Saudi International Conference on Nuclear Power Engineering

Saudi International Conference on Nuclear Power Engineering (SCOPE) is a first-of-a-kind technical conference in the kingdom that will host world-renowned researchers and scientists to exchange their research and ideas to foster nuclear research and development.

Contribution

Dr. Naveed Iqbal made a presentation tilted "The Site Selection of  Nuclear Reactor Near The Oil And Gas Exploration Region" on Tuesday 14th of November 2023.

The abstract of the presentation

the site selection for a nuclear reactor is a crucial safety and security activity with escalating demands. The prospect of using seismic data to estimate the operational behavior of the nuclear reactor is intriguing. Visualization and analysis of continuous data recorded at a seismic station away from the reactor site can be helpful in this regard. In this work, we investigate the potential for inferring the impact of an operational reactor from seismic data acquisition. The obtained data exhibit an apparent relationship between seismic features and reactor primary operational frequency. The short-time frequency transform is utilized to analyze the frequency components. The outcomes are helpful in choosing the potential nuclear reactor site in an oil and gas-rich region.
