The coordination of the trivalent 4f ions, Ln = La<sup>3+</sup>, Dy<sup>3+</sup>, and Lu<sup>3+</sup>, with neutral acidic organophosphorus reagents, both individually combined, was studied by use X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
The resurgence of the molten-salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) creates interesting problems in chemistry. As MSRs operate, composition and physical properties salts change because fission corrosion. Since Cr is principal corrosion product NaCl a common constituent, we studied atomic structure molten NaCl–CrCl3. We found networks CrCl63– octahedra an intermediate-range order with nonmonotonic temperature behavior remarkable agreement between measurements ab initio simulations. Even though results...
With an increased interest in the use of molten salts for energy generation, obtaining thermophysical properties salt mixtures becomes critical understanding performance and behavior. Density is one significant systems. This work presents density measurement chloride using neutron imaging. was performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory High-Flux Isotope Reactor. Resulting densities as a function temperature different from this were compared with calculated values Redlich–Kister modeling....
The microvasculature system is critical for the delivery and removal of key nutrients waste products significantly damaged by ionizing radiation. Single-cell capillaries structures are primary cause circulatory dysfunction, one that results in morbidities leading to progressive tissue organ failure premature death. Identifying tissue-specific biomarkers predictive extent damage will aid developing medical countermeasures treating individuals exposed In this pilot study, we developed tested a...
ABSTRACTUnderstanding the formation of uranium alloys with steel is important to advance nuclear technologies involving U metal fuels and machining metal, for forensics applications. No known phase diagram quaternary U-(M = Fe, Ni, Cr) system exists. We synthesize samples U-304 L (nominal composition 70.1:18.3:10.4 at% Fe:Cr:Ni) across range 4.45—63.35 at%U by arc melting under inert conditions. Using binary UFe as a reference, we identify four U-steel alloy phases. find U-Fe analogue phases...
Previously, a fused-quartz acoustic waveguide named the suspended core with tight-field confinement in small diameter was developed and its sensing potential harsh environment demonstrated fabricated periodic fiber Bragg grating. In this paper, sensor exposed to around 70 Gy/h gamma radiation at room temperature for 3550 h Oak Ridge National Laboratory. For comparisons, thermocouple two optical gratings were tested under same conditions. The central frequency reading of found encounter...
