Reversibility and switching options values in the geological disposal of radioactive waste. [PDF]

This article offers some economic insights for the debate on the reversible geological disposal of radioactive waste. Irreversibility due to large sunk costs, an important degree of flexibility and several sources of uncertainty are taken into account in

A Thermally Robust Luminescent Antimony Halide for Real‐Time Detection of Volatile Iodine at Elevated Temperatures

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Zero‐dimensional antimony halides drive efficient iodine capture through electron transfer and display rapid fluorescence quenching at 75°C (348 K), establishing the first luminescent sensor for real‐time I2 detection at elevated temperatures. ABSTRACT Real‐time monitoring of volatile molecular iodine (I2), a hazardous radioactive byproduct of nuclear ...

Intramolecular Matere Bonds in Isostructural Rubidium (18‐Crown‐6) Pertechnetate and Perrhenate Dimers

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Two rubidium cations that are not fully encapsulated by 18‐crown‐6 are bridged by two pertechnetate units to form a dimer. These two pertechnetate units are nearly linearly aligned to each other to form Matere bonds (MaBs), a type of noncovalent σ‐hole interaction.

Phosphate and fluoride removal options for Hanford high‐level waste sludge processing

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐phosphate and high‐fluoride sludges represent some of the most challenging waste streams within the Hanford High‐Level Waste (HLW) inventory due to solubility constraints, impacts on glass loading, and corrosion risks during vitrification.

Soil radium, soil gas radon and indoor radon empirical relationships to assist in post-closure impact assessment related to near-surface radioactive waste disposal [PDF]

, 2009
Least squares (LS), Theil’s (TS) and weighted total least squares (WTLS) regression analysis methods are used to develop empirical relationships between radium in the ground, radon in soil and radon in dwellings to assist in the post-closure assessment ...

Robust Control Using a Matrix Converter to Enhance Wind Turbine Systems

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study uses a more efficient and effective solution to improve the operational performance of a wind turbine‐based power system. This system uses a doubly fed induction generator and relies on a matrix converter and fractional‐order proportional–integral controller.
