Experimental studies of thorium ions implantation from pulse laser plasma into thin silicon oxide layers [PDF]
We report the results of experimental studies related to implantation of thorium ions into thin silicon dioxide by pulsed plasma fluxes expansion. Thorium ions were generated by laser ablation from a metal target, and the ionic component of the laser ...

Landscape control of uranium and thorium in boreal streams – spatiotemporal variability and the role of wetlands [PDF]
The concentrations of uranium and thorium in ten partly nested streams in the boreal forest region were monitored over a two-year period. The investigated catchments ranged from small headwaters (0.1 km<sup>2</sup>) up to a fourth-order ...

The impact of the enrichment of the radionuclide thorium in the water body caused by industrial mining on the local ecological environment [PDF]
In order to further understand the impact of industrial mining on the environment, this study conducted environmental monitoring on the radionuclide thorium content in a water body in an industrial mining area in Gansu Province, aiming to fully ...

Antineutrino Geophysics with Liquid Scintillator Detectors [PDF]
Detecting the antineutrinos emitted by the decay of radioactive elements in the mantle and crust could provide a direct measurement of the total abundance of uranium and thorium in the Earth.

Comparison of the minor actinide transmutation efficiency in models of a fast neutron uranium-thorium fueled reactor [PDF]
In terms of nuclear raw materials, the issue of involving thorium in the fuel cycle is hardly very relevant. However, in view of the large-scale nuclear power development, the use of thorium seems to be quite natural and reasonable.

Synergistic damage behavior of He ion irradiation and molten salt corrosion in SiC at 750 °C
CVD SiC samples exposed to 400 keV He ion irradiation at 750 °C were subsequently corroded in FLiNaK molten salt at 750 °C for 166 h. After corrosion, the dissolution of Si led to the formation of a carbon-rich layer and obvious denudation of the SiC ...

Preliminary Study of Transient Simulations in the MSRE Primary Loop with Modelica/TRANSFORM
Compared to conventional solid-fueled reactors, the liquid fuel transport in molten salt reactors (MSRs) leads to a strong coupling between thermal-hydraulics and neutronics.
