Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

In the monolithic type pebble bed reactor, the dimension of the reactor core diameter becomes large, and nuclear control for a large-sized reactor having a large output scale is insufficient in a cooled state using only control elements(control rod, boron sphere) inserted into the reflector region. Furthermore, a reactor core control rod, which is forcibly inserted directly into the reactor core, is required in addition to the control elements inserted into the reflector region by gravity drop only. Moreover, cases have been reported that fuel spheres are broken if the control rod is inserted forcibly into the core because the pebble reactor core is full of fuel spheres accumulated inside the reactor core, which causes a serious drawback.

  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

Dans un HTR [réacteur à haute température], le débit principal d'hélium (plus de 90 % du débit total) sert à refroidir le combustible et le modérateur, qui fournissent respectivement environ 90 % et 10 % de la puissance thermique du cœur. Les débits dérivés refroidissent les barres de contrôle et les structures latérales, dont le réflecteur. Dans un cœur à boulets, le réglage fin du débit par zone radiale de puissance n'est pas possible de par la conception.

Subject field(s)
  • Ornamental Glassware
CONT

Making a murrina consists essentially in preparing a sheaf of multicolored glass rods, arranged so that its cross-section is according to a predetermined design. It is then heated and, when the melting point is reached, it is drawn out until the desired diameter is obtained. After cooling, the rod obtained in this way is cut up into small disks of variable thickness... whose section has the previously made design.

OBS

Since murrines are one of the typical products of Venetian handicraft, several authors use the Italian forms "murrina" (singular) and "murrine" (plural).

French

DEF

A bolt designed for use in roof bolting. It consists of a 3/4 in. diameter rod, at one end of which is a cold-rolled threaded portion, the other end being shaped to form a solid wedge forged integrally with the bolt. Over this wedge is fitted a loose split sleeve of 1-1/2 in. external diameter. The anchorage is provided by the bolt being placed in the hole and the bolt is pulled downwards while the sleeve is held by the thrust tube. Split by the wedge head of the bolt, the sleeve expands until it grips the sides of the hole.

The guide thimbles are structural members which also provide channels for the neutron absorber rods, neutron sources or instrumentation devices. Each thimble consists of a Zircaloy tube. The tube diameter at the top section provides the annular area necessary to permit rapid control rod insertion during a reactor trip. The lower portion of the guide thimble is made with a smaller inner diameter to reduce diametrical clearances and produce a dashpot action near the end of the control rod travel during trip operation.

  • Winches
DEF

A windlass consisting of a vertical and horizontal spar with a bight of the rope taken around the horizontal spar, which is used to move heavy loads over short distances.

CONT

In making a Spanish windlass, fasten a rope between the load you are to move and an anchorage some distance away. Place a short spar vertically beside this rope, about halfway between the anchorage and the load. This spar may be a pipe or a pole, but in either case it should have as large a diameter as possible. Make a loop in the rope and wrap it partly around the spar. Insert the end of a horizontal rod through this loop. The horizontal rod should be a stout pipe or bar long enough to provide leverage. It is used as a lever to turn the vertical spar. As the vertical spar turns, the rope is wound around it, which shortens the line and pulls on the load. Make sure that the rope leaving the vertical spar is close to the same level on both sides to prevent the spar from tipping over.
