“…However, the critical aspects of nuclear energy (viz. nuclear waste management, nuclear risk, externalities, public acceptance) 77 , which may overturn the conclusions on the suitability of nuclear-based hydrogen, are out of the scope of the present analysis. Among the hydrogen alternatives (i.e., excluding the BaU), the scenario based on electrolytic hydrogen from the grid electricity (PEME_2040) leads to the highest impacts in all of the PBs, except for those PBs whose impacts are driven mostly by biomass cultivation (i.e., in the N flow and biosphere integrity PBs).…”

“…The combined guarantee rate of wind and solar energy is higher from March to July and is lower in other months (Chao et al, 2014). To manage the conflict between air pollution and an increasing electricity demand, the Chinese central government has chosen the option of building nuclear power plants along the coast of the Bohai Sea (Qi et al, 2020). Therefore, the new energies in nearshore areas in the Bohai Sea are wind farms, photovoltaic plants, and nuclear power plants or platforms that are operated, under construction, and planned.…”

To provide basic drift-ice parameters for new-energy structures in ice-infested nearshore waters, an estimation method of the design drift-ice concentration and floe area was established. A total of 700 satellite images in winters from 2010 to 2021 were used to obtain the drift-ice concentration and floe area from 26 sites in the Bohai Sea. The floe area with 90% cumulative probability was selected as the characteristic floe area in each satellite image. Furthermore, the water temperature threshold ranging from −1.6 °C to −0.5 °C was adopted by considering the drift-ice freezing/melting states because of different salinity values in nearshore waters. The upper limit values of the ice concentration and characteristic floe area at the lowest water temperature of −1.6 °C were finally used as the design drift-ice indexes. The maximum design ice concentrations (floe area) in the Liaodong Bay, Bohai Bay, and Laizhou Bay were 96% (0.43 km2), 91% (0.39 km2), and 87% (0.29 km2), respectively. The design ice concentration at the bay bottom was higher than that near the mouth. The design floe area in the Liaodong Bay and Bohai Bay increased with latitudes, but the trend was opposite in the Laizhou Bay. The method developed in the current study has universal applicability, which can be extended to other ice-cover waters and specific structure designs by adjusting the cumulative probability threshold and the water temperature threshold.

Summary The Extensive Damage Mitigation Guideline (EDMG), which was developed by the U.S. Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) owing to the motivation of 911 terrorist attacks and not allowed to spread before the Fukushima nuclear accident, was publicly available after Fukushima nuclear accident and paid attention to worldwide. Many countries have adopted the U.S. EDMG methodology and developed their strategies (some are not called EDMG but have similar functions), planning to introduce it into the emergency plans of their domestic nuclear power plants (NPPs). Based on the defense‐in‐depth (DID) concept of nuclear safety, the experience of the Fukushima nuclear accident, and the state‐of‐the‐art of EDMGs research, this paper will give a comprehensive review of EDMG. To illustrate the reason for the introduction of EDMG into the traditional NPP procedures/guidelines, the review work started from the perspective of DID in nuclear safety and the reason for the Fukushima nuclear accident from the viewpoint of DID, which showed the weaknesses of DID implementation strategy ‐ underestimation of the damage during a beyond‐design‐basis external event (BDBEE). EDMG is crucial complementary for the old framework of procedures/guidelines to enhance the concept of DID. The research progress of EDMG in different countries has been reviewed and a rough comparison has been made among them according to the present state‐of‐the‐art from literature. The methodology of EDMG is summarized as follows: (a) Loss of Large Area (LOLA) ‐ the originally designed scenario for EDMG; (b) elements of EDMG ‐ the summarized contents for EDMG implementation; (c) classification of EDMG ‐ initial response EDMGs and Technical Support Center (TSC) response EDMGs; (d) implementation of EDMG‐introduction of three phases of EDMG implementation step by step. Furthermore, three typical methods to integrate EDMG into the traditional procedures/guidelines are reviewed. Finally, this paper gives some concluding remarks for EDMG‐related critical issues and recommended future work, which may be challenges for the development and application of EDMG and useful for the related researchers. Novelty Statement The studies of the extensive damage mitigation guideline (EDMG), its methodology, and the progress in different countries have been reviewed. Three typical methods to integrate EDMG into the traditional procedures/guidelines are summarized and reviewed. Concluding remarks for EDMG‐related critical issues and recommended future work are summarized.
