The design incorporates several novel technical solutions： polycarbonate support insulation, mono-stable magnetic actuator, labyrinth pulling insulator, core-type flexible contact and new compact vacuum interrupter （VI）. Phases are encapsulated into silicone rubber providing required creepage distance and excellent tracking resistance. These novelties along with extensive modeling of the mechanical and electrical fields followed by design optimization resulted in weight reduction of more than 50% compared with alternatives available in the market. And this is in spite of built in sensors measuring： phase currents, zero-sequence current, phase voltages.展开更多

This is not an easy task. Here we propose a new concept for a gravity-driven dense granular flow target, in which heavy metal grains are chosen as the spallation target material. Compared with currently widely used targets, this conceptual design has advantages with regard to heat removal, thermal shock protection, neutron yield, radiotoxicity reduction, and convenient operation. The gravity-driven dense granular flow target has the potential to easily deal with these issues and to form a foundation for tens of MW spallation targets for cost-effective facilities. Preliminary simulations and experiments have been completed to support this conceptual design.展开更多
