Daily briefing: Fusion reactor set for fuel test run

Structured reporting: a fusion reactor hungry for fuel

Analysis of a serum sample, and whole blood on citrate and EDTA. We compare the results to those of December 20th. We observe a slight rise in blood glucose level, but the value is still within normal limits. Erythrocytes sedimentate at a rather fair rate of 25 millimetres per hour, which can be considered justmildly abnormal, taking into account the patient’s gender and age.We notice serum cre...

In - Pile Instrumentation Improvements for Fuel Irradiations in Test Reactor

Knowledge of fuel limits and safety margins in normal and off-normal transients in nuclear power plants remains a constant preoccupation for electricity producers and fuel manufacturers. Accurate determination of such limits, through fuel irradiation testing in the OSIRIS reactor at Saclay is closely linked to the reliability of appropriate instrumentation techniques. Two paths are currently fo...

Investigation of Fuel Cycle for a Sub-critical Fusion-fission Hybrid Breeder Reactor

iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents for providing me with a loving and supportive environment which cultivated my love for science and the drive to pursue it; my advisor, Professor Stacey for his insight, guidance, and reassurance throughout my introduction to the discipline of nuclear engineering; Professor Petrovic who helped refine my understanding of reactor physics; the p...

On Combining Pinpoint Test Set Relaxation and Run-Length Codes for Reducing Test Data Volume

This paper presents a pinpoint test set relaxation method for test compression that maximally derives the capability of a run-length encoding technique such as Golomb coding or frequency-directed run-length (FDR) coding. Before encoding a given set of test patterns, we selectively relax some specified bits of the test patterns. By changing a specified bit with value 1 to a don't-care, two conse...
