TL;DR: In this article, the challenges and design issues of hydrogen production with a Cu-Cl cycle coupled to Canada's nuclear reactors are discussed. And the results are useful to assist the development of a lab-scale cycle demonstration, which is currently being undertaken at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in collaboration with numerous partners.
Abstract: SUMMARY
Issues related to equipment scale-up and process simulation are described for a thermochemical cycle driven by nuclear heat from Canada's proposed Generation IV reactor (Super-Critical Water-Cooled Reactor; SCWR), which is a CANDU derivative using supercritical water cooling. The copper–chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle has been identified by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited as the most promising cycle for thermochemical hydrogen production with SCWR. Water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen through intermediate Cu-Cl compounds. This article outlines the challenges and design issues of hydrogen production with a Cu-Cl cycle coupled to Canada's nuclear reactors. The processes are simulated using the Aspen Plus process simulation code, allowing the cycle efficiency and possible efficiency improvements to be examined. The results are useful to assist the development of a lab-scale cycle demonstration, which is currently being undertaken at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in collaboration with numerous partners.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of thiosulfate-enhanced ions on the degradation of Alloy 800 was investigated, and the results showed that the passive film exhibits as p-type semiconductivity in a thio-sulfate only solution and n-type s-conductor in a chloride-only solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used inelastic neutron scattering to determine translational and librational lattice modes in a single crystal of solid nitrogen in the cubic $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-phase at 15 K.
Abstract: The technique of inelastic neutron scattering has been used to determine translational and librational lattice modes in a single crystal of solid nitrogen in the cubic $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-phase at 15 K. The measurements were concentrated at the high-symmetry points $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$, $R$, and $M$, where the degeneracies ease the task of symmetry assignments to the observed modes. The assignment was made on the correlation of the observed structure-factor variation with force-model predictions. The calculations were based on a general potential function which includes Lennard-Jones or six-exponential-type interactions as well as electric quadrupole forces. Good agreement was found between both the observed frequencies and the observed intensities and their calculated counterparts. The temperature dependence of selected modes has been established and it is compared to a recent self-consistent phonon calculation.

TL;DR: In this article, the products of the slower part of the ion recombination are affected by an applied magnetic field, and the fluorescence yield increases by a factor of about 1.5 whereas the triplet yield decreases.
