DOI: 10.1002/er.6619
Abstract: Fluoride‐salt‐cooled solid‐fuel fast reactor (LSFR) with thorium‐based fuel could complete a self‐sustaining core that fulfills long‐term energy demands. This paper further investigated the LSFR core sustainability of breeding thorium and the spent fuel characteristics for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wf19207
Abstract: The slow-moving flameless burning of wildland fuels (i.e. smouldering) can be difficult to detect and challenging to extinguish. Although previous research involving the smouldering of organic fuels (e.g. cotton, cellulose, peat) has investigated the influence… read more here.
