The need for accurate calculational tools for the determination of gamma heating in fast reactors has increased considerably in recent years following the planned modification of certain existing fast breeders into plutonium-burning configurations. The lat ...
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 ...
Boiling water reactor (BWR) stability analysis is usually carried out using large system codes. However, because of the large computational efforts required, such codes cannot in practice be employed for the detailed investigation of the complete manifold ...
With reactivity being the most important integral reactor physics quantity - and simultaneously the one that can be measured with the highest accuracy there is a great interest in understanding how possible space- and energy-dependent data and/or modeling ...
Light water reactor (LWR) neutronics codes and cross-section libraries need further qualification when used for the calculation of inert matrix fuel (IMF) cells. Three types of validation efforts have been undertaken for the PuO2-Er2O3-ZrO2 IMF concept und ...
A detailed MCNPX (version 2.4.0) model of the CROCUS zero-power critical facility was used to investigate the effect of nuclear data on the analysis of reactivity perturbations caused by variations in the moderator level. The analysis was performed using t ...
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 ...
There is an increasing interest by the flavor industry for producing natural aroma compds. through biocatalysts. L-Phenylalanine is transformed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae into 2-phenylethanol, which has a rose-like odor. Unfortunately this product inhibit ...
One of the main goals of the FAST project at PSI is to establish a unique analytical code capability for the core and safety analysis of advanced critical (and sub-critical) fast-spectrum systems for a wide range of different coolants. Both static and tran ...
A review with 55 refs. Oxygen is a key substrate in animal cell metab. It has been reported that the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) is a good indicator of cellular activity, and even under some conditions, a good indicator of the no. of viable cells. The measure ...
