Miniature Fission Chambers Calibration in Pulse Mode: Interlaboratory Comparison at the SCK·CEN BR1 and CEA CALIBAN Reactors

Miniature fission chambers are suited tools for instrumenting experimental reactors, allowing online and in-core neutron measurements of quantities such as fission rates or reactor power. A new set of such detectors was produced by CEA to be used during th ...

Correction factors to apply to fission rates measured by miniature fission chambers in various neutron spectra

Vincent Pierre Lamirand

CEA develops and makes use of miniature fission chambers (MFCs, with radius down to 1.5 mm) for reactor physics conducted in experimental reactors such as EOLE and MINERVE zero power reactors (CEA Cadarache). When measuring fission rate, it is known that t ...

Linking bacterial population dynamics and nutrient removal in the granular sludge biofilm ecosystem engineered for wastewater treatment

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Noam Shani

Intensive nutrient removal from wastewater in anaerobic–aerobic systems using granular sludge should rely on optimal balances at biofilm and microbial ecology levels. This study targets the impacts of reactor characteristics and fluctuations in operation c ...

Understanding what limits biological phosphorus removal at Uster’s wastewater treatment plant

This study aims at better understanding what limits the biological phosphate removal at Uster’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Two hypotheses were proposed to explain the limited biological phosphate removal observed at Uster’s WWTP: (i) A heterogeneou ...

Consequences of the Thermal Transient on the Evolution of the Damaged Zone Around a Repository for Heat-Emitting High-Level Radioactive Waste in a Clay Formation: a Performance Assessment Perspective

Vincent Labiouse, Xing Li, Li Yu

A proper evaluation of the perturbations of the host rock induced by the excavation and the emplacement of exothermic wastes is essential for the assessment of the long-term safety of high-level radioactive waste disposals in clay formations. The impact of ...

Implementation of cell-free biological networks at steady state

Sebastian Maerkl, Henrike Marie Niederholtmeyer, Viktoria Stepanova

Living cells maintain a steady state of biochemical reaction rates by exchanging energy and matter with the environment. These exchanges usually do not occur in in vitro systems, which consequently go to chemical equilibrium. This in turn has severely cons ...

Recent progress in research on tungsten materials for nuclear fusion applications in Europe

Ho Ling Li, Nadine Baluc, Lyubomira Veleva, Antoine Cyril David Hoffmann

The current magnetic confinement nuclear fusion power reactor concepts going beyond ITER are based on assumptions about the availability of materials with extreme mechanical, heat, and neutron load capacity. In Europe, the development of such structural an ...

Recent progress of R&D activities on reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels

Nadine Baluc, Yong Dai

Several types of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel have been developed over the past 30 years in China, Europe, India, Japan, Russia and the USA for application in ITER test blanket modules (TBMs) and future fusion DEMO and power reactor ...

Electron-cyclotron-current-drive efficiency in DEMO plasmas

Laurie Porte, Emiliano Fable, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli, Giovanni Tardini

The achievable efficiency for external current drive through electron-cyclotron waves in a demonstration tokamak reactor is investigated. Two possible reactor designs, one for steady state and one for pulsed operation, are considered. Beam propagation, abs ...

Gamma-ray spectrometric measurements of fission rate ratios between fresh and burnt fuel following irradiation in a zero-power reactor

Rakesh Chawla

The gamma-ray activity from short-lived fission products has been measured in fresh and burnt UO2 fuel samples after irradiation in a zero-power reactor. For the first time, short-lived gamma-ray activity from fresh and burnt fuel has been compared and fre ...
