Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program Risk - Informed Safety Margin

Neural Network Controller for the Pressurized Water Reactor Power Control

Although there have been some severe nuclear accidents such as Three Mile Island (USA), Chernobyl (Ukraine) and Fukushima (Japan), nuclear fission energy is still a source of clean energy that can substitute fossil fuels in a centralized way and in a great amount with commercial availability and economic competitiveness. Since the pressurized water reactor (PWR) is the most widely used nuclear ...

Performance characteristics of high-power light-emitting diodes

A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the performance characteristics of the currently available highpower LEDs under various drive conditions and ambient temperatures. Light output degradation and color shift properties as a function of time were measured for five types of commercial high-flux LEDs, namely, red, green, blue, and white from one manufacturer, and a different high-...

A self limiting tumour.

Case history A 20 year old professional footballer presented with pain and swelling of the left thigh after a kick three weeks previously. He had sustained a number of injuries in the past including a previous calf haematoma because of the nature of his profession but none had been as severe. Clinical examination revealed a normal gait. There was definite but diVuse swelling of the extensor com...
