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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Analysis and optimal planning of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems for ships
(2021-06-01)
Ocean-going ships are one of the sources of global GHG emissions. Several actions are being taken to reduce the GHG emissions from maritime vessels, and integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is one of them. Due ...
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 ...
Study of radio frequency inductively coupled thermal plasma torch (RF ICPT) for radioactive waste treatment: thermoplastics - polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
(2021-06-01)
Despite advancements in technology and many progresses made in effort for radioactive waste (RW) treatment and overall management, there is still no final and ever lasting solution. Among the many RW materials originating ...
The workplace writing experiences of EAL (English as an Additional Language) professionals: five case studies
(2021-02-01)
A review of the literature on English second language (L2) writing skills reveals a need for more research on the workplace writing experiences of L2 professionals employed in English as an Additional Language (EAL) contexts. ...
The impact of an online collaboration tool on first-year community college students’ learning of expository writing
(2021-02-01)
This exploratory study examined the reading-writing connection and the effects of online collaboration through the use of OneNote on improving the expository writing performance of first-year community college students. ...
An exploration of artistic creation in makerspaces and youth identity
(2020-10-01)
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand how engagement in the arts in maker sessions might contribute to healthy identity development for youth experiencing risk factors in a maker-settings. Youth ...
