The requisite wiring and electrical equipment, built for the air-conditioned sterile space of a server room, do not always withstand conditions underground.
Companies are verifying each power station's capability to withstand conditions that result from severe events, including the loss of significant operational and safety systems.
When the nuclear industry says that it can withstand conditions "beyond that historically reported," we should want to know a lot more, according to three researchers at the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Reseatch Center at Stanford.
Systems are currently designed using a mixture of local and international standards such that they can withstand conditions with a sufficient margin of safety.
One of most important features of polymer-polymer composites, in particular of PANI-containing composites, is probably their ability to withstand conditions of common treatments, which are typically applied to produce different articles.
The new "stretchy," rubber-like optical fiber created by the team can be stretched and bent, and is made almost entirely of water in the form of hydrogel, meaning it can better withstand conditions in the human body without damaging its surroundings.
