Reactor Accident Analysis

Reactor accident analysis involves studying incidents at nuclear reactors to understand what went wrong and how to prevent future accidents. This process examines the technical failures, human errors, and safety systems that contributed to the event. Analysis often includes simulations, reviews of reactor design, and assessments of emergency protocols. By learning from past accidents, scientists and engineers develop better safety standards and improve reactor designs, ultimately aiming to ensure the safety of nuclear energy for both people and the environment. This helps build public trust and confidence in nuclear power as an energy source.
