The Essential Service Water (ESW) system is designed to remove heat from nuclear safety related equipment and systems of nuclear power plants during normal plant operation as well as during an accident when residual heat is removed from reactor via ESW. Experts from TES...

The use of artificial intelligence is currently on the rise in many fields, including energy market. In power engineering, artificial intelligence algorithms are used mainly for the early detection of anomalies called outliers, to create aging models for use in predictive mainten...

In power machines, there are a number of structural units in which fluid and solids move relative to each other, such as fuel rods and reactor clusters or valves and steam turbine control valves. The paper briefly outlines the methodology of compiling and controlling&#x...

The contribution deals with the development of the newest type of linear step control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) type LKP-M/4. The new CRDM was developed together with its electronics to assure full compatibility with new project of power plants VVER 1200 as well a...

The project addresses the seismic re-evaluation of selected large components of the NPP Mochovce 1,2, which is taking place on the basis of the IAEA requirement. The main requirement is to increase the seismic endurance of selected components from the level of PGA = 0.1g...

3D printing technology is a modern way of producing metal parts with great potential for application in many industries. The advantage of this method is the possibility of achieving the final form and structurally complex parts without further technological operations. This paper ...
