Out-of-pile blowdown critical heat flux experiment

Creator:: Moussaoui, Musa A.
Abstract:: In the most challenging nuclear power plant accidents, transient critical heat flux (CHF) is a primary phenomenon that drives peak cladding temperature and ultimately fuel failure. It is not yet determined whether the use of steady-state CHF methods can accurately predict transient CHF under the conditions of a blowdown due...

A Contingency-Based Evaluation for Beaver Restoration of Salmon Habitat in Oregon Coastal Streams

Creator:: Stevenson, John R.
Abstract:: Streams across the western United States are impaired from human alterations that have reduced freshwater habitat by simplifying channel complexity and disconnecting floodplains (Knox et al., 2022; Waples et al., 2008; Wohl, 2014). Climate change is likely to continue exacerbating these risks by warming summer surface stream temperatures (Crozier et...
