Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) is one of alternative energy that can be used to replace fossil energy. NPP a clean doesn't emit CO2 as residue from the power plant. Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) most widely commercial reactor date. This usually uses UO2 fuel with enrich U-235 and produce plutonium waste nuclear. In this study, natural uranium addition spent PWR, calling it Uranium-Plutonium Nitri...

UO2 is the standard nuclear fuel used in modern, conventional power reactors (e.g. PWR, BWR and AGR). The oxide phase of fissile uranium provides the necessary thermodynamic stability required in operating conditions. It then follows that an extensive knowledge of the properties of this material is necessary. Unfortunately, experimental research is costly, especially if fission products are con...

Plant specific Severe Accident Management Guidelines are provided to give guidance plant staff respond a severe accident, protect containment, minimise fission product releases and prioritise equipment recovery efforts while bringing the controlled stable condition. This paper presents discusses enhancements that have been made particularly widely implemented SAMG based on Westinghouse Owners G...

This paper describes the application of Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications, VERA, under development by Consortium Advanced Simulation LWRs (CASL) to core physics analysis AP1000 PWR. The PWR features an advanced first with radial and axial heterogeneities which provides significant enhancements compared traditional cores, allowing best fuel usage short transition equilibrium cycle sub...

Understanding structure-function relationships and mechanisms of signal transduction in G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is becoming increasingly important, both as a fundamental problem in membrane biology and as a consequence of their central role as pharmacological targets. Their integral membrane nature and rather low natural abundance present many challenging problems. Using a recently ...

OBJECTIVES This paper outlines the potential strategies to identify the poor, and assesses their feasibility, efficiency and equity. Analyses are illustrated for the case of premium exemptions under National Health Insurance (NHI) in Ghana. METHODS A literature search in Medline search was performed to identify strategies to identify the poor. Models were developed including information on de...
