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).
ORNL has developed a large area thermal neutron detector based on 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillator coupled with wavelength shifting fibers. The detector uses resistive charge divider-based position encoding.
Sintering additives to improve densification and microstructure control of UN provides a facile approach to producing high quality nuclear fuels.
The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.
This technology is a strategy for decreasing electromagnetic interference and boosting signal fidelity for low signal-to-noise sensors transmitting over long distances in extreme environments, such as nuclear energy generation applications, particularly for particle detection.
The need for accurate temperature measurement in critical environments such as nuclear reactors is paramount for safety and efficiency.
