Characteristics of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are typically calculated, requiring validation a priori. The validation process relies on the difference between calculations and measurements, namely the bias. Usually, predicting the bias based on benchmark ...
Splayed columnar defects are efficient pinning centers for magnetic vortices in High-T-c Superconductors. Irradiation with 000 MeV protons as primary projectiles generates heavy fission fragments in (Bi, Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 via a p-Bi nuclear reaction. The ...
Using electrodeposition from a bath of molten fluorides, single crystals of tetragonal beta-tantalum have been obtained for the first time at normal pressure. The unit-cell parameters are a = 10.211 (3), c = 5.3064 (10) Angstrom, space group P (4) over bar ...
Integral measurements of 237Np capture and fission rates have been carried out relative to the 239Pu fission rate in two GCFR lattices with different neutron spectra. The results have been compared with calculated values based, respectively, on ENDF/B-IV a ...
Superhydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been suggested to catalyze the formation of H-2 in certain regions of space, but it remains unclear under which circumstances this mechanism is viable given the reduced carbon backbone stabilit ...
Decades of uranium-related activities such as ore mining, nuclear power generation, weapon manufacture, storage of nuclear wastes, have contributed to the release of U in the environment. U occurrence is concerning, since in surface environments, U is typi ...
The potential of the two-color mode implemented at the FERMI free-electron laser (FEL) source for pumping and probing selectively different atomic species has been demonstrated by time-resolved scattering experiments with permalloy (FeNi alloy) and NiFe2O4 ...
