摘要:
In order to implement the integration management of the occupational health and safety and environment (OHSE) in an operating nuclear power plant (ONPP) in East China and help it pass the OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 certifications simultaneously rather than separately, an integrated management system (IMS) for OHSE in the ONPP consisting of the occupational health and safety and environment management manual (OHSEMM) and its supportive documents was established to cover the OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 standards and IAEA's safety standards on management systems. The management information system for the IMS for the ONPP in East China (MISIMSONPPEC) consisting of the core zone, which includes the information-sharing platform (ISP) and the functional management system (FMS), client and background system was designed for the first time by using browser/server (B/S) structure to overcome the difficulties in implementing the IMS. The applications of the MISIMSONPPEC in the ONPP show that it helped to share and statistically analyze the OHSE data and information from the IMS, to improve the cooperation between departments, to enhance the efficiency of management, and to pass the OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 certifications simultaneously rather than separately; and it helped accomplish the integration management of the OHSE in the ONPP.
摘要:
It is the fact that there are lots of hazard incidents in underground uranium mines caused by radon but in-suit uranium samples were difficult to collect. Based on closed chamber method, three similar samples in different sealed ways were made in a laboratory with different material rations, namely uranium tailings, quartz sand, cement, iron powder and silicon powder to measure the radon concentrations with and without low-frequency vibrations, which was used by the experimental device for low-frequency vibration diffusion of radon. The results showed that the radon exhalation coming from the similar samples was influenced by the low frequency vibration; the results are presented as two-stage variations compared with the blank group. The radon exhalation increased with the rising vibration frequency when the frequency was 50 to 70 Hz, but fell slowly after reaching the peak radon exhalation rate. Analyses of the relations between the rock damage degree, changes in porosity and the occurrence of an inflection point in the radon exhalation rate in the samples found that they also increased when the frequency was between 0 to 80 in sample 3. The maximum porosity of the third samples was about 4.8% with a low-frequency vibration 60 Hz, while the maximum damage degree was about 0.07 at 50 Hz.
摘要:
The radon exhalation rate and transfer radon velocity between liquid and gas under different temperature and humidity conditions are investigated. The fitting formulas of radon exhalation rate and temperature and humidity are exponential functions, and each exponent is a 2nd-order polynomial. The fitting formula of transfer radon velocity and temperature is Boltzmann function, and the velocity tends to be stable gradually at 25 °C. The fitting formula of transfer radon velocity and humidity is exponential function whose exponent is a 2nd order polynomial, and the velocity increases at first when the humidity was 0.75, then decreases with increasing humidity.
摘要:
Information security has become increasingly important with the rapid development of mobile devices and internet. An efficient encryption system is a key to this end. In this paper, we propose an image encryption method based on the cross diffusion of two chaotic maps. We use two chaotic sequences, namely the Logistic map and the Chebyshev map, for key generation which has larger security key space than single one. Moreover, we use these two sequences for further image encryption diffusion which decreases the correlation of neighboring pixels significantly. We conduct extensive experiments on several well-known images like Lena, Baboon, Koala, etc. Experimental results show that our algorithm has the characteristics of large key space, fast, robust to statistic attack, etc.

摘要:
Shaft stations of underground uranium mines in China are not only utilized as waiting space for loaded mine-cars queuing to be hoisted but also as the principal channel for fresh air taken to working places. Therefore, assessment of how mine-car queuing processes affect shaft station radon concentration was carried out. Queuing network of mine-cars has been analyzed in an underground uranium mine, located in Quzhou, Zhejiang province of Eastern China. On the basis of mathematical analysis of the queue network, a MATLAB-based quasi-random number generating program utilizing Monte-Carlo methods was worked out. Extensive simulations were then implemented via MATALB operating on a DELL PC. Thereafter, theoretical calculations and field measurements of shaft station radon concentrations for several working conditions were performed. The queuing performance measures of interest, like average queuing length and waiting time, were found to be significantly affected by the utilization rate (positively correlated). However, even with respect to the "worst case", the shaft station radon concentration was always lower than 200 Bq/m(3). The model predictions were compared with the measuring results, and a satisfactory agreement was noted. Under current working conditions, queuing-induced variations of shaft station radon concentration of the study mine are not remarkable.

摘要:
In this paper, we present the availability of an active pixel sensor (APS) with four transistors (4T) as a video monitor and radiation detector. Analyzing radiation damage must be one of the first steps in recovering from nuclear accidents, and the radiation response characteristic is the basis for the use of 4T-APS to detect radiation. The goal of this work is to suggest the use of cameras with 4T-APS in widely distributed irradiation detectors. The total ionizing dose (TID) of radiation damage on 4T-APS provided a threshold. Radiation tolerance was improved with the help of a radiation shielding structure. The radiation response showed integration time dependence and pixel information dependence, and greater radiation response was observed from the pixels with lower grayscale values. Two methods are suggested based on different monitoring scenes. This study can help to greatly improve nuclear accident emergency response and the safety of nuclear facilities.

Confident information coverage;Coverage hole detection;Sensor networks;Cyber-enabled applications
摘要:
The wireless sensor networks recently abstract great attention and are used for a wide range of cyberenabled applications each of which with rigid accuracy requirements. The emergence and existence of coverage holes in WSNs will dramatically degrade the network coverage performance and quality of service. To diminish the negative effects of coverage holes, this paper addresses and studies the confident information coverage hole detection problem (CICHD) based on the proposed novel confident information coverage model (CIC). For solving the CICHD problem, we design two effective heuristic CIC holes detection algorithms including the CHD without considering the nodes residual energy and the other CHDRE taking the nodes' residual energy into account. In the both proposed algorithms, the sensing field is firstly partitioned into a series of reconstruction grids based on the spatial correlation and correlation range. Then each reconstruction grid will be scanned and detected based on the CIC model to be judged whether it is a hole. Once obtaining the coverage status of every reconstruction grid, the boundary of the coverage hole will be exacted by image processing method. The results of the simulations show that both the proposed schemes can efficiently detect the emerged coverage holes including the locations and the number, and the CHDRE algorithm is more practical and efficient compared to the CHD without considering the energy problem.

摘要:
Cyanobacteria blooms have received increasing attention due to their role in causing serious economic losses and endangering human health, leading to illnesses or even death. Thus, their removal by effective means is very important. A new botanical flocculating agent, tannin, was prepared from pomegranate peel. The influence factor of pomegranate peel tannin on Microcystis aeruginosa removal, including volume fraction of acetone aqueous solution, ratios of material to solvent, extraction temperature, extraction time and the addition of pomegranate peel tannin, was also investigated to determine the best preparation condition. Under the optimal conditions, the removal efficiency of pomegranate peel tannin flocculant on M. aeruginosa cells was 94.22%, and the removal efficiency of the same concentration chemical tannin on M. aeruginosa cells was 95.95%. According to these results, tannin could effectively flocculate and remove M. aeruginosa cells.

摘要:
Uranium recovery from tailings is difficult because of the encapsulation of uranium by high content of gangue minerals. Uranium separation from gangue minerals has also been a key point in improving uranium extraction in the field of low-grade uranium resource recovery. This study proposed a high-efficiency alkali-pretreatment followed by acid leaching (two-step leaching) process for improving uranium extraction from uranium tailings. The main principle was to use a low concentration of alkaline solution to selectively comminute gangue minerals and to promote the formation of micropores in particles, providing a "path" for sulfuric acid to enter the interior of the uranium minerals. The effects of process parameters on uranium extraction and the changes in elemental composition, phase composition, morphology, and aperture of the tailings were investigated to show the mechanism of gangue comminution. Results showed that the uranium extraction percent without alkali pretreatment was only 63.91%, while it increased to 90.80% for the two-step leaching process under the same conditions. The low concentration of alkaline solution can selectively decompose gangue minerals, and dilute acid can then further reduce the degree of crystallinity of the silicates. Thus, a large number of mesopores in the tailings formed to improve the exposure ratio of uranium to the leaching agent. This new discovery may aid in the recovery of valuable metals from low-grade ore or tailings with high gangue content.
