Sintering additives to improve densification and microstructure control of UN provides a facile approach to producing high quality nuclear fuels.
Measurements of grid voltage and current are essential for the optimal operation of the grid protection and control (P&C) systems.
A novel approach is presented herein to improve time to onset of natural convection stemming from fuel element porosity during a failure mode of a nuclear reactor.
Water heaters and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems collectively consume about 58% of home energy use.
Fusion reactors need efficient systems to create tritium fuel and handle intense heat and radiation. Traditional liquid metal systems face challenges like high pressure losses and material breakdown in strong magnetic fields.
An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
Currently there is no capability to test materials, sensors, and nuclear fuels at extremely high temperatures and under radiation conditions for nuclear thermal rocket propulsion or advanced reactors.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
Recent advances in magnetic fusion (tokamak) technology have attracted billions of dollars of investments in startups from venture capitals and corporations to develop devices demonstrating net energy gain in a self-heated burning plasma, such as SPARC (under construction) and
The invention is related to the implementation of an bi-directional and isolated electric vehicle charger. The bidirectionality allows the electric vehicles to support the grid in case of disturbances thereby reducing the stress on the existing infrastructure.
