Decay heat uncertainty quantification of MYRRHA

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
MYRRHA is a lead-bismuth cooled MOX-fueled accelerator driven system (ADS) currently in the design phase at SCK·CEN in Belgium. The correct evaluation of the decay heat and of its uncertainty level is very important for the safety demonstration of the ...

Generalized Reich-Moore R-matrix approximation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
A conventional Reich-Moore approximation (RMA) of R-matrix is generalized into a manifestly unitary form by introducing a set of resonant capture channels treated explicitly in a generalized, reduced R-matrix.

Unusual Surface Latent Heat Flux Variations and Their Critical Dynamics Revealed before Strong Earthquakes

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
We focus on the possible thermal channel of the well-known Lithosphere–Atmosphere–Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC) mechanism to identify the behavior of thermal anomalies during and prior to strong seismic events.

A Theory for Complex Systems Social Change: An Application of a General ‘Criticality’ Model [PDF]

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2015
Within the developed nations deterioration in the basis of society, as dramatically demonstrated by the Lehman collapse, has reached extreme levels, and currently the formation of pro-change agents is approaching a decisive stage. Here, we will construct

A method to identify the weakest link in urban drainage systems

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2023
Urban drainage systems are composed of subsystems. The ratio of the storage and discharge capacities of the subsystems determines the performance. The performance of the urban water system may deteriorate as a result of the change in the ratio of storage
