Microwave Processing of Materials: Part II

The fundamentals of microwaves and fixed frequency microwave processing of materials, together with the successful applications of the technology in the United States of America (USA) and Australia, have been described in detail in the paper titled microwave processing of materials: part I. This paper, part II, describes and comments on the fundamentals of variable frequency microwave (VFM) fac...

Long-term Radioactive Waste from Fusion Reactors: Part Ii

In Part I we calculated 10 CFR 61 "Class-C" specific activity limits for all long-lived radionuclides with atomic number less than 88 (Ra). These calculations were based on the whole-body dose. We also estimated the production of these radionuclides from all naturally occurring elements with atomic numbers less than 84 (Po) in the first wall of a typical fusion reactor, and thereby derived conc...

Barrier Membranes — Materials Review Part II

In part one of this two-part series on barrier membrane materials, a review of different types of barrier membranes was discussed, along with a breakdown of various features of each barrier material type and a discussion of the clinical applications best suited to each. As discussed in last month’s issue, the restoration of structure and function of bone and peridontium has been aided significa...

The Transport of Radioactive Materials

All of these materials are transported on land, sea or in the air in compliance with regulations which are now universally based on the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials Ref. [1]. These regulations are designed to ensure adequate protection of transport workers, the public and the environment against the hazards of external radiation, the spread of radioactive con...
