New Structural Materials for Nuclear Facilities

NEW REFRACTORY MATERIALS FOR THE COPPER INDUSTRY

Wear of various basic refractory materials to substitute to currently used magnesia chrome bricks has been studied, measuring matte and slag penetration and dissolution, through different cup and rotary slag tests. High magnesia with and without impregnation, magnesia graphite, magnesia-alumina spinel with and without impregnation, olivine-magnesia and olivine magnesia- graphite bricks, as well...

Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

clusters and nuclear facilities :

by Joel I. Cehn R«Leports of clusters of cases of disease, allegedly resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation, frequently appear in the press. To the laymen, these reports are difficult to interpret and are often frightening. How do we evaluate such reports? A cluster of disease cases refers to what appears to be an unusual increase in the number of cases. Such clusters can occur either in...

New techniques in nuclear medicine for tumor detection [Persian]

Widespread studies on tumor diagnosis has led to the development of techniques with greater sensitivity and improved specificity for detection of occult and small subclinical tumors. Tumor imaging by radiolabeling of tumor-specific antibodies (Immunoscintigraphy) or tissue specific biochemical agents (Receptor imaging) and especially physiologic imaging with positron emitters (PET), have ...

A New Technique for Quality Assessment of Railway Ballast Materials

The influence of main quality tests on the overall quality of railway ballast materials is assessed in this study. The need to integrate all acceptance tests in a unified manner for precise evaluation of ballast quality is identified, and a technique of performing this is proposed. Using this approach, a new ballast quality index (BQI) is defined in which, the main acceptance tests including ab...
