[ RadSafe ] Nureg 0017 (PWR-GALE)

[Rahim Ghanooni]

Pete:

The following is a list of the topics for PWR-GALE (Nureg 0017).  For an
operating plant the radionuclide concentrations can be measures
(detected/analysis/….).   However for a new nuke plant all these parameters
have to be calculated and submitted for approval.  The documentation only
provides two or three calculational methodology (equations, …) for
determining the rest, the software is needed.



I am working for NuScale Power Inc. (www.nuscalwepower.com) to determine the
radionuclide concentrations in the plant systems, the expected fuel burnup
concentration and perform the shielding calculation.



The NuScale Power is in process of designing a 160 MWt Nuke plant, very
efficient, cost effective, and it is designed to put few in series obtaining
for example 800 MWt.  Please check the Website for more info.
