11.1 Introduction
After.the.terror.attack.on.the.World.Trade.Center.in.the.United.States,.safe-
guards. in. industrial. facilities. have. become. more. important.. The. nuclear.
industry.in.particular.has.been.interested.in.developing.a.better.method.for.
safe.operations.involving.nanoscale.nuclear.material..Increasing.the.power.
using. the. power. uprate. method. has. been. used. in. nuclear. power. plants.
(NPPs)..Currently,.the.demand.for.electricity.has.been.offset.by.increasing.
power. rates. in. conventional. NPPs.. New. construction. of. a. power. plant. is.
very.costly..As.an.alternative,.power.uprate.of.existing.NPPs.has.been.used.
frequently..Power.uprate.means.the.increase.of.the.maximum.power.level.at.
which.a.commercial.nuclear.power.plant.may.operate.
