Effect of fission products on the thermal conductivity of ThO2-A molecular dynamics study

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Thermal conductivity (k), as an important thermal property of nuclear fuels, would be deteriorated due to fission products. Therefore, to investigate the effect of fission products on the thermal conductivity of nuclear fuels is essential.

Environmental Thermoeconomic Performance Analysis of Gas Steam Combined Cycle With Different Inlet Air Cooling Technologies

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study establishes an environmental thermoeconomic cost model to investigate the impact of two IAC technologies on the performance of a GSCC from three aspects of energy, economy, and environment. Under arid climate conditions, the SEC technology demonstrates superior performance in terms of cost‐effectiveness and environmental impact.

Stabilization of Tungsten-Uranium Dioxide Composites Under Thermal Cycling Conditions [PDF]

, 1966
Uranium losses during thermal cycling of tungsten - uranium dioxide composites to 2500 C in flowing purified hydrogen for specimens initially containing 35 volume percent uranium dioxide were reduced by the use of thorium dioxide, calcium oxide, or ...

Initial Safety Parameter Evaluation of a PWR Loaded with Thorium and Reprocessed Fuel

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences
The once-through cycle (OTC) of nuclear fuel results in storing large quantities of high-radioactive isotopes. Alternatively, the closed cycle (CC), which involves reprocessing and reusing spent nuclear fuel, improves fuel utilization and reduces high ...

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Long-Term Use of Nuclear Energy from the Aspect of Economy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Energies
Conventional sources of electricity are limited and they pollute the Earth, so it is necessary to think about an additional source of electricity in the future. Nuclear power is one of the options. Two scenarios using different shares of nuclear power in
