Thermal Aspects of Using Thorium Dioxide as Alternative Nuclear Fuel in SuperCritical Water-Cooled Reactors [PDF]
, 2010 SuperCritical Water-Cooled nuclear Reactors (SCWRs) are one of six choices for Generation IV (Gen IV) reactor concepts. These reactors use light water as a coolant and operate at a pressure of 25 MPa, inlet temperatures 280–350°C and an outlet ...

Do Banks in the Middle East and North Africa Region Price Carbon Exposure?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines whether carbon exposure is incorporated into corporate borrowing costs within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Using a panel of 771 firm‐year observations from publicly listed non‐financial firms between 2016 and 2023, the analysis investigates the relationship between carbon intensity and firms' cost of debt
