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

Materials 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

Multilevel modeling of diametral creep in pressure tubes of Korean CANDU units
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2021 : In this work, we applied a multilevel modeling technique to estimate the diametral creep in the pressure tubes of Korean Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) units. Data accumulated from in-service inspections were used to develop the model. To confirm the

Science 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 Adjuster rods, normally in‐core to provide flux flattening, are withdrawn in sequence to provide additional reactivity as the fuel is depleted.
