Uranium silicide (U3Si2) is a concept explored as potential alternative to UO2 fuel used in light water reactors (LWRs) since it may improve accident tolerance and economics due its higher thermal conductivity increased uranium density. U3Si2 has been previously research the form of dispersion which operates at lower temperatures than commercial LWRs. The reactor data illustrated that significa...

The Length-Weight relationships (LWRs) of 52 species (14 never reported before) fishes, crustaceans and cephalopods living on the shelf upper slope off Southern Sicily are provided. Data were collected in framework International bottom trawl survey Mediterranean (MEDITS) South (Central Mediterranean), covering a time frame ranging from 2012 to 2019. Linear regressions significant for all (p &lt...

Abstract A sample was analyzed of 1,129 specimens Chirostoma chapalae from Lake Chapala, Mexico obtained catches local fishers between October 2016 and September 2017. Size frequency, length-weight relationships (LWRs), growth, mortality, exploitation rate, survival relative condition index were estimated. The LWRs showed negative allometric growth in females ( b = 2.735) isometric males 3.000)...

Abstract The Couffo basin is not well known, and neither are its aquatic living resources, such as fish fauna, which subjected to high exploitation rates. objectives of this study were establish length-weight ratios (LWRs) length-length (LLRs) for the most important species in catches those certain economic value. A total 12,191 specimens belonging 40 commercial actinopterygian fishes caught wi...

The Length-weight relationships (LWRs) are very important to data for accurate estimate of populations in stock menagement. In this study, the length-weight some fish Göynük stream, Murat River (Bingöl/Turkey) were examined. LWRs and condition factor (K) Cyprinon macrostomus, Gara rufa, Barbus lacerta, Acanthobrama marmid analyzed. was estimated using linear regression model. obtained as TW = 0...

This study was conducted to provide length-weight (LWRs), length-length (LLRs) relationships and condition factor of Oxynoemacheilus seyhanensis from seven habitats belonging three inland water basins Turkey. A total 166 specimens were collected Yıldızeli, Taşköprü, Suşehri (Kızılırmak basin), Büyükpotuklu, Pınarbaşı Örenşehir (Seyhan basin) Akdağmadeni (Yeşilırmak rivers during 2017-2019. The ...

Fuel performance models have been developed to assess the performance of internally and externally cooled LWR annular fuel. Such fuel may be operated at 30-50% higher core power density than the current operating LWRs, and to a burnup of 80-100MWd/kgU. The models are used to optimize the fuel design so that it is able to achieve high power density and high burnup, and to identify the features o...
