In this study, the mass flow in double-strata nuclear fuel cycle is analysed based on mass inventory balance model, and the cost evaluation is carried out. As the commercial reactor fuel cycle, which is assumed to be sustainable in a significantly long term, the following different reactors and fuel cycles are considered: (1) Scheme of light water reactor (LWR-UOX and -MOX) based on sea water u...

The puri®cation of water by heterogeneous photocatalysis is one of the most rapidly growing areas of interest to both research workers and water puri®cation plants. Recent literature has demonstrated on a laboratory scale the potential of this promising technology to completely destroy organic pollutants dissolved or dispersed in water into harmless substances. However, to date no viable pilot ...

Photocatalytic oxidation makes use of light of appropriate frequency to activate a catalyst. In the presence of water on the surface of the catalyst, rates of some photocatalytic reactions are slowed. Microwaves are known for an ability to couple with water. Herein a photocatalytic reactor system was integrated with a waveguide allowing for concurrent application of microwaves and photocatalysi...
