... MAPLE is tiny-just five metres high and one and a half metres in diameter at its widest point. The reactor core, which is loaded with 32 kilograms of uranium fuel, is the size of a large wastepaper basket. The entire reactor assembly rests in a pool of ordinary water, about 9. 5 metres deep and a minimum of two metres across, contained by a two-metre-thick wall of heavy concrete lined with stainless steel. The water is used to cool the fuel, establish the chain reaction that generates the neutrons, and shield researchers from radiation emanating from the core. 1, record 2, English, - MAPLE%20reactor

Le cœur du réacteur, chargé de 32 kg de combustible d'uranium, a les dimensions d'une grande corbeille à papier. L'ensemble du réacteur repose dans une piscine d'eau ordinaire, d'une profondeur d'environ 9 m 50 et d'une largeur minimale de deux mètres, entourée d'un mur de deux mètres d'épaisseur, en béton lourd doublé d'acier inoxydable. L'eau refroidit le combustible, établit la réaction en chaîne produisant les neutrons, et protège les chercheurs contre les radiations émanant du cœur. 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20MAPLE

Any used fuel will still contain some of the original U-235 as well as various plutonium isotopes which have been formed inside the reactor core, and the U-238. In total these account for some 96% of the original uranium and over half of the original energy content(ignoring U-238). Reprocessing, undertaken in Europe and Russia, separates this uranium and plutonium from the wastes so that they can be recycled for re-use in a nuclear reactor as a mixed oxide(MOX) fuel.

Après son utilisation en centrale dans le réacteur nucléaire, le combustible peut soit être recyclé (cycle fermé) soit évacué (cycle ouvert). En aval de son cycle, après avoir été utilisé pour la production d'électricité, le combustible nucléaire peut être retraité afin de recycler les matières encore valorisables qu'il contient, pour produire à nouveau de l'électricité. On parle alors de cycle du combustible fermé. À l'issue du retraitement, première étape du recyclage, on obtient 97 % de combustible réutilisable - sous forme d'uranium et de plutonium - et 3 % de déchets. On peut aussi ne pas recycler les matières encore valorisables et évacuer le combustible usé après conditionnement, on parle alors de cycle du combustible ouvert et d'évacuation directe. 1, record 7, French, - cycle%20du%20combustible%20ferm%C3%A9

Three Materials Science Research Racks will be a major portion of the U. S. Laboratory facilities. The European Space Agency will provide the core for the Experiment Module that will occupy the right half of the rack and will house five insert modules. NASA and ESA [European Space Agency] each will provide two inserts, and the German Space Agency(DLR) will provide a fifth. Each of the five inserts will be a furnace to process materials in different ways, such as melting and freezing a sample from one end to the other(directional solidification) or quenching a sample quickly to "freeze" its condition. The German insert will be a special furnace that uses a rotating magnetic field to control flows within the molten samples. The left half of the rack will be occupied for nine months by equipment from NASA's Space Products Development Division, before it is made available to microgravity science researchers. The Experiment Modules and their inserts will be replaceable in orbit, so an entire rack will not have to be returned to Earth. There will be a single experiment module in each rack with the experiment support systems taking the left half of the rack and an Experiment Module taking the right half of the rack. 4, record 14, English, - materials%20science%20research%20rack

The Material Science Laboratory(MSL) offers a multi-user capability to support scientific research in solidification physics, crystal growth with semi-conductors, measurement of thermophysical properties and the physics of liquid states. MSL occupies about half of an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] in the US Lab, and one ISPR in the Columbus Laboratory. The two MSL versions are identical except for minor rack interface differences. Each MSL comprises a core element consisting of a sealed process chamber in which interchangeable furnace inserts are hosted. These inserts process the samples. The sample cartridges are manually loaded into one of the furnaces. The furnace can be moved over the sample cartridge to displace the thermal gradients. Diagnostic systems provide scientific data on the facility and sample cartridge during operations. As the furnaces are modular, they can be upgraded or replaced according to utilisation needs. Additional MSL units complete the accommodation and operational interfaces to the laboratory. 4, record 15, English, - materials%20sciences%20laboratory

The MSL will be developed in two versions: Facility 1, to be accommodated within the US Laboratory Module of the International Space Station; and Facility 2, to be accommodated on board the European Columbus Laboratory. These two facilities are very similar to each other; the main differences being that the US Laboratory version of MSL is accommodated inside the NASA Materials Science Research Rack. This rack is equipped with the Active Rack Isolation System ARIS, which provides a modicum of isolation from microgravity disturbances. 5, record 15, English, - materials%20sciences%20laboratory
