Embrittlement induced by the synergistic effects of radiation damage and helium in structural steels

Ferritic/martensitic steels are candidate materials for fusion reactor structural components, liquid metal containers of spallation neutron sources, and accelerator driven systems, with good radiation resistance and thermo-mechanical properties. However, e ...

Intensification of highly exothermic fast reaction by multi-injection microstructured reactor

Albert Renken, John Richard Thome, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Navid Borhani, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Microstructured reactors (MSR) with characteristic dimensions below 100 μm are warranted to maintain close to isothermal conditions when carrying out quasi-instantaneous highly exothermic reactions. Unfortunately, such small dimensions increase the risk of ...

Speciation and reactivity of uranium products formed during in situ bioremediation in a shallow alluvial aquifer

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Daniel Scott Alessi

In this study, we report the results of in situ U(VI) bioreduction experiments at the Integrated Field Research Challenge site in Rifle, Colorado, USA. Columns filled with sediments were deployed into a groundwater well at the site and, after a period of c ...

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

Vincent Pierre Lamirand

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 ...

The Scientific Case for a JET D-T Experiment

Henri Weisen

After the first high power D-T experiment in JET in 1997 (DTE1), when JET was equipped with Carbon PFC's, a proposed second high power (up to similar to 40MW) D-T campaign (DTE2) in the current Be/W vessel will address essential operational, technical, dia ...

Heat Management for Process Intensification of Fast Exothermic Reactions in Microstructured Reactors

Julien Haber

Nowadays, the production in fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is mostly carried out in large scale batch reactors having typically dimensions of a few meters to satisfy the demand of the market. Even though this technology has been widely used and ...

Multi-injection microstructured reactor for intensification of fast exothermic reactions: proof of concept

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Quasi-instantaneous exothermic reactions lead to the formation of unwanted hot spots even when carried out in conventional microstructured reactors (MSR) with tube diameter of 100 − 1000 μm. For this reason, alternative MSR designs are warranted to enable ...

Funnelling of rf current via a plasmoid through a grid hole in an rf capacitive plasma reactor

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Michaël Chesaux

The boundaries of capacitively coupled radio-frequency (rf) plasma reactors generally include at least one grounded metal grid or perforated plate for purposes of gas flow or diagnostic access. When increasing the rf power, an intense localized plasma (a p ...

Bromate catalytic reduction in continuous mode using metal catalysts supported on monoliths coated with carbon nanofibers

Lioubov Kiwi

Nitrogen-doped and un-doped carbon nanofibers layers, denoted as N-CNFs and CNFs respectively, coating the walls of cordierite monoliths have been used as support for Pd and Ru catalyst. They have been tested in bromate reduction in batch and continuous op ...

On the formation of stacking fault tetrahedra in irradiated austenitic stainless steels – A literature review

Robin Schäublin, Raluca Schibli

Irradiated austenitic stainless steels, because of their low stacking fault energy and high shear modulus, should exhibit a high ratio of stacking fault tetrahedra relative to the overall population of radiation induced nanometric defects. Experimental obs ...
