The reactor ALLEGRO and the sustainable nuclear energy in Central Europe

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
The Visegrád-4 countries (CZ, HU, PL and SK) would like to use nuclear energy on the long run. The construction of new Generation 3+ nuclear units probably belong in each country to this realm.

Breeder reactor economics [PDF]

, 1975
This paper focuses on the comparative economics of fast breeder reactors versus light water reactors and develops an internally consistent set of financial techniques whereby a utility may determine and compare the costs of generating power with either system. The general methodology is used here to estimate the break-even capital costs for the breeder

Effect of Pebble Size Distribution and Wall Effect on Inner Packing Structure and Contact Force Distribution in Tritium Breeder Pebble Bed

Energies, 2021
In the tritium breeding blanket of nuclear fusion reactors, the heat transfer behavior and thermal-mechanical response of the tritium breeder pebble bed are affected by the inner packing structure, which is crucial for the design and optimization of a ...

Simulations of complex electron paramagnetic resonance spectra for radiation-induced defect centres in advanced ceramic breeder pebbles

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
Advanced ceramic breeder (ACB) pebbles consisting of lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) and the strengthening phase lithium metatitanate (Li2TiO3) are accepted as the European Union’s reference solid-state material for tritium breeding in thermonuclear ...

Study on path independency on shape of plastic strain distribution accumulated due to long distance travel of temperature distribution

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019
The prevention of excessive deformation by thermal ratcheting is important in the elevated temperature design of fast breeder reactors (FBR). In an experimental study that simulated a fast breeder reactor vessel near the coolant surface, it was reported ...

Combining Electrochemical Reduction with Biosynthesis for Directed Conversion of CO2 into a Library of C3 Chemicals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the H‐type electrolytic cell, carbon dioxide is reduced to acetic acid via electro‐microbial catalysis. The simply processed acetic acid is further converted through biological fermentation into high‐value‐added products, including acrylic acid, L‐lactic acid, and β‐alanine.

Comparison of DeePMD, MTP, GAP, ACE and MACE Machine‐Learned Potentials for Radiation‐Damage Simulations: A User Perspective

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The authors evaluated six machine‐learned interatomic potentials for simulating threshold displacement energies and tritium diffusion in LiAlO2 essential for tritium production. Trained on the same density functional theory data and benchmarked against traditional models for accuracy, stability, displacement energies, and cost, Moment Tensor Potential ...

Study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of Li4SiO4 pebble bed based on DEM-CFD coupling

International Journal of Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design and Technology
The blanket is a key component for producing tritium in fusion reactors. To ensure the blanket operates effectively and safely, it is crucial to maintain efficient heat transfer in the pebble bed. Furthermore, the breeder material needs to operate within

Dynamics for Sustainable Nuclear Buildup Based on LWR and FBR Technologies and Its Impact on CO₂ Emission Reduction

Energies, 2019
In recent years, most of the growth in electricity demand is covered by renewable and nuclear energy sources. However, electricity generation in fossil-fired power plants is also increasing resulting in the increase of CO2 emissions.

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.
