Design Rules for Carboborothermic Reduction Synthesis of High Uranium Density UB4–UBC Composites
ABSTRACT Uranium borides are promising candidate fuel forms for use in advanced nuclear reactors due to their high thermal conductivity and potential for dual use as both fuel and burnable absorber. In this work, uranium tetraboride (UB4${\rm UB}_4$) and uranium monoboroncarbide (UBC) composite were synthesized by using industrially scalable ...

Suppression Mechanisms for Cesium Leaching from a Fly Ash–Mixed Cement Matrix
ABSTRACT The two suppression mechanisms for Cs leaching, which contain fly ash (FA), are the refinement effect on capillary pores and the adsorption effect that are dependent on the mix proportion of FA. If the leaching suppression by the adsorption effect is expected, FA should be mixed with the cement matrix at a replacement ratio of approximately 70

Novel method for determining of 137Cs in seawater using liquid scintillation counter
Abstract Robust and efficient monitoring of radiocesium in the marine environment has become increasingly important, especially following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. A liquid scintillation counter (LSC) has been used for 137Cs analysis—which was identified as one of the hazardous radionuclides; however, a major limitation of ...

Severe accidents in nuclear power plants (NPPs) pose critical challenges due to heightened environmental harshness that can impair instrumentation functionality. This impairment leads to “blind conditions,” where operators lack essential thermal‐hydraulic data, hindering decision‐making during pivotal moments, as exemplified by the Fukushima Daiichi ...

Following the increasing emphasis on passive safety in nuclear reactor design, a small modular reactor (SMR) with fully passive safety systems is currently under development in the Rep. of Korea. In this SMR, the passive emergency core cooling system (PECCS) plays a critical role in mitigating loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenarios through reactor ...
