Numerical simulation results show that most of the nuclei on the top surface of the melt move downwards and distribute randomly inside the Al melt, which induces more nucleation sites resulting in grain refinement. At the same time, the effect of nuclei size on the nuclei distribution and refinement employing electric current pulse (ECP) was also investigated. The smaller nuclei migrate a short distance with the Al melt at lower speed. But for the larger nuclei, the migration downwards with higher speed benefits the refinement of interior grains of the melt. The research results help to better understand the refinement process and provide a more reasonable explanation of the grain refinement mechanism using ECP.展开更多

These actions may be represented by sheltering, evacuation, distribution of stable iodine tablets and/or relocation. This study represents a comprehensive probabilistic study to investigate the role of the adoption of the countermeasures in case of a hypothetical accident of type LOCA for nuclear power plant of PWR (1000 Mw). The effective doses in different organs, short and long health effects, and the associated risks are calculated with and without countermeasures. In addition, the overall costs of the accident and the costs of countermeasures are estimated which represent our first trials to know how much the proposed accident cost. The results showed that, the area around the site requires early and late countermeasures action after the accident especially in the downwind sectors. For late countermeasures, the duration time of relocation ranged from about two to 10 years. The adoption of the countermeasures increases the costs of emergency plan by 40% but reduces the risk associated the accident.展开更多

Nevertheless, due to some problems the program is immaterialized so far. Recently, in anticipation of domestic energy crisis, nuclear program is revitalized. In the current situation, nuclear program is facing various challenges, including public perception, political instability, brain drain of skilled people, governmental support, and international confidence. In coping with these challenges, several efforts have been done. For instance, to deals with public perception, BATAN is making continuous effort in convincing the public and the decision makers to be aware of the necessity of nuclear power. In line with such effort, several milestones of the nuclear power programme have also been achieved. One of the most important milestones is the enactment of Act No. 10/1997 on Nuclear Energy. The Act demands the establishment of independent regulatory body separated from promoting body.展开更多

Both theoretical and experimental (by UV spec- trum) results indicate that there are four complexes formed in aqueous solution containing 3 mol/L hydrochloric acid and 20 mmol/L PdC12. This work evaluates the kinetics of electrochemical deposition of palladium on a Platinum electrode. For this purpose, palladium electrodeposition was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), potentiostatic current-time tran- sients (CTTs) and Tafel curve. By CTTs curves, the regions corresponding to the charge transfer control, mixed control and diffusion control were identified. In the diffusion control region, palladium electrodeposition mechanism was characterized as progressive nucleation with three-dimensional (3D) growth under diffusion control; as for the mixed control region, an adsorp- tion (1Ads), ion transfer (liT), and nucleation and growth (ING) model were proposed to analyze the current-time transients quan- titatively, which could separate the IAds, lit and IN~ perfectly.展开更多
