Nonuniform radio-frequency plasma potential due to edge asymmetry in large-area radio-frequency reactors

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Laurent Fabien Hubert Sansonnens, Juliette Ballutaud

In small area capacitive reactors, the rf and dc components of the plasma potential can be assumed to be uniform over all the plasma bulk because of the low plasma resistivity. In large area reactors, however, the rf plasma potential can vary over a long r ...

Zirconium nitride as inert matrix for fast systems

Manuel Alexandre Pouchon, Marco Streit

Zirconium nitride has been proposed as inert matrix material to burn plutonium or to transmute long-lived actinides in accelerator-driven sub-critical systems or fast reactors. In combination with the possibility to fabricate specially shaped fuel pellets, ...

Effect 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 ...

Interpretation of experimental results from moderate-power in-pile testing of a Pu-Er-Zr-oxide inert matrix fuel

Rakesh Chawla

Pu-Er-Zr oxide as an inert matrix fuel (IMF) could be an attractive option for a once-through LWR strategy aimed at reducing the currently growing plutonium stockpiles. A basic question related to the practical introduction of such an IMF into a current-da ...

Comparison of fully coupled approaches for approximating nonlinear transport and reaction problems

David Andrew Barry

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the computational efficiency of fully coupled approaches for approximating a common class of nonlinear, two-phase advective–dispersive– reactive equations. The general problem considered includes homogeneous phase ch ...

One-step vapor-phase synthesis of 2-methyl-1-naphthol from 1-tetralone

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi

A one-step reaction scheme is proposed for prepn. of 2-methyl-1-naphthol from 1-tetralone. The process includes two fixed-bed reactors in line or a single reactor with a double-layered or mixed catalytic bed. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is to ...
