Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties of Na3LnMn3O3(AsO4)3 (Ln = La, Sm, and Gd): A New 3d-4f Series Exhibiting One-Dimensional Manganese(III) Oxide Chains Connected via LnO9 Units

In attempts to synthesize compds. contg. mixed lanthanide and transition metal oxide magnetic nanostructures, a new 3d-4f arsenate phase, Na3GdMn3O3(AsO4)3, was isolated using high-temp., molten-salt methods. The X-ray single-crystal structure anal. shows ...

EQL3D: ERANOS based equilibrium fuel cycle procedure for fast reactors

Konstantin Mikityuk, Jiri Krepel

The advanced fast reactors of the fourth generation should be capable to breed their own fuel from poorly fissile 238U and to recycle the actinides from their own spent fuel. However, this recycling or actually the closure of fuel cycle has negative impact ...

Radial and azimuthal 235U fission and 238U capture distributions in BWR UO2 pins: CASMO-4 and MCNP4C versus activation foil measurements

Rakesh Chawla, Fabian Jatuff, Michaël Plaschy

In the context of the LWR-PROTEUS program, radial and azimuthal 235U fission (F5) and 238U capture (C8) rate distributions have been calculated for zero-burnup pins of a Westinghouse SVEA-96 Optima2 boiling water reactor fuel assembly using the stochastic ...

BWR stability and bifurcation analysis using reduced order models and system codes: Identification of a subcritical Hopf bifurcation using RAMONA

Rakesh Chawla, Abdelhamid Dokhane

The system code RAMONA, as well as a recently developed BWR reduced order model (ROM), are employed for the stability analysis of a specific operational point of the Leibstadt nuclear power plant. This has been done in order to assess the ROM's applicabili ...
