Improved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel
Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on thorium for use in tradit...
متن کاملChina’s Energy Strategy on the Middle East
China is a vast and overpopulated country in the eastern Asia whose energy security and supply is the most important factor of economic growth and consequently, economic, social and political security. By the past decades, its leaders have understood the key role of economic growth and development in the economic and political security of china. Thus, they have put all their concentration on th...
متن کاملSafety Review Models on Radioactive Source Term Design For PWR Waste Treatment Systems
The source of all liquid, gaseous and solid radioactive waste in the pressure water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant (NPP) originate from leakage of fission products out of the fuel rods into the primary coolant and neutron activation of materials within and around the primary coolant system and reactor vessel. The source term design used to determine the concentrations of radionuclides in the...
متن کاملStatistical Anomaly Detection for Train Fleets
practical applications every day. It has been used for fraud detection and intrusion detection for a long time, but in later years the usage has exploded to all kind of domains, like surveillance, industrial system monitoring, epidemiology, and so on. For an overview of different anomaly-detection methods and applications, see, for example, Chandola, Banerjee, and Kumar (2009). The approach tak...
متن کاملFueling global fishing fleets.
Over the course of the 20th century, fossil fuels became the dominant energy input to most of the world's fisheries. Although various analyses have quantified fuel inputs to individual fisheries, to date, no attempt has been made to quantify the global scale and to map the distribution of fuel consumed by fisheries. By integrating data representing more than 250 fisheries from around the world ...
