The leading theme of the international conference in Bled, attended by 212 participants from 27 countries, was “Research and Education for Sustainable Nuclear Power”. At the conference, 6 invited lectures and 146 papers (38 as oral and 108 as poster presentations) were presented, summarizing the latest achievements in various fields of nuclear energy and technology. An electronic proceedings with 131 peer-reviewed papers was issued after the conference.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 248489216Prof. Borut Mavko acted as thesis supervisor of the doctoral student Luka Štrubelj. The student was involved in the research group as a Young researcher from 2004 to 2009. The work on the docotral thesis lead to the publishing of 3 papers in international journals and 17 papers at international conferences.
D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 2189668The time-dependent pressure in the containment of the Krško NPP during severe accidents with core meltdown, reactor pressure vessel failure and molten corium – concrete interaction in the reactor cavity was investigated. The analysis performed in 2007, which considered the first 20 hours after Reactor Pressure Vessel failure, was performed for the extended time interval 72 hours after the failure. Simulations showed that the atmosphere pressure in the containment does not reach the design pressure. The adequacy of the containment venting system at the considered conditions was confirmed.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 23538983An expertise that considered the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) diesel generators was prepared. The expertise considers the Safety Analysis Report change and Krško NPP Technical Specifications change related to diesel generator surveillance tests. The expertise was prepared based on U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NUREG–0800 and Regulatory Guide–1.9, Rev.3 recommendations, as well as on Krško NPP operating experience.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 22724391In 2009, the research group took part in the overseeing of outage activites and tests at the end of 23rd fuel cycle in the Krško Nuclear Power Plant. We have been verifying that the outage activites and tests were performed in accordance with the required regulations and technical specifications. The activites have therefore contributed towards meeting radiation protection standards and to the safe operation of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant.
F.30 Professional assessment of the situation
