Linear thermal expansion behavior of compacted bentonite buffer materials

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
In a geological repository system, buffer is indispensable to ensure the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Because heat generated from spent nuclear fuel in a canister is released to the surrounding buffers, thermal properties of such ...

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Development of a high‐throughput dual‐stream liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method to screen for inhibitors of glutamate carboxypeptidase II

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
Rationale Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) catalyzes the hydrolysis of N‐acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) to yield glutamate (Glu) and N‐acetylaspartate (NAA). Inhibition of GCPII has been shown to remediate the neurotoxicity of excess Glu in a variety of cell and animal disease models.

Ordinary-Portland-cement solidification of Cs-137 contaminated electric arc furnace dust from steel production industry in Thailand

Heliyon
The cementation was used to immobilize the Cs-137 contaminated electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). Various mixing recipes were used to prepare the EAFD-cement waste form specimens.

European bison (Bison bonasus) in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (Ukraine) and prospects for its revival [PDF]

Праці Теріологічної школи, 2017
In 2012–2016 a European bison adult bull was observed (by camera traps) in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ, Ukraine), west of Tovstyi Lis village. This is the first record of wild bison in Kyiv Polissya for over 300 years.

A computer-vision aided Compton-imaging system for radioactive waste characterization and decommissioning of nuclear power plants [PDF]

arXiv
Nuclear energy production is inherently tied to the management and disposal of radioactive waste. Enhancing classification and monitoring tools is therefore crucial, with significant socioeconomic implications. This paper reports on the applicability and performance of a high-efficiency, cost-effective and portable Compton camera for detecting and ...

Two phase partially miscible flow and transport modeling in porous media: application to gas migration in a nuclear waste repository [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
We derive a compositional compressible two-phase, liquid and gas, flow model for numerical simulations of hydrogen migration in deep geological repository for radioactive waste. This model includes capillary effects and the gas high diffusivity. Moreover, it is written in variables (total hydrogen mass density and liquid pressure) chosen in order to be
