Excellent operating indexes of the existing nuclear power plants and the capability of independent design, manufacture, construction and operation are briefly enumerated. There are over thirty nuclear power plant sites in the coastal and inland areas, which have been checked or preevaluated. This proves that a solid foundation for large-scaled development of nuclear power industry has been laid and nuclear power will certainly play an important role in power supply and environment protection of China.展开更多

The 4,500-year old Egyptian pyramids at Giza are buildings to learn from. This paper tries to pin down the reasons for the survival of the Giza pyramids in order to reach a criterion for choosing sites for important buildings. It argues that the site selection and the geological properties of the area, being away from seismic effects,, floods and groundwater levels, the stability of the geometric form of the pyramid, the solidity of the structural engineering and precision of execution arguably are the reasons why the Great Pyramids of Giza are the only survivors of the seven wonders of the ancient world.展开更多

It can manage, analyze and process the data in the monthly report of ocean wave observation records of the State Ocean Administration, and can provide various kinds of curves and numerical characters of statistics. This system has been put into utility in Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion (GIEC), the Chinese Academy of Sciences since 1996. An application example is given of the investigation and analysis on ocean wave resource of the Nan Ao Island, Guangdong Province, where a 100 kW onshore OWC (oscillating water column) wave power station will be built. The wave power distribution is obtained in different wave directions for different wave periods. It is found that 70 percent of the wave power comes from the direction of ENE, and more than 95 percent of the wave power is related with direction E. The average wave power density is about 3 kW/m, and more than 80 percent of the wave power is distributed in the wave periods of 4 second to 5 second. Based on the analysis of wave resources, a site on the east coast of the island and a design width of 20 m for the 100 kW station are suggested.展开更多

However, expansion of hydropower resources islimited, and with growing population and demand for electricity, the government of Uganda is considering integration of nuclearpower into its energy mix. With the current and projected grid capacity, SMR （small modular reactor） technology is attractive sincecapacity can be added incrementally. This paper therefore presents results for SMR site selection in Uganda. Starting with twentyregional areas established by the Ugandan government, a site selection process is outlined which uses four levels of screening andranking. First, exclusion criteria including seismicity, volcanic activity, water resources, and transportation distances were applied.This reduced the potential regional areas down to eight. Next, MAUT （multi-attribute utility theory） weighting was assigned to theseeight areas for： （1） distance to large population centers, （2） ease of transportation, and （3） distance to seismically or volcanically activeareas. From this ranking, four regional areas stood out and were then selected. These regions were then compared using variousattributes including access to water and integration with the developing national grid. In the final step, the lead candidate region wassubdivided into subzones to further refine the selection process.展开更多
突发性自然灾害经常对大型工程的建筑与生产设施造成重大损失,而受损设施的维修和重建过程常出现物资供给不足、物资供给效率低以及物资分配公平性等问题。本文以某大型光伏电站为依托,从应急物资节点选址影响因素入手,建立受突发性灾...突发性自然灾害经常对大型工程的建筑与生产设施造成重大损失,而受损设施的维修和重建过程常出现物资供给不足、物资供给效率低以及物资分配公平性等问题。本文以某大型光伏电站为依托,从应急物资节点选址影响因素入手,建立受突发性灾害作用后的应急物资节点选址评价指标系统,采用AHP-CRITIC(analyt⁃ic hierarchy process-criteria importance through intercriteria correlation)组合赋权法实现应急物资存放点选址评价结果的计算。同时,基于研究区内部路网开展大型光伏场地路口至多物资存储节点的最优路径研究,并采用GIS(geographic information system)技术求解出最短运输路径。结果表明:该大型光伏场地应急物资节点选址评价结果等级为“好”与“较好”的区域主要分布在研究区北部,占总面积的33.38%;基于最短运输路径原则通过综合对比线路总长与重复路线占比,由入口3出发至各应急物资节点的路径为最优路线。研究成果可为类似大型工程的安全运营和应急管理提供技术支持和参考。展开更多
