The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approves new package designs for shipping fissile quantities of UF{sub 6}. Currently there are three packages approved by the NRC for domestic shipments of fissile quantities of UF{sub 6}: NCI-21PF-1; UX-30; and ESP30X. For approval by the NRC, packages must...

This article proposes a concept of “effective Seebeck coefficient”, which discusses the inconsistency between the theoretical Seebeck coefficient and the measured one. The inconsistency can be explained via contact effect and thermal resistor network. Two different clamping forces are...

Vanadium-doped ZnTe films of composition 0 to 10wt%V, were prepared onto glass substrate by e-beam evaporation of the element in vacuum at ∼8×10−4Pa. The effects of various deposition conditions on the electrical properties of the films have been studied in detail. The deposition rate of...
