FUELING [33 records]

Record 1 2024-08-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

The [Federal Aviation Administration] expects over 450, 000 and as many as 717, 000 commercial grade drones will be in service by 2022. Droneports are expected to serve as nodes for commercial drone operations in a region. New business opportunities will arise in and around droneports as entrepreneurs take on these new markets – particularly services for piloting, maintaining, fueling and equipping these aircraft. Companies needing to operate fleets of drones in a region can benefit by having a facility to handle these logistical needs.

CONT

The increase in replacement of conventional film radiography with advanced ultrasonic testing is fueling the global ultrasonic non-destructive test(NDT) equipment market. This trend has rapidly gained momentum over the past three years with a better understanding of phased array ultrasonic technology, as well as with work done on better defining the standards.... While some countries have qualified ultrasonic testing technicians, they do not possess the necessary skills to perform phased array ultrasonic testing, which demands greater knowledge and experience.

Record 5 2017-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

On-line fueling gives CANDU an inherent advantage in that leaking fuel bundles can be removed without loss of generation(provided they can be located). In LWR's [light water reactor] there is a strong motivation to continue operating until the next scheduled fueling outage – so these reactors hold, on the average, a higher fission product concentration in their primary coolant.

CONT

The on-line fueling capability of NRU [National Research Universal] means the reactor does not operate on a fixed fueling cycle. Rather, shut-downs are scheduled by the scientific, engineering or maintenance needs.

Key term(s)
  • on-line fuelling
  • online fuelling
