Long term comparison between reprocessed nuclear fuel cycles
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2022 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 ...

Opening of Nitride Spent Nuclear Fuel
KnE Materials Science, 2020 Nitride nuclear fuel (UN + 10-20% PuN) is considered a promising alternative to the widely used oxide nuclear fuel (UO2). Thermal conductivity and density of nitride fuel are ∼ 7 times and 1.3 times higher than that of oxide fuel, respectively. Nitride fuel demonstrates a good compatibility with the cladding of fuel rods made of stainless steel ...

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.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 ...
