C&EN: COVER STORY - NUCLEAR POWER FOR THE FUTURE These new types of reactors are often described as "evolutionary" or "revolutionary." The evolutionary systems, known as generation III and III+ systems, have designs that evolved from the generation II fleet of reactors that were built in the 1970s and 1980s and continue to operate today. Generation I and II reactor safety systems are "active" because they rely on active electrical and mechanical control of equipment such as sensors, valves, pumps, accumulators, heat exchangers, and backup power supplies. VHTR, helium- and lead-cooled fast reactors, and the molten salt reactor are all designed to generate electricity and also to operate at sufficiently high temperatures to produce hydrogen by thermochemical water cracking. pubs.acs.org /cen/coverstory/8237/8237nuclearenergy.html   (3871 words)

FAST BREEDER TEST REACTOR Its main objectives are to generate experience in operation of large sodium systems, to demonstrate generation of electricity from this technology and to serve as an irradiation facility for developing fuel and structural materials for future fast reactors. This was the first time that electricity from a fast reactor in India was fed to the grid. Hence a cautious approach was taken to increase the reactor power in stages after assessing the fuel performance through plant observations and post irradiation examination (PIE) route. www.igcar.ernet.in /lis/nl41/ta1.html   (925 words)

Next-Generation Secure Computing Base - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia NGSCB relies on hardware technology designed by members of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), which provides a number of security-related features, including fast random number generation, a secure cryptographic co-processor, and the ability to hold cryptographic keys in a manner that makes them extremely difficult to retrieve, even to the machine's owner. The Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB), formerly known as Palladium, is a software architecture designed by Microsoft which will implement the controversial trusted computing concept on future versions of the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Microsoft's stated aim for NGSCB is to increase the security and privacy of computer users[1], but critics assert that the technology will not only fail to solve the majority of contemporary IT security problems, but also result in an increase in vendor lock-in and a resulting reduction in competition in the IT marketplace. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Next-Generation_Secure_Computing_Base   (1558 words)

ANS : Public Information : News and Events : Fast Flux Test Facility - Unique Capabilities and Vital Missions The last French fast reactor is to be shut down in a few years, the Monju reactor in Japan has an uncertain future, and one reactor in Russia may well be the only large fast reactor other than FFTF available. In addition, FFTF's capability of producing essentially any neutron spectra desired makes it the preferred, and some cases the only, tool for materials research that can support many of the new Generation IV power reactor design concepts. FFTF is unique among our test reactors in its size, flexibility in accommodating a wide variety of instrumented test assemblies, high neutron flux, high temperatures for testing, and accessibility for experiment control and measurement instrumentation. www.ans.org /pi/news/sd/995471476-views.html   (649 words)
