Transmuting the Arid: Fission‐Powered Visions—Unlocking Ghana’s Aquatic Destiny Through Nuclear Desalination

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Water scarcity poses a mounting constraint on Ghana’s socioeconomic development, intensified by climate‐driven hydrological variability, rapid urbanization, and industrial expansion. This study presents a Ghana‐specific techno‐economic and policy‐integrated assessment of nuclear‐powered seawater desalination, moving beyond generic applications of ...

Analysis of the Effective Dose to the Public Living Around Korean Nuclear Power Plants After the Monitoring of Carbon‐14 Discharge Was Implemented

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 5810-5820, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Radioactive effluents discharged by nuclear power plants (NPPs) are classified into two categories: gas and liquid effluents, based on their source and discharge pathways. During the operation of these facilities, both types of effluents are released into the environment.

A New Fuel Design for Two Different HW Type Reactors

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2011
A new fuel element (called CARA) designed for two different heavy water reactors (HWRs) is presented. CARA could match fuel requirements of both (one CANDU and one unique Siemens's design) Argentine HW reactors. It keeps the heavier fuel mass density and

The SG‐Climbot: An Adaptable, Efficient, Inspection and Repair Robot for Steam Generator Heat Transfer Tube Sheet

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 1080-1102, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The steam generator plays a crucial role as a safety component and protective barrier in nuclear power plants. Regular inspection and repair of heat transfer tubes, which operate in high‐temperature, high‐pressure, corrosive, and abrasive environments for extended periods, are essential.

Development and Verification of Activated Source Term Library Based on ENDF/B‐VIII.0

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the United States, the ORIGEN code for computing irradiation and decay processes is one of the most widely used point depletion programs. However, the nuclear data that accompanies it, crucial for its application, has been measured and evaluated a long time ago.
