Interatomic potentials for mixed oxide and advanced nuclear fuels
We extend our recently developed interatomic potentials for UO2 to the fuel system (U,Pu,Np)O2. We do so by fitting against an extensive database of ab initio results as well as to experimental measurements. The applicability of these interactions to a variety of mixed environments beyond the fitting domain is also assessed. The employed formalism makes these potentials applicable across all in...
متن کاملPublic Health Risks of Substituting Mixed-Oxide For Uranium Fuel in Pressurized- Water Reactors
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a contract to the consortium Duke Cogema Stone and Webster (DCS) to dispose of up to 33 tonnes of excess weapons-grade plutonium (WG-Pu) by irradiating it in the form of mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in four U.S. commercial pressurized-water reactors (PWRs). This paper estimates the increase in risk to the public from using WG-MOX at these reactors and f...
متن کاملInorganic Complex Precursor: Preparation of Cu-Mn/SiO2 Mixed Oxide Nanocatalyst for Low-Temperature Water-Gas Shift Reaction
The present study examined the effect of three methods of preparation on the properties and catalytic performance of Cu-Mn/SiO2 catalysts for the water gas shift reaction (WGSR). Impregnation and coprecipitation and the new approach of thermal decomposition of [Cu(H2O)6][Mn(dipic)2].2H2O/SiO2 inorganic precursor complex were used for the synthesis of the silica-supported copper-manganese mixed ...
متن کاملAnticoking Coatings for High Temperature Petrochemical Reactors
Ñ Anticoking Coatings for High Temperature Petrochemical Reactors Ñ Coke deposition is a major problem for several refinery and petrochemical processes, among which steam cracking for ethylene production. Decreasing coking rates will reduce decoking frequency and will also decrease heat transfer degradation. For these processes, a means of reducing coking phenomena is the application of anticok...
