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 ...
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 ...
This paper is the second part of a description of the online monitoring through ultrasound propagation velocity measurements of styrene polymn. in a continuous recycle reactor. A set of calibrations and a simple math. model are proposed to interpret the ex ...
A full-scale ozonation reactor was characterised with respect to the overall oxidation budget by coupling laboratory kinetics with reactor hydraulics. The ozone decomposition kinetics and the ratio of the OK radical to the ozone concentration were determin ...
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 ...
Reactor physics characteristics have been assessed for a range of mixtures of plutonium and different burnable poisons (BPs) from the viewpoint of providing a possible LWR fuel without uranium. A much higher potential for plutonium-inventory reduction than ...
A new reactor concept for catalyzed three-phase reactions based on the use of woven fibrous materials for bubble columns is suggested. In comparison to conventional multistage bubble columns, the trays are made from woven fibrous catalytic layers. The hydr ...
In reactor physics, a high degree of accuracy has been achieved regarding the calculation of steady-state reactors but the time dependent problems have not been so deeply investigated. Of course, many point (or space) kinetics programs have been developed, ...
The highly efficient Semliki Forest virus (SFV) system has been applied to express several recombinant 7TM receptors and ligand-gated ion channels. High affinity binding and functional coupling to G proteins were obtained for the receptors. The ligand-gate ...
The large quantities of reactor-grade (RG) and weapons-grade (WG) Pu accumulated worldwide could be reduced by employing 100% mixed-oxide (MOX) cores in light water reactors. The buildup of new Pu from the U present in the MOX, however remains disadvantage ...
