Design and Numerical Analyses of the M4 Steering Mirrors for the ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launcher

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

Four electron cyclotron heating upper launchers (ECHULs) will be used at ITER to counteract magnetohydrodynamic plasma instabilities by targeting them with up to 24 MW of mm-wave power at 170 GHz. This mm-wave power is injected through eight ex-vessel (EV) ...

First Steps Towards The Development Of A 3D Nuclear Fuel Behavior Solver With Openfoam

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Alessandro Scolaro

A new 3D fuel behavior solver is currently under collaborative development at the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne and at the Paul Scherrer Institut. The long term objective is to enable a ...

Statistical Burnup Distribution Of Moving Pebbles In Htr-Pm Reactor

Andreas Pautz, Jiri Krepel, Fanny Vitullo, Horst-Michael Prasser

In the pebble-bed high temperature reactor under construction in China, called HTR-PM, the spherical fuel elements continuously flow downward in the cylindrical core. After the discharge, the burnup of each pebble is checked at the core outlet and, accordi ...

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 ...

Long-term in-situ oxidation of biogenic uraninite in an alluvial aquifer: impact of dissolved oxygen and calcium

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani, Daniel Scott Alessi

Oxidative dissolution controls uranium release to (sub)oxic pore waters from biogenic uraninite produced by natural or engineered processes, such as bioremediation Laboratory studies show that uraninite dissolution is profoundly influenced by dissolved oxy ...

Influence of composition on the morphology of polyurethane/acrylic latex particles and adhesive films

John Christopher Plummer, Costantino Creton

Polyurethane (PU)/acrylic hybrid particles with different PU contents were synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization and subsequently dried to give solid adhesive films. The morphologies of the particles and the morphologies and mechanical properties of t ...

Characterization of solvent-filled polyurethane/urea-formaldehyde core-shell composites

Véronique Michaud, Sam Neuser, Erica Manfredi

Encapsulation of liquid phases is a crucial step in many self-healing material systems where a healing agent has to be protected during processing and then released during a damage event. In this work, the mechanical properties of polyurethane (PU) reinfor ...

Thermodynamics, structure, and charge state of hydrogen-vacancy complexes in delta-plutonium

Michael Frederick Francis

Hydrogen-vacancy complexes can form in a material due to the exothermic binding of hydrogen atoms to vacancy sites. We explore the structure and electronic properties of hydrogen-vacancy complexes in delta-Pu using a density functional theory supercell app ...
