Plant Life Extension (PLEX) and Plant Life Management (PLIM): A New lease of Life for the Nuclear Industry
Summary
Nuclear industry plays a vital role in global power generation. While the demand for nuclear power generation has been growing worldwide, addressing concerns about the aging nuclear plants are critical for the nuclear industry. The nuclear report, 'Plant Life Extension (PLEX) and Plant Life Management (PLIM): A New lease of Life for the Nuclear Industry' provides in-depth analysis of the nuclear power plants that are undergoing an extension of life. As the reemergence of nuclear industry in the global energy arena indicates a significant growth of nuclear power, understanding of the importance of PLEX and its role in sustaining the competitiveness of nuclear plants is vital. Life extension of nuclear plants provides several opportunities to the nuclear equipment and service providing companies to supply the necessary equipment and components for the successful implementation of PLEX.

Magnetic Nanoparticles Could Aid Heat Dissipation in Nuclear Plant Cooling Systems and Electronics
Nov. 20, 2013 — Cooling
systems generally rely on water pumped through pipes to remove unwanted
heat. Now, researchers at MIT and in Australia have found a way of
enhancing heat transfer in such systems by using magnetic fields, a
method that could prevent hotspots that can lead to system failures. The
system could also be applied to cooling everything from electronic
devices to advanced fusion reactors, they say.
