Synthesis of simulant ‘lava-like’ fuel containing materials (LFCM) from the Chernobyl reactor Unit 4 meltdown [PDF]

MRS Advances, 2016
A preliminary investigation of the synthesis and characterization of simulant ‘lava-like’ fuel containing materials (LFCM), as low activity analogues of LFCM produced by the melt down of Chernobyl Unit 4. Simulant materials were synthesized by melting batched reagents in a tube furnace at 1500 °C, under reducing atmosphere with controlled cooling to ...

A Comprehensive Review on Material Compatibility and Safety Standards for Liquid Hydrogen Cargo and Fuel Containment Systems in Marine Applications

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
As the maritime industry’s emphasis on sustainable fuels has increased, liquid hydrogen (LH2) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its high energy density and zero-emission characteristics. While the experience of using natural gas in ships can serve as a basis for the introduction of hydrogen, the different risks associated with the two fuels

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

General Approach to the Fuel Containing Materials and Associated Radioactive Waste Management at the Stage of Their Removal from the Shelter Object Premises

Nuclear Power and the Environment, 2023
After the commissioning of the New Safe Confinement — Shelter object (NSC-SO) complex, radioactive waste (RAW) management activities during the removal of fuel containing materials (FCM) from the SO premises must be carried out with the involvement of NSC systems, including the system of main cranes (SMC), as well as systems and equipment of the ...

Empowering Adult Learning How AI Fuels Progress Across Disciplines and Professions

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative cognitive partner across educational and professional fields. It explores how AI shifts attention away from routine technical tasks and toward human‐centered skills such as critical thinking, ethical decision‐making, and professional judgment.

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

Stochastic simulation of destruction processes in self-irradiated materials

Condensed Matter Physics, 2017
Self-irradiation damages resulting from fission processes are common phenomena observed in nuclear fuel containing (NFC) materials. Numerous α-decays lead to local structure transformations in NFC materials.

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...
