报告摘要：
Nuclear power, with its low carbon nature, is a very effective measure to reduce global worming emissions. Enhancement of nuclear safety is one of the major issues to broaden the acceptance of nuclear power. In fact, the Taipower Company in Taiwan has proposed the Ultimate Response Guideline (URG) to deal with a Fukushima-like accident and natural sea water around the nuclear power plant may eventually be employed to cool the reactor.
This talk will present some of our recent studies on the quenching of hot objects, up to 1000 °C, in natural sea water and compared with that in de-ionized water. The rapid quenching in natural sea water demonstrates the beneficial side of using natural sea water as an alternative emergency coolant to enhance the safety of a nuclear power plant.
