacuation of nuclear accidents is an important part of nuclear emergency response, with the aim of quicklyand effectively transferring people who may be affected by the accident to safeareas. In accordance with sites and operation properties, the emergency responsecharacteristics of floating NPPs at sea are analyzed, and corresponding emergency level classification and emergency planning zone scope are provided. Combinedwith the evacuation for land NPP sites and the evacuation method of offshore platforms, the emergency evacuation scenarios and evacuation analysis hypotheses of floating NPPs at sea were formulated. The evacuation analysis of floating NPPpersonnel indicates that the evacuation requirements of passenger ships and thetime requirements for emergency evacuation for floating NPPs are met.

Measuring Sensitivity Estimation of Monitoring Methods for Long-lived Alpha-radioactive Aerosols

Both false coincidence methods and spectroscopic methods are mainly employed for radioactive aerosol monitoring, whilethere are two kinds of mode for the latter, i.e. super-channel and dual-channel compensations. The measurement sensitivity thereof is analyzed and estimated.The spurious coincidence and spectroscopy are mainly methods used for radioactive aerosol monitoring, furthermore the spectroscopy methods can be categorized as Super channel-energy compensation method and Double channel-energy compensation method. This paper analyzes and estimates the measurement sensitivity of thethree monitoring methods above.

Environmental Impact Analysis and Evaluation of Radar Electromagnetic Radiation for Ship Traffic Management Systems

Based on working modes and technical parameters of radar in ship traffic management systems, the instantaneous peak and average distribution are calculated for axial electrical and magnetic field intensity of radar antennas. The electromagnetic radiation environmental impact involved is analyzed then. According to the relevant national technical standards, the horizontal and vertical compliance distances of radar antennas are providedfurther. The technical basis for radar station siting and construction can be provided thereby.

Steam Generator Airtight Plug Plate Disassembling Operation Radiation Risk Control for PWR NPP Overhauls
