English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The neutronic design and operational analysis of the NGNP requires core analysis tools(codes and data) for(1) cross section preparation and fuel assembly lattice calculations to produce effective nuclear parameters for subsequent whole-core analysis,(2) static reactor analysis for core design and fuel management...

Record 4 2009-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Atomic Physics
OBS

Each measurement channel has, inside the nuclear reactor core, an instrumentation tube of a fuel assembly and a thimble placed inside the instrumentation tube, in which the fission probe moves around. Neutron flux measurements are carried out in a set of fuel assemblies distributed throughout the core cross section.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Physique atomique
CONT

Les détecteurs mobiles sont du type chambres à fission. Ce type de capteur neutronique est une chambre d'ionisation classique et utilise comme matière sensible aux neutrons, l'uranium. Celui-ci, enrichi à 90 % en uranium 235, est déposé sous forme d'une couche d'oxyde. Chaque détecteur [...] est constitué d'une électrode centrale (anode), d'une deuxième électrode (cathode) qui détermine le volume de mesure, et d'une enveloppe de protection externe. Le gaz de remplissage est l'argon.

Record 5 2002-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Workplace Organization
  • Production Management
DEF

A mass-production arrangement whereby the work in process is progressively transferred from one operation to the next until the product is assembled.

CONT

An assembly line is designed by determining the sequences of operations for manufacture of each product component as well as the final product. Each movement of material is made as simple and short as possible with no cross flow or backtracking. Work assignments, numbers of machines, and production rates are programmed so that all operations performed along the line are compatible.

OBS

See also "production line" and "transfer line".

DEF

Dispositif installé dans une usine permettant aux ouvriers de ne pas se déranger dans l'exécution de leur travail, les pièces se déplaçant mécaniquement devant eux, le plus souvent selon un processus automatique. Elle entraîne la division parcellaire du travail.

OBS

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Procesos y técnicas industriales
  • Organización del trabajo y equipos
  • Gestión de la producción
DEF

La secuencia de todo un proceso productivo de ensamblaje de partes y piezas, sobre un soporte mecánico, que se mueve a una determinada velocidad (cadencia), y sobre el cual trabajan obreros, robots, o una mezcla de ambos, procediendo al ensamblaje.

OBS

Su utilización inicial, ideada por Henry Ford, se asocia con la idea de las economías de escala y de producción en masa. Hasta la introducción del sistema just-in-time, a principios de la década de 1970, y de la fabricación celular, posteriormente, la cadena se consideraba como la técnica más eficiente de producción.

Record 6 2000-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

The ribbon bridge is a floating, modular asset with an integral superstructure and floating supports. Individual bays are joined to form rafts or bridges in support of river crossing operations. Ribbon bridges and rafts provide the maneuver commander with a reliable and responsive means to cross wet gap obstacles from the march... The ribbon bridge system consists of three major components : Bridge transporters, interior bays, Ramp bays. Although BEBs are not a component of the ribbon bridge system, boats are required for the propulsion of ribbon rafts, as well as for the assembly and anchorage of ribbon rafts and bridges.
