Learn how the IHS Nuclear Design Methods provide a rigorously validated, reliable and accurate source of engineering knowledge for design within the targets set by international standards and codes.

As oil resources become increasingly expensive, many countries are reassessing the economic benefits and safety factors of nuclear power. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission alone is actively reviewing 12 combined license applications from 11 companies and consortia for 20 nuclear power plants. Just over a year past Fukushima, there is an even deeper desire, demand and value in building and operating environmentally safe nuclear power plants, and safely decommissioning those at the end of their operating life cycle.

Engineers involved in these efforts require a reliable, easily accessible source for accurate and efficient methods that reflect the lessons learned across the industry about nuclear power and engineering over the last 70 years. Join IHS for the May 17th Webcast, Nuclear Design Methods, to learn how the IHS Nuclear Design Methods solution provides a rigorously validated source of engineering knowledge for design within the targets set by international standards and codes. These methods are developed by specialised engineers and scientists under the guidance of international technical committees and represent the industry best practice.

Webcast Topic Highlights:

• Applying validated design methods for the thermo-hydraulic and structural design of the different components, which will include plates, pipelines and pressure vessels in nuclear power plants and facilities.
• Using validated design methods with other CAE (computer Aided Engineering) tools.
• How current work programs for product development include addressing some of the most important issues in the industry, including ventilation systems, suppression of noise in and around the facility, and environmental impacts.

Register for this exclusive webcast to learn how tapping into this valuable resource can benefit you and your organization, empowering you with the latest data, procedures and software for existing and new nuclear power-generation plants, as well as decommissioning and fuel reprocessing facilities.
