Analysis of the comparison of in situ measurements made on biological shielding of the BR3 nuclear reactor
(Springer, 2022-05)
INSIDER (Improved Nuclear SIte characterization for waste minimization in D&D operations under constrained EnviRonment) was a European project funded under the H2020-EURATOM programme and launched in June 2017. The project ...
Review of Systems Engineering (SE) Methods and Their Application to Wave Energy Technology Development
(MDPI, 2020-10-20)
The design of effective and economically viable wave energy devices involves complex decision-making about the product based on conceptual design information, including stakeholder requirements, functions, components and ...
Influence of Butterfly and Gate Valves Upstream Large Water Meters
(MDPI, 2020-09-14)
The research presented was conducted to quantify the effects of butterfly and gate valves located upstream water meters with diameters larger than 50 mm. Errors caused by these valves can have an enormous financial impact ...
Calibration of Reanalysis Data against Wind Measurements for Energy Production Estimation of Building Integrated Savonius-Type Wind Turbine
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
In this work, a cost-effective wind resource method specifically developed for the ROSEO-BIWT (Building Integrated Wind Turbine) and other Building Integrated Wind Turbines is presented. It predicts the wind speed and ...
Radiological characterisation in view of nuclear reactor decommissioning: On-site benchmarking exercise of a biological shield
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-04-28)
[EN] Nearly all decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) projects are steered by the characterisation of the plant being dismantled. This radiological characterisation is a complex process that is updated and modified during ...
Analysis of Alpha Activity Levels and Dependence on Meteorological Factors over a Complex Terrain in Northern Iberian Peninsula (2014–2018)
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
Alpha ambient concentrations in ground-level air were measured weekly in Bilbao (northern Spain) by collecting aerosols in filters between 2014 and 2018. Over this period, the alpha activity concentrations in the aerosol’s ...
Meteorological Factors Controlling 7Be Activity Concentrations in the Atmospheric Surface Layer in Northern Spain
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
This work presents the analysis of weekly 7Be activity concentrations in the air measured in Bilbao (northern Spain) by collecting aerosols in filters over a ten years period (2009–2018). 7Be level is in the 0.35–7.3 mBq/m3 ...
Classification and categorization of the constrained environments in nuclear/radiological installations under decommissioning and dismantling processes
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2020-06)
INSIDER is an EU Horizon 2020 research project, within the topic NFRP-7 of the EURATOM programme, that aims to develop and validate a new and improved integrated characterization methodology and strategy for the nuclear ...
Recommendations for the selection of in situ measurement techniques for radiological characterization in nuclear/radiological installations under decommissioning and dismantling processes
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-04-30)
[EN] In this paper, in-situ radiological characterisation by means of non-destructive techniques is studied and analysed in the context of the different constrained environments (identified as radioactivity, materials, ...
The Influence of the Chamber Configuration on the Hydrodynamic Efficiency of Oscillating Water Column Devices
(MDPI, 2020-09-26)
Based on the two-dimensional linear wave theory, the effects of the front wall thickness and the bottom profile of an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device on its efficiency were analyzed. Using the potential flow approach, ...
