“Rules on Concrete Containment Vessels for Nuclear Power Plants” was first published in 2003. It was revised in 2011 and the latest Edition was published in 2015. Endorsement of this Code is expected in the very near future. There are two types of reactor containments: steel containment vessels (hereinafter referred to as “SCV”) and concrete containment vessels (hereinafter referred to as “CCV”). The former is addressed by Rules on Design and Construction for Nuclear Power Plants, and the latter by Rules on Concrete Containment Vessels for Nuclear Power Plants, including Reinforced Concrete Containment Vessel (hereinafter referred to as “RCCV”), Pre-stressed Concrete Containment Vessel (hereinafter referred to as “PCCV”), and hybrid containment vessels which are required further safety and reliability.

Embedded Sensing

Nondestructive evaluation has been used to investigate construction and use of concrete structures for the nuclear power industry. Nuclear concrete often has unique structural characteristics which increase proclivity towards degradation and inhibit analysis and inspection using traditional nondestructive techniques. Modern embedded sensing technologies can provide opportunities for the in-depth evaluation of nuclear reinforced-concrete structures. This paper offers an assessment of emerging embedded and surficial sensor techniques, and critically evaluates sensor applicability in the analysis of concrete structures used in the nuclear power industry.

Public Concerns

Nowadays, the safety of nuclear power plants is of increasing interest and importance. The main reasons for increased safety concerns are the recent major nuclear accident in Fukushima in 2011 and the overall tendency of environment protection. One of the possible ways of increasing the safety of nuclear power plants is the underground placement of all potentially dangerous systems under ground as the overlying soil or rock layer would act as a "earth" containment which would reduce the probability of ground level release following primary and secondary containment failure. Moreover, partial or total underground placement of nuclear power plant would reduce its visibility, and thus, public concerns would also be reduced. However, many design, operational, and economic disadvantages are linked with the underground placement of nuclear power plants. The aim of this paper is to provide state-of-the-art review of existing underground nuclear reactors, conceptual designs of underground nuclear reactors, and related literature, which can later be used for the design of a underground reinforced concrete containment building.
