Copper‐based composites enhanced with carbon feature convenient mechanical properties and favorable electric conductivity. Processing via deformation and thermomechanical treatments can introduce advantageous microstructures further enhancing their performance. Herein, copper–graphene powder‐based composites are directly consolidated via rotary swaging

Coordination Under Uncertain Conditions: An Analysis of the Fukushima Catastrophe [PDF]
This paper analyzes the impacts of the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, which were amplified by a failure of coordination across the plant, corporate, industrial, and regulatory levels, resulting in a ...

"Influences on European Union Nuclear Waste Transport Policy" [PDF]
This paper identifies the evolution of pro- and anti-nuclear advocacy coalitions to their incorporation of the shipments issue in the late 1980's. The pro-nuclear waste transport advocacy coalition has come to include developed nuclear powers, such as ...

Microstructure Evolution of a VMnFeCoNi High‐Entropy Alloy After Synthesis, Swaging, and Annealing
The synthesis and processing (rotary swaging and annealing) of the novel VMnFeCoNi alloy is investigated, alongside the estimation of the grain size effect on hardness. Analysis of a wide grain size range of recrystallized microstructures (12–210 µm) reveals a low annealing twin density.

Nuclear safety issues for fusion power plants
Developing a robust safety case is a key step in the development of a fusion power reactor for electricity generation. Plans for fusion power reactors are already underway and before nuclear facilities are licensed, they must demonstrate they satisfy ...

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