Certain components of the nuclear reactor assembly, after years of service, may develop primary water stress corrosion cracking. If such cracking occurs in pressure boundary components, the potential to generate leak paths for the pressurized water coolant exists. Such leak paths could lead to a leakage of coolant water outside the pressure vessel and into the surrounding containment building, thereby creating a potential hazard. 1, record 2, English, - leak%20path

An electrode used widely as a reference electrode of known potential, for example, in electrometric measurements of acidity and alkalinity, in corrosion studies, and in the measurements of the potentials of other electrodes. The calomel electrode consists of mercury covered with a layer of paste of mercury chloride in an aqueous solution of potassium chloride.... The calomel electrode is commonly referred to as a half-cell because it includes an aqueous phase of potassium chloride as one arm of the cell to be used in the electric circuit. 2, record 3, English, - calomel%20electrode

In order to avoid any confusion concerning the sign of electrode potentials, the words "noble" and "base" are often preferred because they are unambiguous. For practical electroplating purposes, "noble metal" is often used as a synonym for "precious metal". In general, a nobler metal provides a better resistance to corrosion and chemical attack than a less noble metal. Nevertheless, it is frequently impossible-owing to several intervening effects, such as the formation of surface oxide layers-to predict the behaviour of a metal against corrosion on the strength of electrode potential alone. 1, record 11, English, - noble%20metal

Afin d'éviter toute confusion relative au signe des potentiels d'électrodes, les qualificatifs «noble» et «commun» sont souvent utilisés parce qu'ils ne sont pas ambigus. En pratique, «métal noble» est souvent utilisé comme synonyme de «métal précieux». En général, un métal plus noble présente une résistance plus élevée à la corrosion et à l'attaque chimique qu'un métal moins noble. Néanmoins, par suite de l'intervention de divers facteurs tels que, par exemple, la formation de couches superficielles d'oxydes, il est souvent impossible de prévoir le comportement d'un métal envers la corrosion uniquement sur la base de son potentiel d'électrode. 1, record 11, French, - m%C3%A9tal%20noble

Hughes Aircraft is under contract to the US Air Force to demonstrate for use in manufacturing a new process that coats microelectronic devices with a silicon nitride insulating film, offering several key advantages over previous insulating techniques. Microcircuits are prepared for a reactor chamber designed for the photo-chemical vapour deposition(Photo-CVD) process. Developed by Hughes with company funds, Photo-CVD offers the potential of eliminating wire bond corrosion, device degradation due to leaky standard metal or ceramic hermetic packages, and failure due to loose conductive particles. According to the company, it is not destructive because it does not generate the ionized particles and broadband electromatic radiation encountered in Plasma-CVD and physical sputtering processes. 1, record 25, English, - photochemical%20vapour%20deposition

(...) la société Hughes Aircraft effectue des travaux visant à démontrer la possibilité d'utiliser, pour la fabrication en série des microcircuits, le procédé de déposition de vapeur photochimique appelé Photo-CVD (photochemical vapour deposition). (...) ce procédé consiste à déposer un film isolant de nitrure de silicium, lequel évite la corrosion aux points de soudure des fils, les dégradations imputables à un manque d'étanchéité des boîtiers et les pannes pouvant être provoquées par des particules conductrices détachées. Le film ne provoque lui-même aucune détérioration, étant donné qu'il ne produit ni particules ionisées ni rayonnement électromagnétique à large bande comme c'est le cas avec le procédé Plasma-CVD et les méthodes classiques de pulvérisation. 1, record 25, French, - d%C3%A9position%20de%20vapeur%20photochimique
