AbstractAbstract
[en] Vibration of simulated CANDU fuel bundles induced by the coolant flow is investigated in this thesis through experiments and numerical simulations. Two simulated bundles and a hydraulic loop are built to mimic the situation of the fuel bundles located at the inlet of a fuel channel in a CANDU nuclear reactor. Fuel bundle vibration mechanism is investigated through experiments and numerical simulations. The three-dimensional turbulent flow that passes through the simulated bundles is modeled using the large eddy simulation (LES) and solved with parallel processing. The local cross flows induced by the presence of endplates at the inlet location and bundle interface location are investigated. The fluid forces are obtained as excitations for the fuel bundle vibration analysis. A finite element model of the fuel bundles is developed with the endplates modeled using the 3rd order thick plate theory. The response of the inlet fuel bundle to the fluid excitations is solved in the time and the frequency domain. The added mass and the fluid damping are approximated with the theory on the flow-induced vibration of slender bodies in a parallel flow. Measurements are obtained and used to validate the numerical prediction under various operating flow conditions. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights: • 2D convection flow develops with internal heating and strong axial magnetic field. • Poloidal magnetic field suppresses turbulence at high Hartmann number. • Flow structure is dominated by large-scale counter-rotation vortices. • Effective heat transfer is maintained by surviving convection structures. - Abstract: We explore the effect of poloidal magnetic field on the thermal convection flow in a toroidal duct of a generic liquid metal blanket. Non-uniform strong heating (the Grashof number up to 10"1"1) arising from the interaction of high-speed neutrons with the liquid breeder, and strong magnetic field (the Hartmann number up to 10"4) corresponding to the realistic reactor conditions are considered. The study continues our earlier work , where the problem was solved for a purely toroidal magnetic field and the convection was found to result in two-dimensional turbulence and strong mixing within the duct. Here, we find that the poloidal component of the magnetic field suppresses turbulence, reduces the flow's kinetic energy and high-amplitude temperature fluctuations, and, at high values of Hartmann number, leads to a steady-state flow. At the same time, the intense mixing by the surviving convection structures remains able to maintain effective heat transfer between the liquid metal and the walls.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights: • 2D convection flow develops with internal heating and strong axial magnetic field. • The flow is strongly modified by the buoyancy force associated with growing T_m. • Thermal convection is suppressed at high Gr. • High temperature difference between top and bottom walls is expected at high Gr. - Abstract: The work continues the exploration of the effect of thermal convection on flows in toroidal ducts of a liquid metal blanket. This time we consider the effect of the mean flow along the duct and of the associated heat transfer diverting the heat deposited by captured neutrons. Numerical simulations are conducted for a model system with two-dimensional (streamwise-uniform) fully developed flow, purely toroidal magnetic field, and perfectly electrically and thermally insulating walls. Realistically high Grashof (up to 10"1"1) and Reynolds (up to 10"6) numbers are used. It is found that the flow develops thermal convection in the transverse plane at moderate Grashof numbers. At large Grashof numbers, the flow is dominated by the top-bottom asymmetry of the streamwise velocity and stable stratification of temperature, which are caused by the buoyancy force due to the mean temperature growing along the duct. This leads to suppression of thermal convection, weak mixing, and substantial gradients of wall temperature. Further analysis based on more realistic models is suggested.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The kinetics of precipitation was investigated in the ternary Cu alloy, Cu_8_3_._5Ag_1_5W_1_._5 during irradiation with MeV Kr ions at elevated temperatures. The alloy was prepared as a solid solution by physical vapor deposition and then irradiated at room temperature to create a high density of nano-sized W precipitates. These precipitates served as effective sinks for point defects during subsequent elevated-temperature irradiation, suppressing radiation-enhanced diffusion. As a consequence the size of the Ag precipitates formed during elevated-temperature irradiation was stabilized below 20 nm, up to temperatures in excess of 300 °C, thus significantly extending the regime for “compositional patterning” above 175 °C, found for Cu_8_5Ag_1_5. For higher temperature irradiations (above 400 °C), the role of the W precipitates in stabilizing the size of the Ag precipitates switched from simply acting as point-defect sinks to serving as pinning sites for the Ag precipitates. At 500 °C, the average Ag precipitate diameter is ∼30 nm compared to ∼300 nm in the Cu_8_5Ag_1_5 binary alloy. Rate theory calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations are employed to illustrate how this transition takes place

AbstractAbstract
[en] Under this strategic background of 'One Belt and One Road' initiative, China Zhongyuan Engineering Corporation is contracting the construction of two 1000 MW nuclear power plants in Pakistan. Pakistan is an important bridge connecting the Middle East and South Asia, and it is also the hub in the 'One Belt, and One Road' countries. The nuclear power project in Pakistan, as the first overseas HPR1000 reactor with independent intellectual property rights, Hualong One is not only a new starting point for independent innovation, but also a new starting point for the 'going out' strategic concept. This paper carries out comprehensive, multi-angle and in-depth analysis for the Hualong One nuclear power projects in the 'One Belt and One Road' countries from three aspects, i.e. the background, status and significance. And the significant role of Hualong One construction for the 'One Belt and One Road' strategy are specially analyzed. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper researches the sprout inhibition effect by irradiation on refrigerated garlic. The results shows that, the garlic is still in the period of dormancy within 7 days after taken out from the refrigerated warehouse, and irradiation have a good sprout inhibition effect on it. The irradiation dose is 40-90 Gy, the same as that of the post harvest irradiation treatment on garlic. Refrigerate the Zhongmu Garlic (at -2 degree C-0 degree C) until the middle ten days of February the next year, place it at the room temperature (10 degree C-15 degree C) for 1-7 days after taking it out of the warehouse, then use 60Co γ-ray to irradiate it until the absorbed dose reaches 40-90 Gy, the sprout inhibition effect can be realized. The test also indicates that the deposited time after taking out of the refrigerated warehouse is crucial to the sprout inhibition effect of refrigerated garlic by irradiation. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper presents a precise approach for pose recovery of the distal locking holes using single calibrated fluoroscopic images. The problem is formulated as a model-based optimal fitting process, where the control variables are decomposed into two sets: (a) the angle between the nail axis and its projection on the imaging plane, and (b) the translation and rotation of the geometrical model of the distal locking hole around the nail axis. By using an iterative algorithm to find the optimal values of the latter set of variables from any given value of the former variable, we reduce the multiple-dimensional model-based optimal fitting problem to a one-dimensional search along a finite interval. We report the results of our laboratory as well as in-vitro experiments, which demonstrate that the accuracy of our approach is adequate for successful distal locking of intramedullary nails. (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Scatter is an important problem in high-energy flash X-ray radiography. The X-ray transport of flash radiograph about FTO (French test object) was simulated by means of Monte-Carlo method to investigate the influences and the main source of side scatter. The results show that without side cone, the front cone is the main source of side scatter in the system. For any pixel, the scattered exposure from the front cone is more than 50% of the total exposure. And the side scatter has a monotony distribution in the axis direction. With side cone t he side scattered exposure is decreased, and the distribution becomes complicated with single-peak in the direction perpendicular to the axis. In addition, the increment of the distance between the recording plane and the center of the target may not lead to the reduction of the side scattered exposure. There exists an optimum distance where the side scatter is relatively uniform. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is implementing the long-term Adaptive Phased Management program for Canada’s used nuclear fuel. The used fuel bundles will be contained in Used Fuel Containers (UFC), and safely stored and isolated in a deep geological repository. The UFC is a key containment boundary to ensure that the short-lived radionuclides decay in-situ. The UFC is composed of a cylindrical shell welded to two hemispherical heads. A special partial penetration closure weld was designed considering the primary hydrostatic external pressure load in the repository and optimization for closure operations in a hot cell environment. The Canadian nuclear regulations require that some beyond design basis conditions shall be analyzed to understand their consequence as part of the safety assessment. The structural performance of the weld under one of such conditions, i.e., a significant one-directional lateral compressive load, is therefore investigated by the finite element method. Two extreme conditions are considered in the analysis using the real material properties obtained from mechanical testing. The performance of the weld is also demonstrated by flattening test under extreme external pressure. (author)
