Study of contaminants in plasmas during decommissioning processes
(2020-12-01)
With the intention of eventual development of on-site radionuclide capture technologies, methods to simulate radionuclide behaviour when contaminated components are subjected to plasma-based decommissioning processes are ...
Experimental investigations of thermodynamic properties of the LiF –CsF binary system and FliNaK
(2020-07-01)
Generation IV nuclear power technologies, including various molten salt reactor designs are considered to accommodate growing energy needs with minimal impact on the environment. The development of the molten salt reactor ...
Environmental impact of zebra mussel controls in nuclear power plants
(2020-04-01)
Industries that rely on the Great Lakes for cooling have battled the zebra mussel infestation for years. With increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability, decision-makers need to consider more than just monetary ...
Towards low dose retrospective dosimetry on shelled species
(2020-08-01)
This work investigates calcified tissues of shelled species for retrospective dosimetry using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. To determine applicable samples for low dose studies, shells of crustacean ...
Local dose coefficients for radionuclide contamination in wounds
(2020-05-01)
The objective of this research is to create local dose coefficients for radionuclide contaminated wounds to accompany dose coefficients obtained by Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education looking at whole body effects ...
Planning and optimization of nuclear-renewable micro hybrid energy systems for off-grid applications
(2020-11-01)
Resilient operation of medium/large scale off-grid energy systems is a key challenge for energy crisis solutions, which requires continuous and sustainable energy resources. In this context, microreactors are incorporated ...
Specifics of forced-convection heat transfer in a vertical 7-element bundle cooled with upward flow of SuperCritical Water
(2020-08-17)
Current Generation II/III/III+ Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) are no longer economically competitive partially due to low thermal efficiencies.
Six Generation IV NPP concepts were proposed having increased thermal efficiency, ...
