Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Proposed Solutions to Achieve Nuclear FusionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.Despite research carried out around the world since the 1950s, no industrial application of fusion to energy production has yet succeeded, apart from nuclear weapons with the H-bomb, since this application does not aims at containing and controlling the reaction produced. There are, however, some other less mediated uses, such as neutron generators. The fusion of light nuclei releases enormous … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 8,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Power Uprate in Nuclear Power PlantsAlejandro Nuñez-Carrera, Ana Lidia Carreño-Padilla, Erick Gilberto Espinosa-Martínez, Raúl Camargo-CamargoThe three main strategies used by the utilities in order to obtain more benefits from the nuclear installations focused on electricity production and in order to satisfy their demand without carbon dioxide emissions are: (1) Power uprate, (2) plant life management and (3) plant life extension. Alone in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved more than 140 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2017 · 7,599 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Model for Feasibility Studies on Bioremediation of Uranium Mill Tailings using Hyper Accumulator Chrysopogon zizanioidesH. Shanmugasundaram, Sathesh Kumar Annamalai, Kantha Deivi Arunachalam et al.Contamination of environment by uranium is expected in places where mining of uranium ore and processing, nuclear testing and reactor operations when the control measures are not effective. The daughter radionuclides of the ores, chemical additives and residual uranium are the maincomponents of processed waste from uranium industries. The bioremediation of contaminated areas using plant species or group of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 11 Dec 2016 · 8,872 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFemtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic PropertiesA. A. BolonkinProblem statement: At present the term 'nanotechnology' is well known-in its' ideal form, the flawless and completely controlled design of conventional molecular matter from molecules or atoms. Such a power over nature would offer routine achievement of remarkable properties in conventional matter and creation of metamaterials where the structure not the composition brings forth new powers of matter. But even … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,681 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiffusion of Radioactive Materials in the AtmosphereAbdul-Wali Ajlouni, Manal Abdelsalam, Hussam Al-Rabai’ah, Abdullah M.S. AjlouniProblem statement: The dispersion of radioactive materials in the environment related to escaping of noble gases, halogens and aerosols of non-volatile radioactive materials, from the reactor containment during normal operations, or in the event of a sever reactor accident. Approach: radionuclide dispersion in the environment is demonstrated by mathematical tools which are the partial differential equations, mainly the diffusion equation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,697 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Exoplanet has Smothering Stratosphere without WaterRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn some earlier works, the authors of the present study have shown that a modern ship should resemble a UFO, an accelerated particle jet propulsion with a particle accelerator on board the ship, accelerating to the very best big. The problem as an idea is clear and simple, but the current technologies we have in the field of fixed particle … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 6,995 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety. This is achieved by computer implanted FDI procedures (Fault Detection and Isolation). However, the malfunction of actuators, sensors and of the process components, as well as erroneous actions of human operators can have some disastrous consequences in high … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,888 accessesView PDF Cite
