Review of Flash Joule Heating for the Synthesis of Graphene and Other Functional Carbon Materials

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Flash Joule heating (FJH), as a high‐efficiency and low‐energy consumption technology for advanced materials synthesis, has shown significant potential in the synthesis of graphene and other functional carbon materials. Based on the Joule effect, the solid carbon sources can be rapidly heated to ultra‐high temperatures (> 3000 K) through ...

Compilation of Existing Neutron Screen Technology

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The presence of fast neutron spectra in new reactors is expected to induce a strong impact on the contained materials, including structural materials, nuclear fuels, neutron reflecting materials, and tritium breeding materials. Therefore, introduction of these reactors into operation will require extensive testing of their components, which must be ...

Design Concept of Advanced Sodium‐Cooled Fast Reactor and Related R&D in Korea

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Korea imports about 97% of its energy resources due to a lack of available energy resources. In this status, the role of nuclear power in electricity generation is expected to become more important in future years. In particular, a fast reactor system is one of the most promising reactor types for electricity generation, because it can utilize ...

The rise and fall of the fast breeder reactor technology in the UK: between engineering “dreams” and economic “realities”? [PDF]

, 2011
This report explores the evolution of the fast breeder nuclear reactor programmes in the UK, from the period of great promises and expectations in the 1950s and 1960s towards their progressive abandonment in the 1980s and 1990s.

A Compact Gas‐Cooled Fast Reactor with an Ultra‐Long Fuel Cycle

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
In an attempt to allow nuclear power to reach its full economic potential, General Atomics is developing the Energy Multiplier Module (EM2), which is a compact gas‐cooled fast reactor (GFR). The EM2 augments its fissile fuel load with fertile materials to enhance an ultra‐long fuel cycle based on a “convert‐and‐burn” core design which converts fertile ...

Stability and Surface Functionalization of Plasmonic Group 4 Transition Metal Nitrides

ChemNanoMat, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2024.
This study examines the oxidative and colloidal stability of plasmonic group 4 transition metal nitride nanoparticles. While ZrN and HfN showed low propensity to oxidize, TiN was found to be oxidatively unstable under ambient conditions. Surface functionalization with APTES and dimethylsilane enhances its stability and dispersibility, and thus ...

Modelling and analysis of nuclear reactor system coupled with a liquid metal battery

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Traditionally, nuclear power plants in the U.S. provide baseload power to the power grid because they have less flexibility for ramping their output power than natural gas peaking plants. However, achieving climate goals to reduce the consumption of fossil‐based natural gas places pressure on nuclear power plants and other power generators to
