Canopy fuels dynamics were similar to forest structure responses: low values prior to fire exclusion, a marked increase by the pre-treatment measurement, substantial reductions following thinning plus burning, and minor reductions following burn-only treatments.
Taking advantage of the good neutron economy of nitride fuel, a compact accelerator-driven system (ADS) for burning of minor actinide fuels has been designed, based on the fuel assembly geometry developed for the European Facility for Industrial Transmutation (EFIT) within the EUROTRANS project.
I used to think that people who felt a burning need to confess minor infractions had no inner life -- or that their outer life was either pretty dull or, as in my torturer penitent, frighteningly immoral.
Further the neutron spectrum is hard, limiting the buildup of Cm and Cf. The high burnup combined with a minor actinide burning rate of 355 kg/GWth year makes the present design an attractive transmutation system.
This result (a significant scatter in the scaling exponents can be computed invoking a model based on the notion of Ut) shows that the scatter reported in the literature does not prove that turbulent burning velocity is of minor fundamental value.
"Burning schools, burning markets.
The ELSY project demonstrates the possibility of designing a competitive and safe fast critical reactor using simple engineered technical features, while fully complying with the Generation IV goal of sustainability and minor actinide (MA) burning capability.
Over the past 10 years, the proportion of Nigerian women who support or accept wife-beating as a norm has declined, although findings from this study show that a sizeable percentage of Nigerian women still justify wife-beating for minor reasons, particularly burning food during preparation.
Some individuals' outbreaks can be quite debilitating, with large, painful lesions persisting for several weeks, while others experience only minor itching or burning for a few days.
In one case, a consultant anaesthetist suffered minor burns on his chest after burning material sprayed from within a patient's wounds during an operation.
