A PGNAA test device was developed and installed to measure the sinter raw mixture composition in situ at TKSE. Based on the results of the measurement a limestone dosing control (LDSC) was implemented into the sinter process control. PGNAA and LSDC are working very well and the basicity level is...

This document presents some numerical tests for the verification of the coupling between 1D and 3D Cell Centred Finite Volume (VFCC) uid models in the EUROPLEXUS code (EPX). EUROPLEXUS is a computer code jointly developed by the French Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA DMT Saclay) and by...

Research and innovation (R&I) have a significant role in the development of transport systems. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of 20 technologies from European R&I projects, researched at a low development phase, that have received high levels of funding and for which the number...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) constitute one of the most promising designs seemingly able to solve the most challenging issues related to the use of nuclear energy for power generation: possibility of large radionuclide releases, nuclear waste and nuclear safeguards. However, MSRs also present a...

The project objectives are to characterise gas stirring during ladle metallurgy using vibration and camera sensors, and to develop innovative signal processing for obtaining representative indices, used as input into online metallurgical models for adjusting and improving the process. DH and...

The main aim of the study is the development of tools able to predict hydrogen content in steel and to assess the best practices to keep it below the critical threshold. A survey of current hydrogen detection methods both for liquid and solid steel have been carried out and the most reliable...

This report presents the essential results of a study performed by the European Clearinghouse on Operational Experience Feedback, in cooperation with IRSN and GRS, aiming to analyse the impact of inappropriate maintenance at NPPs. The databases of IRSN, GRS, U.S. NRC and IAEA IRS were screened...
