Control system design and simulation of HPR1000

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is widely employed in pressurized water reactor (PWR) systems due to its simplicity and robustness. However, tuning for China's third-generation nuclear reactor, the Hualong Pressurized Reactor (HPR1000 ...

Technical developments for accurate determination of amount of samples used for TOF measurements

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Activity determination of 241,243Am samples has been performed with two separate methods of calorimetry and gamma-ray spectroscopy. Decay heat measurements of the samples were carried out by using a calorimeter, and activities of the samples were ...

Creating a Canadian profession: the nuclear engineer, c. 1940-1968 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Canada, as one of the three Allied nations collaborating on atomic energy development during the Second World War, had an early start in applying its new knowledge and defining a new profession. Owing to postwar secrecy and distinct national aims for the

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
