Densification behavior of ceramic tritium breeder pebble beds under vertical vibration: Effect of vibration parameters

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Packing density of the tritium breeder pebble beds are closely related to the effective density of the lithium atom in the breeding cavities. And the higher the density of lithium atoms the higher the tritium breeding ratio.

Reputation in International Trade: Evidence From the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Review of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 219-242, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A country's reputation may be an important determinant of its ability to export, but the effect is difficult to isolate from underlying product attributes. We consider the trade impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and ask whether damage to the Japanese reputation for food safety played a role in its impact. The disaster led to a large and
