A burnable poison rod for use in a nuclear reactor comprises a metallic tube with upper and lower closure means, a neutron absorber positioned within the cladding, and a neutron moderating spacer means positioning the neutron absorber in spaced relation to the lower closure means. The neutron moderating spacing means can comprise a solid neutron moderating material, or a liquid coolant moderator contained within the lower section of the cladding with a sealing plug positioned between the neutron absorber and the liquid coolant moderator. 1, record 1, English, - burnable%20poison%20rod

On peut signaler la détection, en juillet 1979 lors des essais physiques à puissance nulle de la tranche de Bugey 5, d'une anomalie particulière survenue sur les crayons de poisons consommables réalisés en Pyrex (verre silico-boraté). Ces crayons étaient fabriqués en deux parties; celles-ci s'étaient séparées lors du transport, laissant apparaître un vide qui avait provoqué un pic de flux au milieu du cœur. 1, record 1, French, - crayon%20de%20poison%20consommable

Trickling water collector. This type of collector uses corrugated metal panels for the exposed circulation of the heat transfer medium. The transfer medium "trickles" down the channels from a manifold or spray distribution at the top to a trough [at] the bottom of the collector. ... Efficient operation of this collector is limited to low temperatures because of evaporation effects. 1, record 3, English, - trickling%20water%20collector

[La] première réalisation d'un capteur à ruissellement d'eau [a été] mis au point et breveté par Harry Thomason. L'absorbeur, constitué par un panneau de toiture ondulé en aluminium et peint en noir, est recouvert par une vitre. L'eau est pompée dans un tuyau (ou tubulure) horizontal qui est placé le long de la crête des capteurs. [...] Par rapport aux capteurs à eau à conduits fermés [le] système Thomason et d'autres types de capteurs ouverts ont un rendement thermique plus faible, à cause de l'évaporation de l'eau contenue dans les rigoles de l'absorbeur et de sa condensation au contact du vitrage. 2, record 3, French, - capteur%20%C3%A0%20ruissellement

To recover liquid hydrocarbons from natural or refinery gas in a gas-absorption plant. The wet gas enters the absorber at the bottom and rises to the top, encountering a stream of absorption oil(a light oil or similar fraction) traveling downward over bubble-cap trays. The lighter fraction removes, or absorbs, the heavier liquid hydrocarbons from the wet gas. 2, record 5, English, - absorb
