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 کاملDetermination of melting temperature and temperature melting range for DNA with multi-peak differential melting curves.
Many factors that change the temperature position and interval of the DNA helix-coil transition often also alter the shape of multi-peak differential melting curves (DMCs). For DNAs with a multi-peak DMC, there is no agreement on the most useful definition for the melting temperature, Tm, and temperature melting width, ΔT, of the entire DNA transition. Changes in Tm and ΔT can reflect unstable ...
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 کاملInfluence of Size on the Melting Temperature of Metallic Nanoparticle
In This paper, the effect of size on melting temperature of metallic nanoparticles (Au, Pb and Bi) is theoretically simulated and explained. In this regard, the cause of difference in various experimental data is introduced, which is the difference between nanoparticles’ grain Gaussian distribution. This volume-depended model with the help of the Gaussian distribution can descri...
