In 2018, nuclear energy generated 55% of United States’ and one third the world’s carbon free electricity, making a key tool in efforts to mitigate climate change before 2050. However, current technology, light water reactors (LWRs), is limited 300°C, so it cannot be used decarbonize industrial process heat which accounts for 12% US greenhouse gas emissions. High temperature (HTGRs) can meet hi...

Experimental Study of Fine Frequency Selection Techniques for Piezoelectric Aluminum Nitride Lamb Wave Resonators by Ting-Ta Yen Master of Science, Plan II in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Albert P. Pisano, Chair Strong demand for high-Q resonators and filters in mobile wireless communication systems has initiated various research on r...

This work reports the thermodynamic modelling assessment of rather complex Cs-Mo-O system, which is key for understanding fission products chemistry in oxide fuelled Light Water Reactors (LWRs) and next generation Sodium-cooled Lead-cooled Fast (SFRs LFRs). The model accounts existence ternary molybdates Cs 2 MoO 4 ( α β ), Mo O 7 3 10 , 13 5 16 22 sufficient structural information are availabl...

The length-weight relationship (LWRs), length-length (LLRs), length-fork (LFRs) and condition factors of elephant snout fish (Mormyrus rume) from Lake Geriyo was studied October, 2022 to March, 2023. A total one hundred thirty four (134) samples species were sampled monthly artisanal fishers’ catches at exactly 6:00am the lake’s landing site. specimens comprises 69 65 male female respectively. ...

This paper summarizes a study of the implications of a technology-neutral regulation for advanced nuclear power plant designs and proposes a predominately rationalist approach to future nuclear plant regulations. The current body of regulations has been developed and evolved over the past 50 years with consideration of the knowledge and incidents experienced from operation of the Light Water Re...

Previous Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) studies were made to assess the effects of the existing accumulation of LWR spent fuel in the United States on the capability to partition/transmute actinides using existing and advanced LWRs. The concept of treating the “oldest fuel first” indicated that significant advantages could be gained in both partitioning, transmutation, and in overall cos...

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand from nuclear safety research for best estimate predictions to be provided with their confidence bounds. Consequently, a deep knowledge on Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of Models is needed. The present study, involved in the framework of international research of NEA-OECD, estimates confidence bounds of results of simulation and perform...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the length and weight relationships (LWRs) Fulton’s condition factors (K) for three commercial fish species in ?skenderun bay. For purpose, tub gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerne, Linnaeus, 1758), sand soles (Pegusa lascaris, Risso, 1810), gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata, 1758) were collected by a single artisanal fisherman during September- December mont...
