Nuclear power is a powerful technology that plays an important role in the fight against climate change, and research is continuously engaged in studies that could further improve its safety. After the Fukushima accident, Accident Tolerant Fuels research h ...
We present direct local-probe evidence for strongly hybridized nuclear-electronic spin states of an Ising ferromagnet LiHoF4 in a transverse magnetic field. The nuclear-electronic states are addressed via a magnetic resonance in the GHz frequency range usi ...
This chapter begins with a short overview of the historical development of the ferritic/martensitic steels for nuclear energy systems, followed by a section that outlines the numerous nuclear applications where this type of steels are currently used or for ...
Nuclear fusion power plants require electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (H&CD) systems for plasma heating and stabilization. High-power microwave beams between 1 and 2?MW generated by gyrotrons propagate in a dedicated waveguide transmission ...
The formation and growth of cracks by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in light water reactor internals is a critical issue for a safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The IASCC susceptibility at relatively low dose is dom ...
The subject of the present PhD thesis is the qualitative, interdisciplinary analysis of the impact of earthquake insurance on earthquake risk territories in Japan. On the one hand, the Japanese Earthquake Insurance System (JEI) will be analyzed; on the oth ...
The use of unmanned aerial systems for civilian search-and-rescue operations or disaster management is not new. Predators drones, commonly associated with military operations, were used in the aftermath of the hurricane Katrina in the United States; rotary ...
In recent years, the advancements of wireless technologies have led to rapid developments in the field of telecommunication, power delivery and bio-medical applications. During the evolution of a wireless technology, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) ...
This paper presents a game-theoretic model of a liberalized railway industry in which train operation and ownership of infrastructure is fully vertically separated. The objective of this paper is to analyze how the regulatory agency will socially optimal s ...
