In this technical report, a new approach for characterising powder of uranium ore concentrates (UOCs) is presented. It is based on image texture analysis and multivariate data modelling. Twenty-six different UOC samples were evaluated, applying the angle measure technique (AMT) algorithm to...

This report describes the production and certification of IRMM-1000a and IRMM-1000b, uranium reference materials certified for the production date based on the 230Th/234U radiochronometer, which corresponds to the last chemical separation, i.e. the removal of any 230Th from the material to the...

Starting with the liberalization of electricity trading, this market grew rapidly over the last decade. However, while spot and future markets are rather liquid nowadays, option trading is still limited. One of the potential reasons for this is that the spot price process of electricity is still...
