CANDU Safety R&D Status, Challenges, and Prospects in Canada

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2015
In Canada, safe operation of CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium; it is a registered trademark of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited) reactors is supported by a full-scope program of nuclear safety research and development (R&D) in key technical areas.

Effect of DUPIC Cycle on CANDU Reactor Safety Parameters

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2016
Although, the direct use of spent pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel in CANda Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors (DUPIC) cycle is still under investigation, DUPIC cycle is a promising method for uranium utilization improvement, for reduction of high ...

Canis STR‐Seq: A Universal Approach for Non‐Invasive Genetic Monitoring of Wolves and Coyotes [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We present a new, universal microsatellite genotype‐by‐sequencing assay for Canis species that allows for unambiguous allele calls, flags homoplasy for more accurate assignment tests, and improves genotyping output from low‐template DNA. We suggest, as others have done previously, that microsatellites are still effective, affordable, and sometimes ...

Managing juvenile idiopathic arthritis within the context of their life: What we learnt from children and youth living with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and their parents

open access: yesMusculoskeletal Care, Volume 21, Issue 4, Page 1248-1260, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children and causes short‐ and long‐term disability. Optimal management requires pharmacologic and non‐pharmacologic interventions. Few studies have explored the youth and family experience of the management of JIA.

Recent Progress in Functional Nanomaterials towards the Storage, Separation, and Removal of Tritium

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 48, November 28, 2023., 2023
Tritium is a prime fuel to generate fusion power, but its storage and separation in pure form are major challenges in nuclear industries. This review discusses recent progress and main research trends in hydrogen isotope storage and separation while emphasizing tritium using metal hydrides, nanoporous zeolites, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and 2‐

Effect of alloying elements on aqueous corrosion of nickel‐based alloys at high temperatures: A review

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, Volume 74, Issue 8, Page 1246-1255, August 2023., 2023
This review paper provides insights into the corrosion mechanism of nickel‐based alloys in aqueous high‐temperature environments. A good knowledge of the effect of alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum (+tungsten), and copper on the corrosion and oxide formation of nickel‐based alloys is explored in this paper. Abstract Nickel‐based alloys are

Modelling and Validation of CANDU Shim Operation Using Coupled TRACE/PARCS with Regulating System Response

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
In CANDU reactors, shim operation is used when the online refuelling capability becomes temporarily unavailable. Adjuster rods, normally in‐core to provide flux flattening, are withdrawn in sequence to provide additional reactivity as the fuel is depleted.

Conceptual Design of a Novel Megawatt Molten Salt Reactor Cooled by He‐Xe Gas

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
He‐Xe gas‐cooled micro‐molten salt reactor (HX‐micro‐MSR) is a novel reactor concept that integrates the technologies of molten salt reactor and closed Brayton cycle (CBC), which has a more compact structure compared with the other types of micro‐MSRs.
