The development of nuclear power with fast reactors is associated the implementation a closed fuel cycle (CNFC). In this regard, one actual task to simulate stages study neutron-physical characteristics core. design reactor for operation in mode impossible without using verified and certified software packages calculating reactors, capable simulating all facility cycle. For calculations, FACT-B...

The use of reactors working with a hydrothermal flame as a heat source contributes to overcome many of the challenges presented by supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). Injection of the reagents over a hydrothermal flame can avoid the reagents preheating as the feed can be injected into the reactor at room temperatures, avoiding plugging and corrosion problems in a preheating system. Also the k...

Advances in modeling and simulation (M&S) are needed for the development and design of future generation reactor plants, particularly for providing the desired a priori assurance that performance, safety and economic goals are met. This paper summarizes the M&S needs for two types of reactor systems, the Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR), which enables multi-recycle of actinides to avoid nuclear...

We report the successful use of water-cooled radiofrequency where more traditional forms of neuroablation-conventional and pulsed radiofrequency-had failed to achieve adequate pain relief. We also discuss the mechanism of neural damage with water cooled radiofrequency and discuss why this technique may have a broader role in the management of a wide array of pain syndromes.
