Nuclear Physics Instrumentation AGATA detector; presently the NARVAL prototype at LNL is capable of reading data from the AGATA front end electronics, execute the pulse shape analysis, the event building, the gamma tracking and eventually save the results to the AGATA storage system. In the next months there will be the need to test the system coupled with an ancillary detector like PRISMA or D...

NRG performed a research project on the influence on safety of diverse backup systems next to the existing digital I&C safety systems in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). As part of this research project a probabilistic approach has been used to evaluate the basic options to connect a diverse backup system logically to the existing digital I&C systems. One can distinguish four different basic design...

The modelling of nanoelectronic systems has been the topic of ever increasing activity for nearly two decades. Yet, new questions, challenges and opportunities continue to emerge. In this article we review theoretical and numerical work on two new developments in the theory of molecular-scale electronics. First we review a density functional theory analysis within the Keldysh non-equilibrium Gr...

The interactions of high energy neutrons produced in D-D and D-T nuclear fusion reactions with natural silicon have been investigated through direct calculation using cross section libraries, MCNP6 Geant4 numerical simulations. From the systematic simulation particle tracking 5×108 incident on a 1 cm2×20 μm bulk target, we provide detailed analysis all (elastic, inelastic, nonelastic) per type ...

Graphene and its analogues offer a broad range of application opportunities for (opto)-electronics, sensing, catalysis, phase separation, energy conversion storage, etc. Engineering graphene properties often relies on controllable functionalization, defect formation patterning, reactive gas etching. In this chapter, we survey the dynamics using classical quantum-classical methods. We discuss re...
