TOMOGRAPHY OF CANISTERS FOR SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL [PDF]

Proceedings of International Workshop on Fast Neutron Detectors and Applications — PoS(FNDA2006), 2007
Sweden and Finland are preparing for final deposition of spent nuclear power fuel. The adopted method is to encapsulate spent nuclear fuel in copper canisters filled with iron before deposition in a deep bedrock repository. The canisters will have a diameter of about one metre, which makes examination of the content in sealed canisters virtually ...

Architecture‐Driven Functional Coupling in Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vertically aligned nanocomposites define a growth‐engineered architecture in which vertical interfaces, strain fields, defect pathways, and phase connectivity are created simultaneously. This review shows how these architectural features couple ferroic, optical, ionic, electrochemical, and device responses, establishing design rules and open challenges

Advancement of a Delayed Gamma Dosimeter for Spent Nuclear Fuel Assay [PDF]

Journal of Nuclear Research and Applications
An in-depth fuel assay is crucial for spent nuclear fuel management. Spent fuels with high radiation dose levels also require an appropriate dosimeter. A widely used detector for nuclear radiation dosimetry is the Geiger-Muller detector. Pulses from this

Decoupling the Size and Loading Effects in Silver Nanoparticles for Efficient Paired Carbon Dioxide and Formaldehyde Electrolysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We investigate size‐dependent CO selectivity on Ag nanoparticles, where optimized Ag loading achieves nearly 100% Faradaic Efficiency for CO at −100 mA·cm−2. In situ SERS and XPS reveal the crucial role of optimized loading in catalytic performance. The Ag/C catalyst further exhibits bifunctional activity, enabling efficient electrolysis of CO2 and ...

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 ...

Nitride MXenes Beyond Carbides: Bridging the Gap Between Computational Prediction and Experimental Realization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...
