REGULARITIES OF FORMATION OF FLOW OF COOLANT BEHIND THE TVS-KVADRAT MIXING SPACING GRID OF THE PWR-TYPE REACTOR

open access: yesENERGETIKA. Proceedings of CIS higher education institutions and power engineering associations, 2018
Tgratinghis paper presents the results of experimental investigations of the influence of mixing spacer gratings with different types of deflectors on the coolant flow in the TVSKvadrat fuel assembly of the PWR-type reactor. Experimental model of the TVS-Kvadrat of the PWR reactor was made in complete geometric similarity with the full-scale cassettes.

Achieving Net‐Zero in the Electricity Sector in China by 2050 Considering Environmental and Economic Objectives

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
China's pathways to net‐zero electricity by 2050 are evaluated using life cycle environmental and economic assessment across six scenarios. Results show that a renewables‐only grid offers the best overall environmental performance and lowest cost, but increases burdens on metal depletion, land use, and ecotoxicity.

Impact of sintering parameters on the microstructure of homogeneous U1‐xCexO2+δ ceramics

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 108, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The effects of atmosphere and cerium content on the densification and the final microstructure of homogeneous U1‐xCexO2+δ solid solutions (x = 0.10; 0.25; 0.50) were investigated. Dilatometric studies first revealed that while the cerium content only slightly modifies sintering under an Ar/H2 atmosphere, a change of the gas to argon ...
