Nuclear Energy Applications

A nuclear reactor produces and controls the release of energy from splitting the atoms of certain elements. The energy released from continuous fission of the atoms of the fuel is utilized as heat in either a gas or water to produce steam. The steam is used to drive the turbines that drive electricity generators. Both boiling water reactors (BWR) and pressurized water reactors (PWR) require secondary separation or “steam drying” as the final stage of water separation within the reactors. In addition,...

The continuing establishment of nuclear power stations around the world pose unique environmental challenges for their operators. Ecotech provides air samplers to nuclear power plants for sampling of radionuclides. A nuclear power plant`s radionuclide monitoring network enables continuous sampling of airborne particles onto sample filters contained within High Volume Air Samplers. These filters are then analysed in a laboratory in order to screen for any radiation releases. The challenge has always been to...

Refuse Derived Fuel is waste produced by shredding and dehydrating municipal solid waste, after all recyclable elements have been removed. This fuel can then be used to generate energy. RDF varies in composition and level of treatment. UK regulation requires “some treatment” of waste to be qualified as RDF but is not specific about the level of treatment required. RDF offers high calorific value: on average 4,000 kcal/kg depending on the percentage of organic matter. The calorific value of RDF is...
