A Fast Neutron Fluence Reduction Strategy for Pressure Vessel Lifetime Extension [PDF]
The feasibility of nuclear power plant lifetime extension was examined by the evaluation of fast neutron (>1 MeV) fluence at the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). A fluence reduction option, additional shields installation in outer core structures, was applied to the Kori Unit 1 reactor, and its fluence reduction effect was carefully analyzed.

Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles [PDF]
The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined

Engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 with a tannic acid‐mediated BPA coating enables tumor‐targeted boron delivery for BNCT. The low‐level incidental radiation generated during BNCT activate a RecA‐driven circuit to induce CXCL10, while radiation‐enhanced bacterial colonization triggers in situ vaccination and systemic antitumor immunity.
