High-gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) is a non-destructive separation technique that captures magnetic constituents from a matrix containing other non-magnetic species. One characteristic that actinide metals share across much of the group is that they are magnetic.
A novel approach is presented herein to improve time to onset of natural convection stemming from fuel element porosity during a failure mode of a nuclear reactor.
Molecular Beam Epitaxy is a traditional technique for the synthesis of thin film materials used in the semiconducting and microelectronics industry. In its essence, the MBE technique heats crucibles filled with ultra-pure atomic elements under ultra high vacuum condition
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
The need for accurate temperature measurement in critical environments such as nuclear reactors is paramount for safety and efficiency.
