Data-Driven Predictive Models: Calculational Bias in Characterization of Spent Nuclear Fuel

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 ...

Competitive Dehydrogenation and Backbone Fragmentation of Superhydrogenated PAHs: A Laboratory Study

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Robert Richter

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 ...

Insights into the microbial reduction of pentavalent and hexavalent uranium species by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas

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 ...

Element Selective Probe of the Ultra-Fast Magnetic Response to an Element Selective Excitation in Fe-Ni Compounds Using a Two-Color FEL Source

Eugenio Ferrari, Primoz Rebernik Ribic, David Gauthier

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 ...

Analysis of reactivity worths of burnt PWR fuel samples measured in LWR-PROTEUS Phase II using a CASMO-5 reflected-assembly model

Mathieu Hursin, Hakim Ferroukhi, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

The reactivity loss of PWR fuel with burnup has been investigated experimentally by measuring the reactivity worths of highly-burnt fuel samples in a PWR test lattice in the framework of the LWR-PROTEUS Phase II program. Seven UO2 samples cut from fuel rod ...

Influence of defect distribution on the reducibility of CeO2-x nanoparticles

Maria Chiara Spadaro

Ceria nanoparticles (NPs) are fundamental in heterogeneous catalysis because of their ability to store or release oxygen depending on the ambient conditions. Their oxygen storage capacity is strictly related to the exposed planes, crystallinity, density an ...

Broadband extreme ultraviolet probing of transient gratings in vanadium dioxide

Jakob Grilj

Nonlinear spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray spectral range offers the opportunity for element selective probing of ultrafast dynamics using core-valence transitions (Mukamel et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 42, 553 (2009)). We demonstrate ...

Validation of an MCNP4B whole-reactor model for LWR-PROTEUS using ENDF/B-V, ENDF/B-VI, and JEF-2.2 cross-section libraries

Rakesh Chawla, Fabian Jatuff, Michaël Plaschy

A detailed three-dimensional, continuous-energy MCNP4B model of the LWR-PROTEUS critical facility has been developed for the analysis of whole-reactor characteristics using ENDF/B-V, ENDF/B-VI and JEF-2.2 cross-section sets. The model has been applied to t ...

Enhanced critical current densities in (Bi, Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 silver-sheathed tapes by splayed columnar defects after 600 MeV proton irradiation

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 ...
