Book Description
The safety analysis of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) systems requires knowledge of the vapor pressure of reactor fuels up to 6000 K.A new technique was developed to obtain experimental vapor pressure data for reactor fuel materials at high temperatures and pressures. Fuel samples are pulse fission heated in the Annular Core Pulse Reactor (ACPR) at heating rates comparable to those anticipated during a severe LMFBR transient. Since the vapor of reactor fuels may contain several dissociated fuel species, volatile fission products, and/or fission gas, and the evolution of that pressure may be time or rate dependent, the terminology ''effective equation-of-state (EEOS) measurement'' was used to differentiate these results from the vapor pressure of pure materials. This technique can be easily applied to plutonium bearing and previously irradiated fuels. The EEOS technique was used to determine the vapor pressure of high purity uranium dioxide with an oxygen-to-metal ratio of 2.08. Energy depositions of up to 2720 J/g relative to room temperature were obtained, resulting in measured pressures in excess of 38 mpa.

Book Description
In the beginning of the 1990’s, in the course of the events which were rapidly cha- ing the political con?guration of the East European countries, the crisis which - vested the vast research apparatus of the former Soviet Union was entailing con- quences whose dimension and depth were immediately realized by the international scienti?c community. In the same years, however, the most important branch of nuclear energy - searchanddevelopment,inparticularthatconcerning?ssionreactor,wasworldwide undergoing a substantial reduction due to a variety of decisional situations. Yet, paradoxically, it was a very good fortune that a number of concerns on the future of nuclear research were shared by East- and West-European scientists, especially those who were working in advanced ?elds. In fact, the only hope for coping with an uncertain future was to erect bridges between similar institutions and employ safeguarding tactics linked to a long term collaboration strategy. A decade later, this proved to be a winning decision, since the revival of nuclear energy is presently starting from a basis of common intentions and a network of established cooperation, whose seeds are to be searched in those initial, individual e?orts.

Book Description
The thermophysical properties database for materials of light water reactors and heavy water reactors described in this technical document was established within the framework of an IAEA Coordinated Research Project. The database is intended to serve as a useful source of information on thermophysical properties data for water cooled reactor analyses. In particular, it aims at achieving improvements in safety and economics of future plants by helping to remove the need for large design margins to account for limitations of data and methods. The database has been developed into an internationally available Internet database (THERPRO) at Hanyang University (Republic of Korea), and now provides various materials properties data and an interactively accessible information resource and communications medium for researchers and engineers.--Publisher's description.
