The reactions of arene-metal complexes (arene = p-cymene, benzene or pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, metal = Ru, Rh or Os), including 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1]decanephosphine (pta) and chloro co-ligands, with 9-methylguanine, adenine, and a ser ...
A zirconia-based fuel is studied for use of plutonium in light water reactors. Among the relevant properties for a nuclear fuel, efficient retention of fission products is required since the fuel matrix constitutes the first barrier against fission product ...
High-resolution gamma spectroscopy was performed on individual fuel rods of a fresh, highly heterogeneous Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel assembly, after irradiation at low power in the PROTEUS reactor at PSI, to determine the ratio of neutron captures in ...
Fuel rods with burnup values beyond 50GWd/t are characterised by relatively large amounts of fission products and a high abundance of major and minor actinides. Of particular interest is the change in the reactivity of the fuel as a function of burnup and ...
Charge-transfer (CT) salts such as copper-2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (CuDDQ) are promising components of reversible resistive memory switching devices. In the study presented here, we report on the composition of CuDDQ layers grown from aceton ...
The management of radioactive wastes from the nuclear fuel cycle has become an important issue in the development of future, more sustainable nuclear energy systems. Partitioning and transmutation (P&T) of actinides and some long-lived fission products cou ...
The retention behaviour of fission products in the material is therefore of special importance. 1 MeV iodine and cesium ions were implanted into yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their depth profile was measured by Rutherford Backscattering after subseq ...
One of the principal research axes related to nuclear energy concerns the management of nuclear wastes. In this context, certain innovative pathways are being explored to provide options which could lead to a major reduction of the quantities of radioactiv ...
The reaction-rate ratio C8/Ftot, neutron captures in 238U to total fissions, has been measured in 80 out of 96 fuel rods of a Westinghouse SVEA-96+ boiling water reactor fuel assembly. High-resolution gamma spectroscopy was performed on individual fuel rod ...
The current investigation, conducted in the general framework of the MUSE program ("MUltiplication avec une Source Externe"), considers the representativity of a specific configuration of its fourth phase (M4SC2), which is driven by an external D(d,n)He3 o ...
