At present there are 3 main kinds of means for atmospheric environmental researches, i.e., experimental simulations, numerical simulations and field experiments. For experimental simulations, in addition to the wind tunnel experiment, the towing tank modeling study is keeping on development in recent years. To improve its experimental ability in this aspect, CIRP had erected a large environmental simulation towing tank and related test equipments. The structure of the tank simulation system, as well as its performance and features, are presented in this paper. A series of preliminary experiments have confirmed its effectiveness in the simulation of pollutant relocationdiffusion in atmospheric environment.

The fire scenario frequency analysis is the core content of Fire Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA). Based on NRC and EPRI's study on Fire PSA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities, the methodology for the fire scenario frequency analysis and parameter uncertainty analysis during the process of fire PSA are introduced. A quantitative calculation of fire scenario frequency is conducted, with a cabinet fire in a room in Fuqing nuclear power plant taken as an example. It shows that the results are more accurate when the parameter uncertainty propagation of heat release rate is considered.

The ground Electric field strength wastheoretically estimated and measured, with respect to the 40 V/m contour standard method, for several medium-wave transmitting towers with different radiationpower run at the same time, with an 8-tower collocated medium-wave broadcasting station taken as an example. It shows that only two towers with power greaterthan 50 kW can be measured to 40 V/m contour, and the difference between the values and the results estimated with the national environmental industry standardmethod is about 30%.

A novel method for determination of uranium in sea water with sodium polyphosphate as fluorescence intensifier was reported. It was found experimentally that quantitative determination of trace uranium was achievable with a 10-fold dilution by deionized water,the solution pHset to 2-3 and a concentration of sodium polyphosphate of 0.58%. The relative deviation of duplicate analysis is 4.3%-6.2%,and the recovery of standard addition is 95.0%-98.2%. Its detection limit is 0.16-0.22 μg/L.
