The helicon antenna sits remotely outside the vacuum system, so all shadowing and contamination problems which the other two sources exhibit are eliminated. Ionization fractions to the substrate of 51 +/- 10% with a ...

A fuel pin failure model is developed and incorporated into a fast-running computer program. The model is designed to predict irradiated fuel-pin cladding rupture during a hypothetical transient-overpower (TOP) accident ...

The Axial Offset Anomaly (AOA) is a major impediment to increases in reactor fuel performance preventing PWRs from operating with even more efficient core designs than they are at present. It is a phenomenon where boron ...

In this dissertation, a new lattice Boltzmann model, called the artificial interface lattice Boltzmann model (AILB model), is proposed for the simulation of two-phase dynamics. The model is based on the principle of free ...

Pu(VI) speciation and solubility with phosphate was examined at pH from 0.3 to 12.2, Pu(VI) concentrations from 5 $\times\ {\rm 10}\sp{-5}$ M to 1.3 $\times\ {\rm 10}\sp{-3}$ M and phosphate concentrations up to 0.6 M. ...

High-volume air samplers were used to collect aerosol samples on Whatman 41 air filters at the Canadian air sampling stations Burnt Island, Egbert and Point Petre. Once collected, the samples were analyzed for trace elements ...

Inertial-Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) is an alternative approach to fusion power that offers the ability to burn advanced fuels like D-He$\sp3$ in a non-Maxwellian, high density core. These aneutronic reactions are ideal ...
