The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.
A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
Sintering additives to improve densification and microstructure control of UN provides a facile approach to producing high quality nuclear fuels.
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
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.
Recent advances in magnetic fusion (tokamak) technology have attracted billions of dollars of investments in startups from venture capitals and corporations to develop devices demonstrating net energy gain in a self-heated burning plasma, such as SPARC (under construction) and
Knowing the state of charge of lithium-ion batteries, used to power applications from electric vehicles to medical diagnostic equipment, is critical for long-term battery operation.
The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.
Current fuel used in nuclear light water reactors that generate energy for the grid use a solid form of uranium that is heated and processed to form pellets.
