MaterialsLithium-containing ceramics were significant tritium breeders for the fusion blanket concept, for which tritium release performance and mechanical properties serve as the core indicators for evaluating their performance as tritium breeders. The Li4Si0.8Ti0.2O4 material was designed as an advanced tritium breeder and fabricated into ceramic pebbles via ...

Radioactive Iodine and Krypton Control for Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Facilities
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The removal of volatile radionuclides generated during used nuclear fuel reprocessing in the US is almost certain to be necessary for the licensing of a reprocessing facility in the US. Various control technologies have been developed, tested, or used over the past 50 years for control of volatile radionuclide emissions from used fuel reprocessing ...

Decay Heat Removal in GEN IV Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactors
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 The safety goal of the current designs of advanced high‐temperature thermal gas‐cooled reactors (HTRs) is that no core meltdown would occur in a depressurization event with a combination of concurrent safety system failures. This study focused on the analysis of passive decay heat removal (DHR) in a GEN IV direct‐cycle gas‐cooled fast reactor (GFR ...

Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactor: A Historical Overview and Future Outlook
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 A review is given of developments in the area of Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactors (GCFR) in the period from roughly 1960 until 1980. During that period, the GCFR concept was expected to increase the breeding gain, the thermal efficiency of a nuclear power plant, and alleviate some of the problems associated with liquid metal coolants.

The polishing process of advanced ceramic balls using a novel eccentric lapping machine [PDF]
, 2005 The finishing process of advanced ceramic balls can be divided into two steps. The first step is lapping in which most of the stock from the ball is removed at a higher material removal rate.
