DOI: 10.1016/j.anucene.2021.108727
Abstract: Abstract Compacted bentonite is being used as a buffer material for the safe dumping of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in the deep geological repository (DGR) due to its favorable physicochemical properties. However, the temperature variation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nucengdes.2021.111391
Abstract: Abstract Chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) of canisters has been identified as a potential degradation mechanism requiring ageing management — especially in a marine air environment. Methods for monitoring helium gas leakage from canisters have… read more here.

DOI: 10.4187/respcare.08838
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Suspensions delivered via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) require shaking the canister before actuation to prevent drug sedimentation. We hypothesized that a shake-actuation delay of an albuterol hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) pMDI will increase and decrease… read more here.
