Determination of the activity inventory and associated uncertainty quantification for the CROCUS zero power research reactor

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, DongHyuk Lee

The paper describes the source term estimation of CROCUS, the zero power research reactor of EPFL, to be used for dispersion analysis under accidental conditions. To fulfil regulatory requirements, the source term of the CROCUS fuel is estimated through Mo ...

Development and Application of Data Assimilation Methods in Reactor Physics

Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Simulations of nuclear reactor physics can disagree significantly from experimental evidence, even when the most accurate models are used. An important part of this bias from experiment is caused by nuclear data. The nuclear data have inherent uncertaintie ...

Unraveling Thermodynamics, Stability, and Oxygen Evolution Activity of Strontium Ruthenium Perovskite Oxide

Nicola Marzari, Ivano Eligio Castelli, Xi Cheng

Extensive investigations in understanding the functional mechanisms of metal oxides behind oxygen evolution have been carried out since an electrolyzer has demonstrated promising possibilities as a device to produce hydrogen for electrochemical energy conv ...

Mfn2 is critical for brown adipose tissue thermogenic function

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Joanna Ratajczak, Miriam Valera Alberni

Mitochondrial fusion and fission events, collectively known as mitochondrial dynamics, act as quality control mechanisms to ensure mitochondrial function and fine-tune cellular bioenergetics. Defective mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) expression and enhanced mitochondri ...

Biogenic non-crystalline U(IV) revealed as major component in uranium ore deposits

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani

Historically, it is believed that crystalline uraninite, produced via the abiotic reduction of hexavalent uranium (U-(VI)) is the dominant reduced U species formed in low-temperature uranium roll-front ore deposits. Here we show that non-crystalline U-(IV) ...

14 - Gelation and other innovative conversion processes for aqueous-based reprocessing and recycling of spent nuclear fuels

Manuel Alexandre Pouchon

This chapter summarizes different innovative fuel production techniques using the product streams from an aqueous reprocessing route with a focus on the well-known sol-gel conversion method. There is also reference to additional steps, post sol-gel convers ...

What Are the Best Materials To Separate a Xenon/Krypton Mixture?

Berend Smit, Cory Matthew Simon, Rocio Mercado, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell

Accelerating progress in the discovery and deployment of advanced nanoporous materials relies on chemical insight and structure-property relationships for rational design. Because of the complexity of this problem, trial-and-error is heavily involved in th ...

Large eddy simulation of particulate flow inside a differentially heated cavity

Michel Deville, Emmanuel Leriche, Christoph Bosshard, Alfredo Soldati, Abdelouahab Dehbi

In nuclear safety, some severe accident scenarios lead to the presence of fission products in aerosol form in the closed containment atmosphere. It is important to understand the particle depletion process to estimate the risk of a release of radioactivity ...

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 ...

Experimental tests of an advanced proton-to-neutron converter at ISOLDE-CERN

The suppression of isobaric contaminations is of growing importance for many scientific programs using radioactive isotopes produced at isotope separation on-line (ISOL) facilities, such as ISOLDE-CERN. A solid tungsten proton-to-neutron converter has been ...
