REACTIVITY BALANCE FOR A SOLUBLE BORON-FREE SMALL MODULAR REACTOR

In this paper, these two topics are dealt with, from a neutronic point of view. Firstly, an overview of the main challenges of operating without soluble boron is proposed (cold shutdown, reactivity swing during cycle, load following, xenon stability).

(5) Deferred Compensation Plan.
The county offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all employees of the county, permits participants to defer a portion of their salary until future years,[r]

1. INTRODUCTION
We present improved algorithms for computing the inverse of large integers modulo a given prime or composite number, without multiplications of any kind. In most computational platforms they are much faster than the commonly used algorithms employing multiplications,[r]

One commonly used IR scale is the Maximum Incremental Reactivity scale (MIR) (Carter, 1994, 2009a, 2009b). When the MIR scale is chosen as a reference scale, the MIR SOFP is an estimate of the mass of O 3 formed by unit product mass under MIR conditions. “MIR conditions” refe[r]

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cellular-level particle radiation therapy that combines the selective delivery of boron compounds to tumour tissue with neutron irradiation. L-p-Boronophenylalanine (L-BPA) is a boron compound now widely used in clinical situations.

The occurrence of micronutrient deficiencies in crops has increased markedly in recent years due to intensive cropping, soil erosion, leaching, liming of acid soils, reduced use of manures, increased purity of chemical fertilizers and use of marginal lands for crop production. Among the micronutrien[r]

When using surveys and other methods to collect information it is important to try and collect data that is reliable. In social research reliability is used to refer to the consistency of the data collected. In the context of social accounting, the main concern is whether respondents would give[r]

An adequate boron amendment ensures not only ample fruit set, but guarantees optimum fruit yield with excellent quality in terms of juice content, ratio between total soluble solids and acidity, and fruit peel colour (Srivastava and Singh 2005). Very little information is available on effect of zinc[r]
