Sites about specific accidents should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory for that accident, if one exists. Sites expressing general concern about nuclear power, nuclear energy, nuclear materials or nuclear weapons should be listed in Society/Issues/Environment/Nuclear or related categories. Consulting companies should submit to Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Nuclear/Consulting. Before submitting a site, be sure to read the category description. Please submit to an appropriate subcategory, if one is available. Otherwise, submit here. Failure to submit to the most specific appropriate category can delay the consideration of your submission. For more information, please refer to the DMOZ Science FAQ. |
Topics include reactor safety, probabilistic and deterministic safety assessments, nuclear materials safety, accident analysis, accident simulation, safety in other aspects of the use of nuclear energy, and accounts of past nuclear accidents.

This category is for sites concerned with the nuclear accident that happened on April 25, 1986 in Chernobyl in the former USSR (now Ukraine).
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant located 80 miles north of Kiev had 4 reactors and whilst testing reactor number 4 numerous safety procedures were disregarded. At 01:23am the chain reaction in the reactor became out of control creating explosions and a fireball which blew off the reactor's heavy steel and concrete lid.
The Chernobyl accident killed more than 30 people immediately, and as a result of the high radiation levels in the surrounding 20-mile radius, 135'000 people had to be evacuated.

Before submitting a site, be sure to read the category description. Consulting companies that do not develop nuclear related computer codes should submit to Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Nuclear/Consulting. Please submit to an appropriate subcategory, if one is available. Otherwise, submit here. Failure to submit to the most specific appropriate category can delay the consideration of your submission. For more information, please refer to the DMOZ Science FAQ. |
This category is for sites concerned with computer codes dedicated to nuclear safety, reliability data processing, risk and source-term quantification, accident simulation, decay heat calculation, fission product release and transport, radiological impact.

This category is for sites that present substantive information on Level 1, 2 and 3 Probabilisitc Safety Assessment. Sites with more general safety concerns should be submitted to the parent category. Consulting companies should submit to Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Engineering/Nuclear/Consulting. Before submitting a site, be sure to read the category description. Please submit to an appropriate subcategory, if one is available. Otherwise, submit here. Failure to submit to the most specific appropriate category can delay the consideration of your submission. For more information, please refer to the DMOZ Science FAQ. |
This category is for sites concerned with Probabilisitc Safety Assessment (PSA), or Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA), risk monitoring and related applications.

This categegory is for sites concerned with the criticality accident that happened on September 30, 1999 in the Tokaimura nuclear fuel processing plant, Japan, when a combination of human errors and breaches of the approved safety guidelines resulted in a limited uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction, or nuclear criticality, triggering the emission of radiation and the release of radioactive material into the air in the facility.
