Nuclear Propelled Vessels and Neutrino Oscillation Experiments [PDF]
We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrino oscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locations and times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-based neutrino oscillation ...

Study on kinetic parameters characteristics of pebble bed reactor using HTR-proteus facility [PDF]
The inherent safety feature of a pebble-bed reactor can be observed from its kinetic parameters. Proper modeling for calculating the reactor kinetic is also a concern for safe operation during normal and transient conditions.

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Small modular reactors (SMRs) encompass a large number of technologies at different stages of development. A key challenge for SMR stakeholders is the evaluation of SMR competitiveness with respect to large reactors (LRs). SMRs are usually considered less competitive than LRs because of a misguided application of the economy of scale principle. However,

Rapid evaluation of particle properties using inverse SEM simulations
The characteristic X-rays produced by the interactions of the electron beam with the sample in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) are usually captured with a variable-energy detector, a process termed energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS).

A simple model of reactor cores for reactor neutrino flux calculations for the KamLAND experiment [PDF]
KamLAND is a reactor neutrino oscillation experiment with a very long baseline. This experiment successfully measured oscillation phenomena of reactor antineutrinos coming mainly from 53 reactors in Japan. In order to extract the results, it is necessary
