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 ...
Accidental water ingress in pebble-bed type, high temperature reactor (HTR) cores can result in large positive reactivity changes and in consequent reductions in shutdown margins, since such systems generally tend to be undermoderated. The prediction of su ...
The microstructure of the F82H steel that is a candidate for the future fusion reactor first wall is investigated. Protons as well as fission neutrons are used to simulate the irradiation effects of the fusion environment. The differences in the He product ...
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 ...
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 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 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 ...
An effective way to reduce the large quantities of Pu currently accumulated worldwide would be to use uranium-free fuel in light water reactors (LWRs) so that no new Pu is produced. Such a possibility could be provided by an LWR fuel consisting of Pu in a ...
A novel membrane reactor with two zones containing structured filamentous catalytic beds was proposed for propane nonoxidative dehydrogenation. Catalytic filaments with a similar to7 similar to mum diameter consist of silica cove-red by porous alumina with ...
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 ...
