About the session

This presentation covers: assessing the scale of a ground-level event, including work on nuclear reactors with DECC and EDF Energy; modelling to estimate ground-level neutron fluences (and fluence rates) out to a 1-in-10,000 year probability of occurrence; and exploring the effects of extreme ground-level events on nuclear reactor controls and other digital control systems.
