Enhancing Thermal Conductivity of SiC Matrix Pellets for Accident-Tolerant Fuel via Atomic Layer Deposition of Al2O3 Coating

open access: yesEnergies
This study investigates the enhancement of thermal conductivity in silicon carbide (SiC) matrix pellets for accident-tolerant fuels via atomic layer deposition (ALD) of alumina (Al2O3) coatings. Pressure-holding ALD protocols ensured precursor saturation,

Effect of bi-directional excitation input on boiling water reactor scrammability

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
When a large earthquake occurs, a boiling water reactor is automatically shutdown through the insertion of control rods among fuel assemblies. A fuel assembly can vibrate in-plane when two seismic waves act on it in directions at right angles to each ...

Dynamic response of a fuel assembly for a KSNP design earthquake

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
Using data from the design earthquake of the Korean standard nuclear power plant, seismic analyses of a fuel assembly are conducted in this study. The modal characteristics are used to develop an input deck for the seismic analysis.

Condition monitoring of an advanced gas-cooled nuclear reactor core [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A critical component of an advanced gas-cooled reactor station is the graphite core. As a station ages, the graphite bricks that comprise the core can distort and may eventually crack.

Hippo pathway at the crossroads of stemness and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway drives nuclear accumulation of YAP/TAZ, activating stemness‐related transcriptional programs that sustain breast cancer stemness and fuel therapeutic resistance across subtypes, underscoring Hippo signaling as a targetable vulnerability. Figure created and edited with BioRender.com.
