A large amount of hydrogen can be released into the containment of light water reactors during a severe accident.
As part of the safety design of the containment for light water reactors, jet forces resulting from the postulated rupture of high-pressure piping are accounted for in the design of internal structures.
The tests have been designed to be used for the validation of computer codes that are capable of analyzing the thermalhydraulic safety of the containment of light water reactors (LWRs).
The test facility THAI (thermal-hydraulics, hydrogen, aerosol, and iodine) aims at addressing open questions concerning gas distribution, behaviour of hydrogen, iodine and aerosols in the containment of light water reactors during severe accidents.
The main objective is to provide a code system on the basis of mostly mechanistic models for the comprehensive simulation of all relevant processes and plant states during severe accidents in the containment of light water reactors covering the design basis accidents, too.
After the photocatalysts were successfully obtained, we used Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the target containment and visible light as the light source to investigate the photocatalytic activity of silver-coated ZnO nanorod arrays.
The CONGA project concentrated on theoretical and experimental studies investigating the behaviour of advanced light water reactor containments containing passive containment heat removal systems and catalytic recombiners expected to be effectively operational during a hypothetical severe accident involving large quantities of aerosol particles and noncondensable gases.
The idea is to build a labyrinth with lots of interior tunnels and egg-shaped rooms that we can use for singing, meditation, storage, retreats, water containment, and sound and light deprivation.
Sugarcane plants were grown from cuttings taken from the original transgenic plant material and grown in a physical containment glasshouse under ambient lighting conditions.
The unbleached control colonies, maintained at ambient temperature, also experienced a decline in symbionts densities (approx 70%) (Fig. 2), suggesting that our study system was affected by other experimental stressors, such as reduced ambient light level or containment.
