The influence of air gaps on buffer temperature within an engineered barrier system
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023 High-level radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants are disposed subterraneously utilizing an engineered barrier system (EBS). A gap inevitably exists between the disposal canisters and buffer materials, which may have a negative effect on the ...

Testing repository engineered barrier systems for cracks ‐ a challenge [PDF]
Materialwissenschaft Und Werkstofftechnik, 2021 AbstractIm Jahr 2011 hat der Bundestag in Deutschland den Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie beschlossen. Der angefallene Abfall wird mehr als hunderttausend Jahre eine derartig hohe Aktivität besitzen, dass er eine erhebliche Gefahr für nachfolgende Generationen darstellen kann. Dieser radioaktive Abfall soll in tiefen geologischen Formationen (z. B.

Dual‐Key Genetic Circuit Enables Stable and Self‐Regulated Engineered Bacteria for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis [PDF]
Advanced ScienceEngineered bacteria offer a promising therapeutic platform but often display plasmid instability and antibiotic dependence. A synthetic dual‐key genetic circuit is established in Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) by deleting both asd and thyA genes ...
