Synchrotron radiation-induced total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis was used for the trace element analysis of steels exploited in the construction of core components of existing fission plants and future fusion power plants. Detection of tra ...
F82H low-activation martensitic steel was irradiated in the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) Target-III to irradiation doses of 10-12 dpa in a temperature range of 140-360 degreesC. Transmission electron microscope observations have been performed to ...
A new calculational scheme has been developed for the accurate assessment of gamma heating in fast reactors, its special feature being the determination of the gamma source distribution that is formulated in a near-to-exact manner. The improved methodology ...
Utilising fuel resources responsibly, reducing waste volume and emissions as well as conflict potentials within the international community (non-proliferation, energy demand) are among the principles for the judgment of sustainable development. Utilising a ...
A theor. anal. is presented for the prediction of the specific energy consumption and the required electrode surface for the electrochem. combustion of org. compds. on synthetic B-doped diamond thin film electrodes. The model is formulated for a perfect mi ...
There are three categories of basic fuel cycle needs, which are being addressed by the different types of inert matrix fuel (IMF) concepts currently under development. These are: plutonium burning in existing LWRs, plutonium burning in fast reactors and mi ...
We describe a new general method to perform part of the setup stage of the XTR system introduced at Crypto 2000 (see Lenstra, A.K. and Verheul, E.R., Proc. Crypto 2000, Lect. Notes in Comp. Science, vol.1880, p.1-19, 2000), namely finding the trace of a ge ...
Industry requires continuously new chemical processes to convert raw materials to valuable products limiting the formation of by-products. Since a few years, an increasing interest has been given to the intensification of chemical processes. This represent ...
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 ...
The experimentally observed rise in the single pass methanol production with CO2 and H-2 (T = 200 degreesC, P = 4.3 bar) by in situ product removal over a perm-selective Nafion (R) membrane is verified by model simulations. For this purpose, software was d ...
