Recovery of actinides from actinide-aluminium alloys by chlorination: Part I [PDF]
Pyrochemical processes in molten LiCl–KCl are being developed in ITU for recovery of actinides from spent nuclear fuel. The fuel is anodically dissolved to the molten salt electrolyte and actinides are electrochemically reduced on solid aluminium ...

DEEP DISPOSAL OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL [PDF]
An alternative but still untested approach is to dispose of highly radioactive waste in very deep boreholes, a concept being considered in the UK and the US.

Criticality safety analysis for eccentric loading of fuel assemblies in spent nuclear fuel cask
Eccentric fuel loading is one of the studies performed in a spent nuclear fuel criticality safety analysis. Several studies have been performed to investigate the effect of increasing reactivity on eccentric loading and random displacement in spent ...

Spent fuel characterization analysis using various nuclear data libraries
Experience shows that the solution to waste management in any national programme is lengthy and burdened with uncertainties. There are several uncertainties that contribute to the costs associated with spent fuel management.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Review of spent nuclear fuel management in different developed countries
Spent nuclear fuel (spent fuel), which is used nuclear fuel that has been exposed to radiation usually produced by nuclear reactors in nuclear power plants, is an inevitable product from the development of nuclear energy.

Long term comparison between reprocessed nuclear fuel cycles
Based on the idea of adopting closed fuel cycle in current pressurized water reactors (PWR) in order to reduce the use of natural uranium and recycle the spent fuel accumulated in the world inventory, this paper aims to compare two closed nuclear fuel ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...
