Out-of-pile and In-pile Perfomance of Advanded Zirconium Alloys (HANA) for High Burn-up Fuel

Pile-up glass microreactor.

We made a 'pile-up' microreactor in which ten levels of microchannel circuits were integrated to form a single glass entity. Solutions were distributed to each layer via cylindrical holes with a diameter much larger than that of the microchannel. Fabrication of the pile-up reactor was completed using only conventional photolithography, wet etching and thermal bonding techniques, and no special ...

Avoiding prepositional pile-up

After receiving research ethics approval from the review boards at three teaching hospitals affiliated with two universities in urban Ontario, Canada, we asked clinical and educational leaders in each hospital to identify inter-professional clinical health care teams with reputations for strong collaborations and managerial/administrative support. These prepositions require the reader to sift t...

In - Pile Instrumentation Improvements for Fuel Irradiations in Test Reactor

Knowledge of fuel limits and safety margins in normal and off-normal transients in nuclear power plants remains a constant preoccupation for electricity producers and fuel manufacturers. Accurate determination of such limits, through fuel irradiation testing in the OSIRIS reactor at Saclay is closely linked to the reliability of appropriate instrumentation techniques. Two paths are currently fo...

A Pile-up Model for Dispersed Spectra

The observation of a bright X-ray source by the Chandra X-ray Observatory's High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS) can be compromised by photon pile-up in the CCD leading to false absorption features in the observed spectrum. A method for removing the e ects of pile-up in a dispersed grating spectrum is presented. The e ectiveness of the technique is demonstrated through its appl...
