Abstract The US Department of Energy is working with fuel vendors to develop accident tolerant fuels (ATF) for the current fleet light water reactors (LWRs). ATF should be more resilient loss coolant scenarios and help extending life operating LWRs. One proposed concepts use iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys cladding fuel. A concern in using ferritic FeCrAl that this type may result an inc...

Skin irritation and contact allergies are skin disorders common to hairdressers. The predominant oxidative hair dye components, such as p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and aminophenol isomers, can cause contact dermatitis. Use of protective gloves can prevent dermal contact with skin irritants. This study investigates the permeation behaviors of p-aminophenol (PAP), m-aminophenol (MAP), o-aminophenol ...

Graphene is a perfect impermeable membrane for gases but permeable to hydrogen ions. Hydrogen ion permeation shows the isotope effect, i.e., deuteron slower than proton when permeating graphene. However, mechanism and origin of effect are still unclear. Here, we propose strategy discuss graphene by developing an source with ultraslow, monochromatic, mass-selected beam. We employed hemispherical...

This paper is associated with a larger program of research, studying the resistance to hydrogen-induced stress cracking (HISC) wrought and hot isostatically pressed UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel (DSS), respect both independent interactive effects three key components HISC: microstructure, stress/strain, hydrogen. In first part presented here, several material properties such as three-dimens...

The research on electro-conductive membranes has expanded in recent years. These membranes have strong prospective as key components in next generation water treatment plants because they are engineered in order to enhance their performance in terms of separation, flux, fouling potential, and permselectivity. The present review summarizes recent developments in the preparation of electro-conduc...
