In nuclear and industrial facilities, fine particles, including radioactive residues—can accumulate on the interior surfaces of ventilation ducts and equipment, posing serious safety and operational risks.
Understanding building height is imperative to the overall study of energy efficiency, population distribution, urban morphologies, emergency response, among others. Currently, existing approaches for modelling building height at scale are hindered by two pervasive issues.
A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
A novel approach is presented herein to improve time to onset of natural convection stemming from fuel element porosity during a failure mode of a nuclear reactor.
Red mud residue is an industrial waste product generated during the processing of bauxite ore to extract alumina for the steelmaking industry. Red mud is rich in minerals in bauxite like iron and aluminum oxide, but also heavy metals, including arsenic and mercury.
High strength, oxidation resistant refractory alloys are difficult to fabricate for commercial use in extreme environments.
This technology aims to provide and integrated and oxidation resistant cladding or coating onto carbon-based composites in seconds.
