The automatic procedure was developed for fuel assembly decay heat calculation based on PARCS 3D burnup cycle depletion, and ORIGEN 2.1 during both depletion cooling. Using appropriate pre-processor post-processor codes it is possible to calculate loads all assemblies discharged from reactor. Simple graphical application then used distribute within pool any assembly, SFP rack, or whole load at ...

Mangrove ecosystem is a very unique ecosystem in the Earth, which is under threat due to habitat loss, aquaculture expansion, overharvesting and increase of pollution load. In this review paper, world-wide status of mangrove habitat loss, the role of mangrove to act as a sink of pollutants and carbon capture (carbon sequestration), accumulation and biomagnifications of heavy metals is discussed...

Heavy metals are normally occurring elements that have a density at least 5 times higher than of water. Their plentiful domestic, industrial, agricultural and technological usages have led to their widespread distribution in the environment; raising worries over their possible impacts on human health and the environment. The toxicity of heavy metals relies on numerous factors including the dose...
