Recent Progress in Synthesis of Metal Nanostructures in Plasmonic: A Review
Abstract: Plasma physics is a very mature field, studied extensively for well over a century the cross-disciplinary field of plasmonics (electromagnetics of metallic nanostructures), on the other hand, has only recently gained popularity due to its potential for extraordinary light control via novel classes of materials and the resulting applications. As a result of this rapid development, the deep connections with the mother discipline, plasma physics, have sometimes been overlooked. The …

Nuclear Laser Techniques and the Use of Ion Exchange Resins for Radioactive Waste Removal
Abstract: The energy found in an atom's nucleus, or core, is referred to as nuclear energy. Electricity can be produced using nuclear energy, but it first needs to be released from the atom. A laser that has been nuclear pumped has been charged with energy from fission byproducts. In a nuclear reactor core, the lasing medium is housed in a tube lined with uranium-235 and exposed to strong neutron flux. The …

Using Nuclear Grade Resin for Ion exchange
Abstract: In EDF, especially in the nuclear business, ion exchange resins are regularly employed for water purification. High-quality nuclear grade resins must be used in primary and secondary circuits as well as effluent treatment to retain dissolved species, some of which may be radioactive. To decrease worker dose during maintenance and to reduce radioactive resin waste volumes, purification needs to become more and more effective. The right resin qualities must be …

Modelling and Simulation of Urban Smart Micro Grid Operation
Abstract: The project is aimed at the development of a new protocol that enhances the operation of urban micro grid operation. The new protocol improves the capacity of management as well as the energy efficiency of the smart grid as an entire system. The modelling considers the interconnectivity between sources of energy and consumption centers, the daily hourly power generation by the different sources, and the hourly energy demand profile. The …
