Corrosion Problems in Nuclear Power Production

Solid wastes from nuclear power production.

Radioactivity in nuclear power effluents is negligible compared to that in retained wastes to be disposed of as solids. Two basic waste categories are those for which shallow disposal is accepted and those for which more extreme isolation is desired. The latter includes "high level" wastes and others contaminated with radionuclides with the unusual combined properties of long radioactive half-l...

High-temperature Corrosion in Power-generating Systems

Several technologies are being developed to convert coal into clean fuel for use in power generation. From the standpoint of component materials in these technologies, the environments created by coal conversion and their interactions with materials are of interest. Coal is a complex and relatively dirty fuel that contains varying amounts of sulfur and a substantial fraction of noncombustible m...

emittance control in high power linacs

چکیده این پایان نامه به بررسی اثر سیم پیچ مغناطیسی و کاوه یِ خوشه گر با بسامد رادیویی بر هاله و بیرونگراییِ باریکه هایِ پیوسته و خوشه ایِ ذرات باردار در شتابدهنده های خطیِ یونی، پروتونی با جریان بالا می پردازد و راه حل هایی برای بهینه نگهداشتن این کمیتها ارایه می دهد. بیرونگرایی یکی از کمیتهای اساسی باریکه هایِ ذرات باردار در شتابدهنده ها است که تاثیر قابل توجهی بر قیمت، هزینه و کاراییِ هر شتابدهند...

Heinz-Peter Berg – CORROSION MECHANISMS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WITH LIGHT WATER REACTORS

It is well known that operational conditions in light water reactors strongly influence the corrosion processes. This paper gives an overview which types of corrosion are identified in operating practice based on the evaluation of events which are reported to the authorities in line with the German reporting criteria. It has been found that the main contributor is the stress corrosion cracking....
