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 ...
Characterization of PVA-Borax-fructose gel for the capture of radioactive wastes generated during nuclear decommissioning activities
(2021-05-01)
With the long-term objective of using polymer gels for the capture of solid, liquid and gaseous waste generated from decommissioning works, characterization of gel properties as well as the properties of the individual ...
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 ...
Computational fluid dynamic investigations of flow through an aged CANDU pressure tube
(2021-08-01)
Single-phase, isothermal computational fluid dynamics simulations of twelve simplified CANDUTM 37M fuel bundles sitting in both as-received and aged pressure tubes were performed with Hydra in this work. The predicted ...
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 ...
Development and demonstration of a high-performance Gaussian puff model for nuclear emergency training scenarios in unity game engine
(2021-08-01)
Prompt decision making and implementation of protective actions in the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency require detailed preparations and training. Computer models provide an avenue to simulate the presence of ...
Improving x-ray operator performance using virtual environments
(2021-08-01)
There are significant limitations in the training for x-ray operators under current regulatory and operational constraints. Advances in technology now allow for the creation of realistic virtual reality environments, which, ...
Study on heat transfer to supercritical water in application to SMRs
(2021-12-01)
The SuperSafe Reactor (SSR), a small modular reactor (SMR) concept with a supercritical water coolant, was subjected to a thermalhydraulic analysis and an economic analysis of its Levelized Unit of Energy Cost (LUEC). ...
Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
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 ...
