s at the cladding surface has been calculated at the peak power location in the core of a 300-MWe GCFR. ![]() A flux of recoil helium particles as high as 4.2 x 10 10 He/cm 2. The neutron-induced implantation of helium atoms on the exterior surfaces of the cladding of a prototypic gas-cooled fast reactor ( GCFR) has been investigated analytically. Neutron-induced helium implantation in GCFR cladding Each phase represents a distinct area of uncertainty in computing radiation transport from the GCFR core to the plenums, through the upper and lower plenum shields, and ultimately to the prestressed concrete reactor vessel (PCRV) liner: ( 1) the shield heterogeneity phase (2) the exit shield simulation phase (3) the plenum streaming phase and (4) the plenum shield simulation phase This report defines four experiment phases. This report gives the experiment objectives and generic descriptions of experimental configurations for the gas-cooled fast breeder reactor ( GCFR) plenum shield experiment. Requirements for the GCFR plenum streaming experiment These desirable aspects of a GCFR fuel pin can be maintained only as long as axial gas transport paths are available and operating within the fuel pin Consequently, should a breach occur in the cladding, helium flows into the breached fuel pin thereby minimizing fission product contamination of the coolant. In addition, the venting system also maintains the pressure within the fuel pin slightly below (0.3 to 0.5 MPa) the coolant pressure outside the fuel pin. As a result, the internal pressure of a GCFR fuel pin does not increase during irradiation. Each GCFR fuel rod is vented to a manifold whereby gaseous fission products diffusing out of the fuel pin are retained on charcoal traps. The latter design feature brings about improved heat transfer characteristics. The former design feature enables reduction in cladding thickness and prevention of possible creep collapse of the cladding due to the high coolant pressure (8.5 MPa). These unique design features include the use of ( 1) vented and pressure-equalized fuel rods, and (2) ribbed cladding along 75% of the fuel section. The fuel rod design for the Gas Cooled Fast-Breeder Reactor ( GCFR) is similar to that employed for the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) with the exception of the unique features inherent to the use of helium as the coolant. Finally, the means by which the plan is being implemented are discussed To ensure that all necessary tasks are covered to achieve these goals, the program plan is broken into a work breakdown structure (WBS). To implement a quantitative risk-based approach in identifying the important technology requirements for each LOP, frequency and consequence-limiting goals are allocated to each. Each LOP provides an independent, sequential, quantifiable risk barrier between the public and the radiological hazards associated with postulated GCFR accidents. The activities under this plan are organized to support six lines of protection (LOPs) for protection of the public from postulated GCFR accidents. This paper presents a summary of the recently revised gas-cooled fast breeder reactor ( GCFR) safety program plan. The conversion and application of these codes for GCFR analyses is the subject of this paper As part of this effort the light water reactor codes, FRAPCON- 1 and FRAP-T5 were converted to model GCFR fuel rod behavior. The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) was contracted to review the Preliminary Safety Information Document (PSID) Amendment 10 for Gas-Cooled Fast Reactors ( GCFR). The effect of ribbing, as well as the ribbing process, on the short- and long-term structural performance of fuel-pin cladding is being evaluated via in-reactor and out-of-reactor tests and with the fuel-element modeling code LIFE- GCFR and the finite element program, ADINAĬalculated GCFR fuel rod behavior for steady state and transient operation Studies of the thermodynamics and kinetics of the U-Cs-O system, supplemented by analysis of the results of previously irradiated fuel pins, have led to the incorporation of fuel-design modifications in the F-5 experiment to insure adequate performance of the vented fuel. The fuel pins are presently undergoing interim examination after successfully achieving 4.6 at.% burnup. ![]() It is the largest-scale fuel-pin experiment in the present program and will provide data on the performance of pins and a pin-support structure that are prototypic of the GCFR Demonstration Plant. The F-5 fuel-pin irradiation experiment in EBR-II is a cornerstone of the GCFR program. International Nuclear Information System (INIS) GCFR Fuels and Materials Program at Argonne National Laboratory

![]() Jenna Coleman is absolutely superb, nailing each moment, every nuance with a natural ease, and she looks ravishing in her Maid Marian ringlets and garb. Also like those earlier times, it’s the companion who achieves results with her instinct, intuition and empathy. ![]() Like his predecessors long ago in the 1960s and 70s, he’s a strange senior figure, authoritative but not always correct in his assertions. You can see it coming, but the moment when the jailer identifies her as the “true ringleader” is still funny.Ĭapaldi’s Doctor steps out of the shadows of the earlier episodes yet remains resolutely dour, hilariously so, questioning the reality of Robin and his surroundings, and discomfited as the truth dawns. ![]() Here it delivers proper entertainment as the heroes bicker and posture, until Clara explodes at them. It slowed down so many 20th-century Who adventures and rarely featured in RTD’s tenure. Russell T Davies had an edict that the Doctor and his friends should never be incarcerated. ![]() Tom Riley is a lithe, good-looking hero with a sunny disposition – a stark contrast to Peter Capaldi’s “grey old man”, as Robin calls him, or even funnier, “desiccated man-crone”. Robot of Sherwood evokes the breezy joy and buckle-swashing of the 1938 Hollywood classic with Errol Flynn. In a compact 45-minute drama the focus needs to be on the Doctor, Clara, Robin and the Sheriff – and in that it succeeds, with pearly interplay between the quartet. Did you spot Alan-a-Dale is played by Mark Gatiss’s real-life partner Ian Hallard? Otherwise, as a group, they’re free of the sops to the PC Patrol seen in other modern retellings, and are mercifully allowed to be merry, unburdened by the angst seen in the BBC1 series (2006–9) or ITV’s superior Robin of Sherwood (of the mid 1980s). For once, Little John really is a little man, peering out through the legs of the gargantuan stereotype. If you’re scouring for shortcomings, you could whinge that the Merrie Men aren’t given much to chew on, but Mark ensures that each gets his moment in the sun. The Doctor defeats Robin on the log with a spoon and a hip wiggle he cheats at the archery using arrows with a homing device the heroes don’t escape from the dungeon quite according to plan and the Sherwood glades are so verdant because of radiation leaking from the spaceship. Masterly Mark Gatiss has fashioned an elegant, hugely witty script that delivers a coherent plot and everything you could want from an encounter with Robin Hood: ribald banter in leafy glade, log fight over river, archery contest, swordfight in castle, escape from dungeon… Call them clichés if you will but I’d feel shortchanged were any of these timeworn elements omitted.īut Mark also gives each a little tweak. Robot of Sherwood is one of the most charming episodes in eons. The Doctor crossing swords with Robin Hood and his Merrie Men seemed a daft notion, and the photos and clips of Tom Riley (raven-haired heart-throb from Da Vinci’s Demons) in a dodgy flaxen wig didn’t help. Zounds! What a dazzling episode! I didn’t have hopes.

Finally, the issuance of ID cards raises the possibility that illegal aliens will use these identification cards to improperly access benefits such as housing, healthcare, and transportation,” concluded the lawmakers. This raises security concerns as well as questions regarding the likelihood that significant taxpayer resources will be diverted from immigration enforcement to uploading documents into and maintaining a secure system. Becky Pringle, a middle school science teacher from Harrisburg, Pa., who now heads the 3-million-member National Education Association, testified before the committee. We are concerned that identification cards will include QR codes that link to court documents and personally identifiable information related to removal cases. WASHINGTON The House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing today titled, The urgent need to address the gun violence epidemic on Capitol Hill. The Administration is now reportedly planning yet another reckless policy that will further exacerbate this ongoing crisis. “Due to the Biden Administration’s pro-illegal immigration policies, the United States is facing the worst border crisis in our nation’s history. Department of Homeland Security personnel have encountered over 3.1 million illegal immigrants at our southwest border and this Administration has released over 1,048,000 illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States since President Biden took office. Border Patrol made nearly 192,000 arrests of illegal immigrants at the southwest border, making the month the worst June on record. We are concerned that this pilot program is yet another Biden Administration move encouraging illegal immigration by rewarding illegal immigrants for breaking our laws.” This pilot program, known as the ICE Secure Docket Card program, is intended in part to help illegal immigrants circumvent checking in physically at ICE offices and more easily access benefits within the United States. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s failure to engage in immigration enforcement,” wrote the lawmakers. “According to a recent report, the Administration is planning to issue identification cards to individuals who illegally cross the southwest border and are released into the interior of the U.S. This committee (known until the 116th Congress as the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform) is the House’s primary investigative committee. “We continue to investigate the Biden Administration’s erosion of the rule of law and U.S. The lawmakers are concerned the new program will further incentivize illegal immigration and allow illegal aliens to improperly access housing, healthcare, and transportation benefits. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Acting Director Tae Johnson, the Republican lawmakers request a briefing and all documents related to the ICE Secure Docket Card program, a new pilot initiative which would provide illegal immigrants identification cards when released into the interior of the U.S. WASHINGTON - Today, House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.), Subcommittee on National Security Ranking Member Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), and Oversight Committee Republicans are probing the Biden Administration’s plan to provide illegal immigrants identification cards. The request is the latest development in a monthslong back-and-forth between the agency and the committee, which has been investigating Trump’s handling of records.Request a briefing and documents to better understand another reckless policy that will further exacerbate the ongoing border crisis The House committee has jurisdiction over the Presidential Records Act, a 1978 law that requires the preservation of White House documents as property of the U.S. The legal action in August came just weeks after Navarro was indicted on criminal charges after refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. The Justice Department has already pursued records from one former Trump official, Peter Navarro, who prosecutors accused of using at least one “non-official” email account - a ProtonMail account - to send and receive emails while he worked as the president’s trade adviser. The agency says that while it has been able to obtain these records from some former officials, a number remain outstanding. Schumer endorses Nadler in New York Democratic House race ![]() How much of a teacher’s day is spent answering the same questions over and over again? This isn’t uncommon to find in the academic setting. Teachers don’t have to answer the same questions repeatedly. They can even create study guides and materials to help guide students through the coursework in a way they personally understand. Instead of requiring one-on-one instruction or tutoring, AI could help to fill in the gaps for slower learning students. ![]() Artificial intelligence could help teachers to create and manage more personalized content tailored to each student. Consider how many students could fall behind in the course of just a single semester. As a result, some students easily slip through the cracks when a teacher gives the lesson. Students can receive a more personalized education.Ĭlassroom sizes continue to expand even though the staff never increases accordingly. Their questions still got answered correctly, and they were none the wiser about who helped. This was the case for Professor Ashok Goel when he began implementing AI to answer common questions his students posted online.īy the end of the semester, only a handful of students could identify which helpers were real and which ones were computerized. Particularly if they interact with the program over the computer, it may take them quite some time to figure out who is who. The truth is that not all students can tell the difference between their teacher and artificial intelligence. Would you consider using artificial intelligence as your next teaching assistant? Take a look at some of these common concerns and triumphs present with AI technology in the classroom. The AI teaching assistants can cut down on the costs of a real assistant and save educators valuable time on grading and answering questions. Your next teaching assistant could very well be a programmed machine that could help you to interact with students using artificial intelligence. With the advances made in modern science, there may soon be a new option for teachers to consider. Unfortunately, budget cuts and constraints often prevent teachers from hiring an assistant that they truly need. ![]() For many educators, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything well.

Watch a red fox catch a mouse in the snow, here. ![]() That, in combination with their sensitive hearing, makes them pretty fierce predators. What’s even more interesting is that foxes use the Earth’s magnetic field to locate their prey. Foxes have impeccable hearing It’s reported that red foxes can hear a watch ticking from 40 yards away! Their impeccable hearing helps them to identify prey underground. They prefer to hunt and sleep alone, except when they’re busy raising their young in their den. Foxes are solitary Unlike their coyote and canine relatives, foxes are solitary creatures. Watch this video to hear a variety of red fox chatters. In the event another fox intrudes into its territory, foxes are likely to chatter loudly back and forth in defense of their home. Foxes, specifically red foxes, are highly territorial. Gekkering, a series of guttural chattering, is also the most common noises made by foxes, especially in a dispute. The most noticeable is their scream-like howl, which is sure to send a shiver up your spine. Foxes make 40 different sounds What does the fox say? As it turns out, foxes can produce a variety of sounds - up to 40 to be exact. Click here to learn how to sniff out and identify other pest odors around your home. If you start smelling this around your home or in your crawl space, it may be an indicator that foxes are near. They have a sickly, musty scent that comes from the glands at the base of their tails. Related: DIY Home Wildlife Removal: Dead or Alive 3. While no homeowner wants foxes meandering around their property, there are safe ways to remove them without harming or killing them. Humans, however, pose the largest threat to foxes. These underground dens also provide shelter from predators, such as coyotes, wolves, and bears. The pups live in the den with the vixen, while the dog fox gathers food. When the vixen has her pups - a litter of foxes can range between one and 11 pups - they live in the den together for seven months while the pups grow. Foxes live in underground dens Fox families, also known as a skulk or leash of foxes, live in underground dens. Foxes even tread like cats, using the balls of their feet to silently and elegantly stride. ![]() Additionally, male foxes are called dogs while female foxes are called vixens. Grey foxes also more closely resemble cats, while red foxes have a similar appearance to dogs. Grey foxes can retract their claws, too - just like cats. Foxes also climb trees, use their whiskers to navigate and even stalk their prey like cats. Due to their vertically slanted pupils, they have increased visibility in dim light. Foxes are more like cats than dogs Similar to cats, foxes are nocturnal.

If that’s the case, you may be interested to learn these nine fox facts. Got Foxes? Here’s 9 Fox Facts You Likely Didn’t Know Recently, fox sightings have been on the rise in the Carolinas, which means you may have spotted a few of these bushy-tailed animals trotting around your yard. Reducing the costs of isolation by building alternative supply chains and developing local technologies would take time. This will result in an increased isolation abroad and in attempts to cut China off from critical supply chains. The rise of ideologic orthodoxy will affect China’s governance capability and lead to a harsher confrontation with democracies – which represent the biggest share of the world’s economy. China’s doorlock has two keys: a domestic one and a foreign one, with Xi only able to hold one of them. If he fails, China’s capacity to innovate at the time of reduced access to foreign technology could suffer serious damage.Ĭhina’s openness and integration with the world economy are no longer a given today, pursuing both depends on a deliberate political choice, in Beijing as well as in other countries. At the same time, he must find a way to challenge the existing world order while finding new friends and securing access to foreign capitals, technologies, and markets. Xi Jinping will have to strike a new balance between his will to impose a tighter political control over China at a time of major uncertainties, and the need to allow new ideas to circulate and private economic activity to prosper in order to boost local innovation. Isolation and, worse, closure, does not fit a global power. Xi Jinping is aware of this trend, and is hunting for new partners who share his anti-Western worldview through fora such as the BRICS Summit and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). In addition, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine have taught the world that too much interdependence is harmful, especially if asymmetric, and “decoupling” and “friend-shoring” are becoming new catchwords. As a consequence, human rights will matter more in international trade (at least when the partner is China). The European Union is raising new shields against China’s economic competition, and has adopted new regulations on anti-coercion and forced labour. The US is now building structural partnerships to contain China and limiting exports of critical technology (and, perhaps, capitals) under the “democracies vs autocracies” flag. Too much of a focus on ideology could severely affect China’s governance and decrease room for new ideas. Will Xi Jinping be celebrated as a new “Great Helmsman”? Will the cadres be selected mainly because of their relations with him, as well as their faithful adherence to Xi Jinping’s thought? These decisions matter because selecting new cadres for their ideological orthodoxy, rather than for their competence, might undermine China's capacity to deal with current, and future, crises. ![]() ![]() The upcoming Congress won’t only pick the Politburo’s most relevant members: it will both display Xi Jinping’s real strength on the world stage, and reveal the degree of centrality ideology holds for China’s current leadership. Will Xi Jinping be able to go beyond minimizing losses for the Chinese economy? ![]() All of these elements are affecting the mobility of people, capitals, goods, and ideas, which had secured China's post-1978 economic success. However, Covid-19 travel restrictions, the spread of a domestic ideological orthodoxy, and the increasing international fragmentation where most countries have no choice but to pick sides, have abruptly put a halt to this trend. During the last four decades, China has increased its integration with the world. The future of Beijing’s domestic and foreign policy will depend on one issue: openness. The upcoming 20th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), held on the backdrop of the Ukraine war's dramatic global impact, will shape China’s policies for the next decade. 2022 will be remembered as a watershed year for China.
