FULL POWER OPERATION [17 records]

Record 1 2011-12-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

Operational bypasses. The trips that protect the reactor in one mode of normal operation may prevent changes to other operational states. For example, the trips that protect the reactor at low power will prevent the reactor from reaching full power. To permit such changes, the initiation of an unnecessary and unwanted protective action should be inhibited by means of an operational bypass(sometimes referred to as trip conditioning). Such logic conditioning of trip signals should be integrated into the protection system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

Inhibitions d’exploitation. Les seuils d’arrêt d’urgence qui protègent le réacteur lors d’un mode de fonctionnement normal peuvent empêcher le passage à d’autres états de fonctionnement. Par exemple, les seuils d’arrêt d’urgence qui protègent le réacteur à faible puissance empêcheront le réacteur d’atteindre sa pleine puissance. Pour permettre de tels changements, le déclenchement d’une action protectrice inutile et non souhaitée devrait être inhibé au moyen d’une inhibition d’exploitation (appelée parfois circuit permissif). Ce circuit permissif devrait être intégré dans le système de protection.

Record 2 2011-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cells and Batteries
DEF

A battery operation in which the battery is normally connected to an external current source; for instance, a battery charger which supplies the battery load under normal conditions, while also providing enough energy input to the battery to make up for its internal quiescent losses, thus keeping the battery always up to full power and ready for service.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Piles et accumulateurs
DEF

Opération réalisée sur une batterie qui consiste à relier cette dernière à une source électrique extérieure, notamment un chargeur de batterie, qui fournit la charge de celle-ci dans des conditions normales d'utilisation tout en l'alimentant en énergie pour compenser les pertes internes subies en position de repos, ce qui permet de maintenir sa pleine puissance et sa disponibilité.

However, the core can be rearranged in the course of an irradiation cycle(in which case one speaks of successive loading plans). During the first years in operation, the average duration of an irradiation cycle at the Phénix plant was extended from fifty days at first to about ninety days. For the final irradiation cycles it has been set at 120 effective full power days(EFPD).

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

One aim of the plant design is to achieve access for maintenance in the steam handling equipment. However, in a direct cycle nuclear power plant, the steam contains radioactive material. The activity levels are often sufficient to limit or prohibit access to portions of the equipment during full power operation.

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

To increase the power to 20% of the rated power to start the turbine generator system, the reflector is periodically lifted up at a speed of 1mm per 15 minutes in automatic mode. Periodic operation is needed to stabilize the system heat balance. At the same time, the pressure of the water steam separation tank is decreased to generate steam and to reduce the re-circulation flow. After this, the power is increased to full power by lifting up the reflectors and increasing the feed water flow.

Record 6 2008-03-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
OBS

Each of the two hydraulic systems for the Douglas DC-9 airplane is provided with an auxiliary, electrically driven, variable-displacement hydraulic pump. The pumps are explosion-resistant, hydraulic-fluid-cooled and lubricated, self-supercharged, and pressure-and horsepower-controlled. They are capable of supplying a nonpulsating flow of hydraulic fluid in varying volume, depending upon system pressure... Control of the pumps is accomplished by means of switches in the flight compartment. If one engine should stop or if the hydraulic pump on that engine should fail, it is merely necessary to turn on the electric pump switch to place the system back in full operation. Each pump is connected to its respective system by means of flexible hoses with a ground power suction disconnect fitting installed in the suction line. The left pump can be quickly removed and installed in the right system if the right pump fails.

PHR

Emergency operation, starting of an electric auxiliary pump.

PHR

A flapper valve connects to the electric auxiliary pump.

PHR

An electric auxiliary pump provides fuel motive force.

CONT

La pompe mécanique du moteur et une pompe électrique auxiliaire assurent l'alimentation du moteur.

OBS

Chaque circuit est associé à un réacteur [...] et comporte deux pompes : la pompe motrice entraînée directement par le réacteur et qui met le circuit en pression, la pompe électrique qui est en parallèle avec la pompe moteur et fournit une pression auxiliaire complémentaire à la pompe motrice dans certains cas difficile où il y a une demande importante de pression hydraulique. De plus les pompes auxiliaires sont indispensables au sol puisqu'elles permettent de fournir la pression hydraulique nécessaire au circuit principal de frein lorsque tous les réacteurs se sont arrêtés; c'est à dire pendant le début de la poussé inversé des réacteurs à l'atterrissage ou en cas de remorquage de l'avion.

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
OBS

Direct injection(DI) refers to fuel injected directly into the combustion chamber above the piston. Direct injection has long been used on large diesel engines. Smaller diesels are increasingly adopting direct injection(vs. indirect injection into a pre-chamber). Direct injection also can be used in spark ignition(generally gasoline) engines instead of port fuel injection-for cleaner emissions, increased full throttle power and potentially for lean-burn operation.

Key term(s)
  • direct-injection engine

  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Window Observational Research Facility(WORF). The WORF will provide a stable platform such that the full capacity of the U. S. Laboratory window(the highest optical quality window ever flown on an inhabited spacecraft) can be utilized. The WORF will provide payload support infrastructure including mounting hardware, power, cooling, and access to the ISS [International Space Station] data system. The WORF will provide protection for the interior of the Lab window and control stray light exchange between the Lab interior and the external Station environment. The WORF will be economically based upon structures and electronics already designed and certified for operation onboard the ISS and will allow easy periodic upgrade and changeout of support subsystems. WORF computer interfaces will maximize commonality with ISS command and data handling systems.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

An experimental system that uses off-the-shelf microcomputers in a triplicated configuration with voting to achieve reliability with both permanent and transient faults. This system was designed at Carnegie-Mellon University by Siewiorek et al. to provide reliable real time computing with software transparency to the fault tolerant aspects of the system. The basic design is modular, and it includes power distribution so that parts of the system can be serviced while the rest of the system is in operation. The processors are each DEC LSI-IIs with voting Logic, which votes on all processor accesses to the bus. The system can also operate with each processor working separately and interprocessor communications taking place via the full duplex single-word parallel interfaces.
