International Evaluation Co-operation Volume 25: Assessment of Fission Product Decay Data for Decay Heat Calculations
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisati...
متن کاملUWFDM-1075 Self-Shielding Effects in Decay Heat Calculations for Tungsten
Precise representation of geometry and energy is essential to properly account for self-shielding effects in tungsten. Up to a factor of 7 overestimation of tungsten decay heat results from homogenization of tungsten and the water cooled heat sink behind it and use of non-selfshielded cross sections in the activation calculations. To correctly estimate tungsten decay heat, 3-D continuous energy...
متن کاملLattice Calculations of Decay Constants
Lattice attempts to compute the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseu-doscalar mesons are described. I give a short historical overview of such attempts and then discuss some current calculations. I focus on three of the most important sources of systematic error: the extrapolation to the continuum, the chiral extrapolation in light quark mass, and the eeects of quenching. I brieey discu...
متن کاملActinide and Fission Product Partitioning
In Japan, R&D activities for partitioning and transmutation (P&T) have been promoted under the OMEGA programme for more than 15 years. These activities were reviewed by the Atomic Energy Commission in Japan in 2000. In accordance with the results of the review, three institutes, the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) and the Centr...
متن کاملPandemic pandemonium
Every now and then, a story lands in a reporter’s lap that could be one of two things: either an enormous bombshell with the potential to affect millions of people around the world, or a simple dud. Often, the reporter has no clear idea about which it’s going to turn out to be. So how should the story be treated? Well, if you’re the Associated Press wire service, and the story involves a small ...
