غلاف سوخت‌های هسته‌ای یکی از مهم‌ترین اجزا رآکتور محسوب می‌شود. این غلاف‌ها آلیاژ زیرکونیم ساخته می‌شوند؛ اما خواص ترمومکانیکی چندان مناسبی ندارند؛ لذا در پژوهش سعی شده با تغییر مواد به‌کاررفته NuScale به یک نوترونیکی و مناسب دست پیدا شود. قلب موجب ضریب تکثیر مؤثر طول بازه سوخت‌گذاری می‌گردد. شبیه‌سازی که M5 بهره می‌برد به‌عنوان معیار هم‌­چنین همراه سه نوع دیگر آلیاژهای رایج دو آن FeCrAl است، د...

This paper assesses the welfare impact of trade and technology diffusion as well as the change in the cross-country distribution of GDP due to removal of trade costs and diffusion barriers. The model extends the multi-country Ricardian trade model of Alvarez and Lucas (2007) to include technology diffusion with diffusion barriers. A key feature of the model is that some countries export goods p...
