Dynamic System Scaling Application to Accelerated Nuclear Fuel Testing

Creator:: Yoshiura, Ramon K.
Abstract:: The development of nuclear fuel and materials requires is a continuous effort to investigate the acute and prolonged effects of irradiation, thermal-material stress, chemical change, or other conceivable damage mechanics acquired during normal operation or accident scenarios throughout its lifetime. As in-core fuel property measurement techniques advance to support in...

Fuel Dispersal Under LOCA Conditions

Creator:: Latimer, Griffen D.
Abstract:: Most operating power reactors use oxide fuel in the form of uranium oxide (UO2) which is robust against high temperatures but suffers from poor mechanical performance at high levels of burnup. Currently, the maximum average burnup in light water reactors in the US is 62.5 GWd/t, which is partially imposed...

On the Flow-Induced Vibration of Solitary Wire-Wrapped Cylinders in Axial Flow

Creator:: Nixon, Chad A.
Abstract:: Vibration of nuclear power plant components can cause fretting wear and fatigue that can eventually lead to component failure. Flexible, high-aspect ratio components under flow, such as the wire-wrapped cylindrical fuel elements in a liquid metal-cooled fast reactor (LMFR) core, are particularly susceptible to vibration due to their low natural...

A perceptual comparison of experts, principals and teachers with respect to school health programs within the elementary schools under the jurisdiction of Bangkok metropolis, Thailand

Creator:: Rat-rim-chong, Aim-ut-cha
Abstract:: This study compared the perceptions of health education experts, principals and teachers regarding the ranking in order of importance of organizing school health programs within the elementary schools under the Jurisdiction of Bangkok Metropolis, Thailand. Of 604 subjects participating, 19 were health education experts from universities, Ministry of Public Health...

Integrating solute transport, metabolism and processing in stream ecosystems

Creator:: González Pinzón, Ricardo A.
Abstract:: After three decades of active research coupling hydrology and stream ecology, the connection among solute transport, metabolism and processing is still unresolved. These knowledge gaps obscure the functioning of stream ecosystems and how those ecosystems interact with other landscape processes. We must resolve these challenges to wisely manage water resources,...

The assessment of copper and zinc removal from highway stormwater runoff using Apatite II™

Creator:: Huang, Hsiao-Wen
Abstract:: Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...

Trace forms and self-dual normal bases in Galois field extensions

Creator:: Kang, Dong Seung
Abstract:: Let G be a finite group, G₂ be a Sylow 2-subgroup of G, and L/K be a G-Galois extension. We study the trace form qL/K of L/K and the question of existence of a self-dual normal basis. Our main results are as follows: (1) If G₂ is not abelian and...

Binary stochastic media transport : a coupled mesh based method

Creator:: Barnett, Nathan A.
Abstract:: Transport in a binary stochastic media has been an area of interest for many applications over the past three decades. Many different methods have been attempted, most based on the Levermore-Pomraning coupled transport model. However, this method has never been able to correctly solve problems where a large amount of...

A study of residual Cesium 137 contamination in southwestern Utah soil following the nuclear weapons tests at the Nevada Test Site in the 1950's and 1960's

Creator:: Bentley, R. Blair
Abstract:: The Nevada Test Site (NTS) was the location for at least 100 above ground Nuclear Weapons tests during the 1950's and early 1960's. Radioactive fallout from these tests spread to many areas north and west of the NTS. According to estimates from the NCI and DOE, Washington County, Utah was...

Efficacy of lateral heel wedge orthotics for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis

Creator:: Wallace, David A.
Abstract:: Lateral heel wedge orthotics are designed to reduce medial tibiofemoral joint loading and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). To date, the efficacy of long-term lateral heel wedge orthotics use among OA patients has not been determined. This study evaluated the extent to which lateral heel wedge orthotics reduced...
