    Fukushima No. 1 loss of coolant due to earthquake

    Guys, pardon me to brainstrom on some of the worst scenario one can imagine. Suppose the control of the situation is lost, and all reactors are lost with all nuclear material releasing radiations to atmosphere making a whole area of 500 km diameter having no more acceptable levels of radiation...

    Fukushima No. 1 loss of coolant due to earthquake

    quoted wiki on Tchernobyl: "Four hundred times more radioactive material was released than had been by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. However, compared to the total amount released by nuclear weapons testing during the 1950s and 1960s, the Chernobyl disaster released 100 to 1000 times less...

    Japanese nuclear accident FAQ

    I remember one of my EPC project for Refinery extension located in Europe. Refinery are critical Plants but for sure not to that level of Nuclear one. The Owner of refinery was an US Major. When doing the ENG, I was surprised that one of the Primary focus of the US Client ENG was the scenario of...

    Fukushima No. 1 loss of coolant due to earthquake

    Someone could tell us please the amount of radiations emissions to environment in Fukushima in comparison to Tchernobyl Reactor with regard to the total quantity of Nuclear Fuel available in Fukushima's failing Reactors and their capacity versus Tchernobyl? Would it be something like 3 times...

    Japanese nuclear accident FAQ

    I see something unethical and untransparent in the way this crisis is managed by local and international Nuclear autorities respective to the critical nature of the risk that hold on public safety as far as concerned with Nuclear Accident. Normally when the loss of coolant has been reported the...

If for any reason, including a dysfunction in the organization, you get the opportunity to do more than what you are prepared...

    Reciprocating Compressor / Centrifugal Compressor Flowrate Limitation

    For centrifugal compressors when you decrease the actual flowrate the flow coefficient tend also to decrease and impellers width becomes very narrow. At such low flow coefficients, the polytropic efficiency drop significantly (efficiencies may fall in the range of 60% - 50% typically).

    honeymoon's over before it started

    On one side, I would say you have no idea of the evolution in the mid term, what will happen, how things will change in the organisation. So when you give to much importance to such a bad start, it is like you are assuming having quasi-full control of the surrounding events in the near future...
