Maritime security and nuclear cargoes [PDF]

, 2010
Civilian nuclear operations entail the transportation of sometimes substantial quantities of radioactive material. These can range from large quantities of weakly radioactive fresh fuel for power reactors, with the corresponding removal of highly ...

Leveraging Macrophage Metabolic Reprogramming for Enhanced Anti‐Tumor Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) are key regulators of the tumor microenvironment (TME), with their metabolic states playing a critical role in tumor progression or regression. This review summarizes current understanding of TAM metabolic plasticity alongside cutting‐edge bioengineering innovations, outlining a roadmap for transforming the ...

Minimizing the Standard Deviation of the Thermal Load in the Spent Nuclear Fuel Cask Loading Problem

Energies, 2020
The paper assumes that, at the end of the operational period of a Spanish nuclear power plant, an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation will be used for long-term storage. Spent fuel assemblies are selected and transferred to casks for dry storage,

Endoplasmic Reticulum Geometry Dictates Neuronal Bursting via Calcium Store Refill Rates and Exposes Selective Neuronal Vulnerability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ER's continuous tubular network is maintained by ER‐shaping proteins whose mutation or dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that ER morphology sets the speed of Ca2+ store replenishment between firing events. Disrupting ER continuity slows intra‐ER Ca2+ redistribution from extracellular refill (SOCE) sites, driving

Vorinostat Potentiates Chemoimmunotherapy in Immune‐Enriched Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Immune‐enriched pancreatic cancer does not confer a significant survival advantage. SAHA sensitizes these “hot” tumors to chemoimmunotherapy by disrupting a FASN/PARP9‐driven “metabolic trap” and enhancing CD8+ T cell function. A CD8high/FASNhigh/PARP9high signature identifies patients who are most likely to benefit from the “gemcitabine‐nivolumab‐SAHA”

Natural Convection Heat Transfer of the Horizontal Rod-Bundle in a Semi-closed Rectangular Cavity

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2020
During the refueling of PWR, the spent fuel assemblies are transferred from the reactor building to the fuel building through an underwater tube. The heat transfer characteristics of the spent fuel assembly in the top-corner area of the carrier with poor

Development of the Noncontact Temperature Sensor Using the Infrared Optical Fiber Coated with Antifog Solution

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2015
This study developed a noncontact fiber-optic temperature sensor that can be installed in a spent nuclear fuel pool. This fiber-optic temperature sensor was fabricated using an infrared optical fiber to transmit the infrared light emitted from water at a

Sensitivity studies in spent fuel pool criticality safety analysis for APR-1400 nuclear power plants

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018
A criticality safety analysis was performed for the APR-1400 spent fuel pool region-II to ensure the safe storage of spent fuel, with credit taken for depletion and in-rack neutron absorbers (Metamic panels).

Simple analytical method for predicting the sloshing motion in a rectangular pool

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020
Predicting the sloshing motion of a coolant during a seismic assessment of a rectangular spent fuel pool is of critical concern. Linear theory, which provides a simple analytical method, has been used to predict the sloshing motion in rectangular pools ...
