What are V1 and V2? How they are connected? What is the harm in opening F/M vault door during reactor operation? |
|
Answer» The reactor building is divided into two areas. They are V1 and V2. V1 – Dry volume area. V2 – Wet volume area. V1 area includes F/M vault, boiler room, and entire dome area. Rest of the areas in the reactor building is V2 area. V1 and V2 are connected by vent shaft through suppression pool. F/M vault is a V1 area and F/M maintenance bay is a V2 area. Usually when there is an accident in F/M vault the pressure is relieved through boiler room through suppression pool and the uncondensed gases to V2 area. When the reactor is in operation and if we open the F/M vault door, suppose of there is an accident in F/M vault the pressure released directly goes to F/M maintenance area, which is a V2 area. Thus pressurizing the entire building. |

In MAPS Unit # 1 end-shield cooling system has got heaters. Why? |
|
Answer» Unit # 1 end-shield is made of nickel steel, which had a nil ductility temperature of -100°C while commissioning. After 30 years of operation this will rise to +32°C, because of radiation exposure. To avoid the failure of end shield of MAPS Unit # 1 the temperature of the end-shield should be maintained at 68°C always. MAPS 1 end-shield cooling system is operating at elevated temperature. But in MAPS Unit #2 this problem is not existed because in this unit end-shields are made up of stainless steel. |

Which of the following material is good moderator? Why? |
|
Answer» a. H2 b. D2 c. H2O d. D2O e. Beryllium f. Graphite. The functions of a good moderator are . a. It has to thermalise neutrons effectively. b. There should be only a minimum absorption of neutrons. c. It should not be toxic. d. It should not be inflammable. In case of Hydrogen (H2) though it is a effective sheatherer it cannot be used as a moderator because it is a gas and there is a lot of distance between atoms. A neutron cannot meet the nucleus in a definite manner. For D2 also the same problem as this is also gas and it cannot be used as a moderator. In case of H2O it is a good scatterer but is absorbs neutrons. Its moderation ratio is 72. So it cannot be used as a moderator. In case of D2O though it is not as effective scatterer as that of H2O it has minimum absorption of neutrons. It has a moderating ratio of 21000. This is an ideal moderator. In case of Beryllium it is a toxic material. Therefore cannot be used. Graphite absorbs neutrons and is inflammable and therefore cannot be used. So from the above statements the D2O is the good moderator material. |

The activity of an Iodine – 131 is 10 curies. After how many half-lives will it come down to 625 millicuries? |
|
Answer» Activity of an Iodine – 131 = 10 curies To find number of half-lives for coming it to 625 millicuries, 10 * 1st | = 5 (1st half-life) 5* | = 2.5 (2nd half-life) 2.5 * | = 1.25 (3rd half-life) 1.25 * | = 0.625 (4th half-life) So during 4th half-life the Iodine – 131 reduces to 625 millicuries. |

What makes India more vulnerable do disasters? |
|
Answer» Its geographical location and geological formation make India more vulnerable to disasters. Its long coastline, snow-covered peaks and high mountain ranges and the perennial rivers of the north combine to make the problems worse. India has only 2% of the total geographical area, but it supports 18% of the total population. So, there is a great pressure on the natural resources. This directly or indirectly leads to disasters like floods, droughts, landslides and earthquakes. |

What is function overloading? Explain the need for overloading. |
|
Answer» The overloading helps to apply polymorphism because Function overloading means two or more functions having same name but different types of arguments or different number of arguments. Whereas polymorphism refers to “one name having many forms of an object behavior depending on situations. Function overloading is normally used when several functions of the same name perform identical tasks on different data types. The overloading function helps to reduce the use of different names for many functions. The developer of the program can use one function name to give function call to one in many functions and C++ select the appropriate function by checking the number of parameter and type of parameters. This reduces the selecting a function block to give a function call by the user. It is easier to understand the flow of information that helps in faster debug. Easy program maintenance. There can be a common interface between programs and real-world objects. |
