Electrochemical behaviour of thorium(IV) in molten LiF–CaF2 medium on inert and reactive electrodes [PDF]

, 2010
The electrochemicalbehaviour of the Th(IV)/Th system was examined in moltenLiF–CaF2medium on inert (molybdenum), reactive (nickel) and liquid (bismuth) electrodes in the 810–920 °C temperature range by several electrochemical techniques.

The unusual role of surface recrystallization on creep damage behavior of GH3535 alloy weld metal

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
It is generally believed that surface recrystallization is detrimental to the mechanical properties of superalloys. However, in our study, surface recrystallization exerts a double-edged effect on the creep damage behavior of GH3535 alloy weld metal at ...

A new wavelength calibration for echelle spectrographs using Fabry-Perot etalons

, 2019
The study of Earth-mass extrasolar planets via the radial-velocity technique and the measurement of the potential cosmological variability of fundamental constants call for very-high-precision spectroscopy at the level of $\updelta\lambda ...

Monitoring of circulating tumor DNA allows early detection of disease relapse in patients with operable breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Monitoring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with operable breast cancer can reveal disease relapse earlier than radiology in a subset of patients. The failure to detect ctDNA in some patients with recurrent disease suggests that ctDNA could serve as a supplement to other monitoring approaches.

Extension of the formula between reactivity and concentrations of fissile and non-fissile nuclide in the fuel salt for thermal neutron spectrum molten salt reactors

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
Due to the unique properties of liquid fuel in molten salt reactors (MSRs), reactor reactivity is directly correlated with the fuel salt composition. Previous studies have established and verified a linear relationship between reactivity and the inverse ...

Thorium Energy Futures [PDF]

, 2012
The potential for thorium as an alternative or supplement to uranium in fission power generation has long been recognised, and several reactors, of various types, have already operated using thorium-based fuels.

Performance of a 229 Thorium solid-state nuclear clock

, 2012
The 7.8 eV nuclear isomer transition in 229 Thorium has been suggested as an etalon transition in a new type of optical frequency standard. Here we discuss the construction of a "solid-state nuclear clock" from Thorium nuclei implanted into single ...
