La spectrométrie de mobilité ionique (IMS) est une technique de séparation et d'identification des ions en phase gazeuse en fonction de leur mobilité dans un gaz tampon. Cette technique repose sur la séparation des ions en phase gazeuse au sein d'un tube de dérive rempli de gaz tampon en présence d'un champ électrique. Sous l'effet du champ électrique appliqué au tube de dérive, les molécules ionisées seront accélérées, mais aussi ralenties par des collisions avec le gaz tampon, et ainsi séparées en fonction de leur charge et de leur section efficace de collision [...] 2, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A9trie%20de%20mobilit%C3%A9%20ionique

A TRISO coating contains three types of coating layers : low density pyrocarbon around the kernel to act as a buffer, and surrounding layers of silicon-carbide(SiC) and high-density isotopic pyrocarbon that retains the fission products. 2, record 4, English, - TRISO%20coating

Le projet Dragon et les projets de l'industrie britannique (travaux de Harwell) ont utilisé un cycle de combustible ne faisant appel qu'à l'uranium. Dans ce cas, une particule unique a été développée, avec un noyau d'oxyde d'uranium enrichi (de 6 à 10 %) de 800 µm de diamètre et un enrobage à trois types de couches dit triso). De l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, elle présente une couche peu dense de carbone pyrolytique, deux couches denses de carbone pyrolytique séparées par une couche de carbure de silicium. Le carbone pyrolytique interne, très poreux, sert de réservoir aux gaz de fission et de tampon, en protégeant les couches résistantes externes des phénomènes physiques et chimiques naissant dans le noyau. Le carbure de silicium assure l'étanchéité aux produits de fission solides qui sont capables de migrer au travers du carbone pyrolytique. Le carbone pyrolytique dense résiste à la pression des gaz de fission. 2, record 4, French, - enrobage%20TRISO
