The story explores the dilemma between responsibility of family and fulfillment of desires. Set in America in the 1960s, the novel is woven by the romantic story of the two middle-aged man and woman after they countered and gathered together for four days. Though simple in plot, it really deserves detailed interpretation and appreciation. This paper will mainly discuss Kincaid＇s cultural values reflected not only in the romance between his lover and him, but also in his attitudes towards women＇s rights.展开更多

A level 1 probabilistic safety assessment （PSA） model is developed using the identified accident scenarios and the system fault tree models for the safety systems which are needed to mitigate the accidents. Using the preliminary level 1 PSA models, core damage frequency is estimated for the metal fueled KALIMER-600 conceptual design. Sensitivity studies for various design alternatives of safety systems are performed to find out optimal configurations in point of view of risk minimization.展开更多

The recent QUENCH-ACM series of experiments, comprising QUENCH-12 （El 10 cladding alloy）, -14 （M5 alloy） and -15 （Zirlo^TM alloy）, together with QUENCH-06 （reference case, Zircaloy-4 alloy） addressed the effect of alternative cladding materials on oxidation and quenching under similar conditions. Superficial inspection of the experimental results reveals only minor differences in the thermal and oxidation response, except for the much larger hydrogen release during reflood in QUENCH-12. Post-test calculations were performed using a version of SCDAP/RELAP5/MOD3.2, modified to represent the QUENCH facility and to invoke alternative oxidation correlations. The calculations agreed rather well with experiments QUENCH-06, -14 and -15, but the significant hydrogen release during reflood in QUENCH-12 was not captured. Closer examination of the experimental results reveals further differences between QUENCH-12 which may be linked to breakaway oxidation of the E110 cladding. The analyses support the heuristic observation that there was no major difference between the influence of Zircaloy-4, M5 or ZirloTM, but the E-110 exhibited a contrasting behaviour with a consequent impact on the reflooding.展开更多
