The pellet injector operates like a high efficiency icemaker for frozen fuel pellets. An extruder punches out several millimeter-sized deuterium-tritium ice pellets that are propelled by a gas gun at approximately 300 m/s fast and cold enough to penetrate deep into the plasma core, where they vaporize and deposit fresh fuel. 2, record 1, English, - pellet%20injector

A low density, dilute, turbulent pyroclastic flow, usually very hot, composed of a generally unsorted mixture of gases, ash, pumice and dense rock fragments that travels across the ground at high speed and less constrained by topography than a pyroclastic flow. 2, record 3, English, - pyroclastic%20surge

A pyroclastic surge is a fluidized mass of turbulent gas and rock fragments which is ejected during some volcanic eruptions. 3, record 3, English, - pyroclastic%20surge
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Like pyroclastic flows, pyroclastic surges are very fast moving clouds of gas and volcanic particles, and are very destructive. Some differences between the two are that pyroclastic surges travel faster than pyroclastic flows, cover less distance and deposit thinner layers of volcanic material than pyroclastic flows do. 4, record 3, English, - pyroclastic%20surge

A.E. Fersman [...] appelle pneumatolytes les fluides ou distillats, riches en minéralisateurs, qui se sont séparés du magma résiduel lors de l'individualisation des pegmatites. Ces fluides se séparent à divers moments, en quantité plus ou moins importante et en proportion diverse, pendant toute cette période du refroidissement. Tandis qu'il n'y a qu'un seul fluide pegmatitique connexe du refroidissement d'un corps de magma déterminé, il se dégage en général plusieurs distillats, et ceux-ci évoluent pour leur compte parallèlement avec le fluide pegmatitique. À la fin, quand le point critique des solutions aqueuses est atteint (aux environs de 400 °C pour FERSMAN), on entre dans la phase hydrothermale, et les distillats précédents alimentent les solutions hydrothermales juvéniles. Mais, au-dessus de cette température, les distillats pneumatolytiques ont déjà fait cristalliser des produits minéraux constituant les gisements pneumatolytiques. 4, record 5, French, - g%C3%AEte%20pneumatolytique
