Corrosion of aluminium alloy clad nuclear fuel, during reactor operation and under
subsequent wet storage conditions, promotes the formation of aluminium hydroxide and …

This paper presents the technical basis for extended dry storage of aluminum-clad spent
nuclear fuel (ASNF). This basis addresses and closes five knowledge gaps defined by the …

Abstract The United States Department of Energy (DOE) manages over 50 Metric Tons
Heavy Metal (MTHM) of aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel. One main source for DOE's …

The aging of high explosives in an ionizing radiation field is not well understood, and little
work has been done in the low dose and low dose rate regime. In this study, four explosives …

Radiolysis of water at the surface of ZrO 2 nanoparticles was investigated by measuring the
production of radiolysis products from nanoparticle/water mixtures under irradiation. A pulse …
