Shaken helical track bioreactors: Providing oxygen to high-density cultures of mammalian cells at volumes up to 1000L by surface aeration with air

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Xiuwei Zhang, Mathieu Benjamin Stettler

A new scalable reactor was developed by applying a novel mixing principle that allows the large-scale cultivation of mammalian cells simply with surface aeration using air owing to increased liquid–gas transfer compared to standard stirred-tank bioreactors ...

Modelling of fission gas behaviour in high burnup nuclear fuel

Paul Blair

The safe and economic operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires that the behaviour and performance of the fuel can be calculated reliably over its expected lifetime. This requires highly developed codes that treat the nuclear fuel in a general mann ...

Development and application of an advanced fuel model for the safety analysis of the generation IV gas-cooled fast reactor

Petr Petkevich

Until about the year 2030, current-day nuclear power plants (NPPs) will be replaced by so-called Gen-III or Gen-III+ units, which are mainly based on light water reactor technology. The principal new features are increased safety and improved economical ef ...

Characterisation of radial reaction rate distributions across the 92-pin section of a SVEA-96 Optima2 assembly

Rakesh Chawla, Fabian Jatuff, Michaël Plaschy

Characterisation of the SVEA-96 Optima2 boiling water reactor assembly, in terms of the radial distributions of normalised total fission and 238U capture rates, is reported at its central elevation, i.e. at the 92-pin section, where the one-third part-leng ...

Management of actinide waste inventories in nuclear phase-out scenarios

Rakesh Chawla, Marco Cometto

The improvement of the "radiological cleanliness" of nuclear energy is a primary goal in the development of advanced reactors and fuel cycles. The multiple recycling of actinides in advanced nuclear systems with fast neutron spectra represents a key option ...

Comparison of 3D reaction rate distributions measured in an optima2 BWR assembly with MCNPX predictions

Rakesh Chawla, Fabian Jatuff, Michaël Plaschy

As part of a joint research programme between the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and swissnuclear, with the co-operation of the Leibstadt nuclear power plant in Switzerland and fuel suppliers Westinghouse Sweden, measurements and calculations have been made ...

Interpretation of high-burnup fuel annealing tests

Rakesh Chawla, Paul Blair

The growth of the porosity in high-burnup fuel is of particular interest when considering the effect of fission gas retention within the high-burnup structure (HBS). A mechanistic model of porosity growth under annealing conditions for light water reactor ...

Non-intrusive plasma diagnostics for deposition of large area thin film silicon

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Benjamin Strahm

Plasma diagnostics for large area, industrial RF parallel-plate reactors can be useful for process optimization and monitoring, provided that their implementation is practical and non-intrusive. For instance, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption sp ...

Lattice anharmonicity in low-dimensional carbon systems

Nicola Marzari, Ramachandra Rao

The anharmonic properties of low-dimensional carbon crystal lattices are reviewed. The energy and crystal momentum conservation rules in two- and one-dimensional crystals lead to a drastic reduction of the phase space available for anharmonic phonon decay. ...

A Fast Thresholded Landweber Algorithm for General Wavelet Bases: Application to 3D Deconvolution Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch

Wavelet-domain

ℓ _{ 1 }

-regularization is a promising approach to deconvolution. The corresponding variational problem can be solved using a “thresholded Landweber” (TL) algorithm. While this iterative procedure is simple to implement, it is known to ...
