The research about the calculation of burn-up model hexagonal assembly in SCWR reactor using thorium as fuel materials has been done. This uses thorium-232 and uranium-233 materials. Calculations were performed ASMBURN code SRAC program, by determining enrichment, cell radius, analyzing atomic density after burn up, increasing up level, change linear heat. results obtained show value efficient ...

The compounds ThOS, ThOSe, and ThOTe have been synthesized, and their structures have been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. All three compounds adopt the PbFCl structure type in the tetragonal space group D(4h)(7) - P4/nmm. More precise crystallographic data have been obtained for ThOS and ThOSe, which had previously only been known from X-ray powder diffraction ...

Only a single thorium fullerene, Th@C84, has been reported to date (Akiyama, K.; et al. J. Nucl. Radiochem. Sci. 2002, 3, 151-154). Although the system was characterized by UV-vis and XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) spectra, its structure and properties remain unknown. In this work we used the density functional calculations to identify molecular and electronic structure of the Th@...

Density functional theory has been applied to elucidate the stability of thorium monoxide (ThO). It is found out that the pressure can stabilize the rocksalt phase of ThO, and the transition pressure is estimated between 14 and 22 GPa. The stability of ThO can be attributed due to the gradually filling 5f orbitals at the expense of 7s and 6d electrons in Th metal. For ThO, the pressure induces ...

A flinty, spherulitic dyke of peralkaiine trachyte in a Precambrian dyke-swarm consists mainly of albite and aegirine. Within this, euhedral crystals of narsarsukite, NadTi,Fe)Si401o(F), occur as short prisms elongate parallel to c. This distinguishes them from all previously described narsarsukites, which have tabular habits. Minor phases present include micas, apatite, quartz, pectolite, nord...

The metastable H ∆1 state in the thorium monoxide (ThO) molecule is highly sensitive to the presence of a CP -violating permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) [1]. The magnetic dipole moment μH and the molecule-fixed electric dipole moment DH of this state are measured in preparation for a search for the eEDM. The small magnetic moment μH = 8.5(5) × 10−3 μB displays the predict...

The first examples of actinide complexes incorporating corrole ligands are presented. Thorium(IV) and uranium(IV) macrocycles of Mes2(p-OMePh)corrole were synthesized via salt metathesis with the corresponding lithium corrole in remarkably high yields (93% and 83%, respectively). Characterization by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed both complexes to be dimeric, having two metal centers...

Dicaesium hexa-nitratothorate(IV), Cs2[Th(NO3)6], was synthesized in the form of colourless crystals by reaction of thorium nitrate and caesium nitrate in aqueous solution. The Th atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by six chelating nitrate anions. The resulting ThO12 coordination polyhedron is best described as a slightly distorted icosa-hedron. The Cs atom also has a coo...

The metastable H 3 1 state in the thorium monoxide (ThO) molecule is highly sensitive to the presence of a CP-violating permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) [E. R. Meyer and J. L. Bohn, Phys. Rev. A 78, 010502 (2008)]. The magnetic dipole moment μH and the molecule-fixed electric dipole moment DH of this state are measured in preparation for a search for the eEDM. The small m...
