The uranium system has been modelled by simulating the dissolution of uraninite along the flowpaths investigated.
Tests were performed in LiF-CaF2 at 850 °C on two different redox couples to fix the salt potential, Eu III)/Eu II) and U IV /U III), where the first one was used as inactive system to validate the methodology to be applied on the uranium system.
Even though uranium and plutonium are completely miscible, the plutonium-uranium system is not suitable for nuclear applications.
This paper reviews critical features of basin-related uranium mineral systems in Australia.
Results of the study showed the probability of 5.378E-4 for UF6 gas release from the uranium conversion systems.
The features and similarities in the geology of paleovalley-related uranium mineralizing systems in Australia and China can be used to refine strategies for exploration.
These are the people who write software such as Stuxnet, which is so stealthy that it was deployed in 2008 but wasn't detected until 2010, having wreaked havoc on Iran's uranium processing systems.
Stuxnet was written jointly by the US and Israel and tested in Israel, according to authoritative reports, and performed the equivalent of a precision cyber attack to disrupt Iran's uranium refining systems – an attack which would have been impossible by conventional means.
According to reports, the now infamous Stuxnet virus penetrated Iran's uranium enrichment systems, disabling centrifuges and delaying national efforts to achieve nuclear weapons.
Finally, the Department of Mechanical Engineering's Professor Alexander Slocum was awarded a $400,000 NEUP grant to develop a seawater uranium extraction system that will work symbiotically with an offshore windmill by utilizing the structure, mooring and power of the windmill, while increasing the uranium harvested by the installation.
Dubbed the "laptop of death," it contained over 1,000 pages of documents allegedly from 2001 to 2003 concerning the redesign of a ballistic missile's re-entry vehicle, high-explosives testing for a nuclear weapon detonator, and a uranium conversion system.
