Radiation protection studies for CERN Linac4/SPL accelerator complex
CERN is presently designing a new chain of accelerators to replace the present Proton Synchrotron (PS) complex: a 160 MeV room-temperature H- linac (Linac4) to replace the present 50 MeV proton linac injector, a 3.5 GeV Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) t ...
EPFL2009Analysis of radioactivity releases in the MEGAPIE reference accident
A computer model for the MEGAwatt Pilot Target Experiment (MEGAPIE) was developed, verified and applied to the analysis of the reference accident, resulting from the hypothetical loss of a Pb–Bi inventory and subsequent cooling down of the target with free ...
2008Assessment of plastic flow and fracture properties with small specimen test techniques for IFMIF-designed specimens
Philippe Spätig, Nadine Baluc, Raul Alejandro Bonadé, Emiliano Campitelli
The primary mission of the international fusion material irradiation facility (IFMIF) is to generate a material database to be used for the design of various components, for the licensing and for the assessment of the safe operation of a demonstration fusi ...
2005Effect of hydrogen on the fracture toughness of the titanium alloys Ti6Al4V and Ti5Al2.5Sn before and after neutron irradiation
Titanium alloys are considered as potential candidate structural materials for the first wall, the blanket and the magnetic coil structures of fusion reactors. Titanium alloys are interesting materials because of their high specific strength and low elasti ...
2003Gene expression analysis of osteoblastic cells contacted by orthopedic implant particles
Particles generated from orthopedic implants through years of wear play an essential role in the aseptic loosening of a prosthesis. We have investigated the biocompatibility of these orthopedic particles on different osteoblast-like cells representative of ...
2002Structural materials for fusion reactors
In order to preserve the conditions for an environmentally safe machine, at present the selection of materials fur the structural components of fusion reactors is made not only on the basis of adequate mechanical properties, behaviour under irradiation, an ...
2001Tensile and fatigue properties of two titanium alloys as candidate materials for fusion reactors
Titanium alloys have been identified as candidate structural materials for the first wall, the blanket and the magnetic coil structures of fusion reactors. Titanium alloys are interesting materials because of their high specific strength and low elastic mo ...
