(EnergyAsia, May 21 2010, Friday) --- Publisher Taylor & Francis together with the Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES) recently discussed the potential of nuclear power in Singapore in their latest issue of The ‘IES Journal Part A: Civil & Structural Engineering’ (Volume 3, Number 1, 2010).
Written by Andrew Palmer, Seeram Ramakrishna and Hassan Muzaffar Cheema from the Department of Civil Engineering, National University of Singapore, the article, Nuclear Power in Singapore, examines the possibility and challenges of building and operating a nuclear power plant in Singapore.
The article also examines the constraints of having a nuclear power station and how these can be resolved in the light of successful nuclear developments elsewhere. It also considers the possibility of building underground and offshore plants.
The IES Journal Part A: Civil & Structural Engineering is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication and rapid dissemination of original research and developments in civil and structural engineering.
Its papers cover a wide range of issues including structural, geotechnical, water resources, environmental, and infrastructure engineering. The journal includes mathematical formulations, novel methods and solutions in construction techniques, experimental investigations and practical applications. It maintains an international outlook whilst having a strong focus on primary research and development works from Asia.
The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) was established in July 1966 as the national society of engineers in Singapore.
Taylor & Francis is part of Informa, one of the world’s leading publishers of academic journals. It is dedicated to the dissemination of scholarly information, drawing on expertise developed since first publishing learned journals in 1798.
