Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
DEF

... the tube of material that houses the nuclear fuel pellets and provides the containment of radioactive species produced during fission.

CONT

Disclosed herein is a zirconium alloy nuclear fuel cladding tube for use in nuclear fuel rods of a nuclear reactor. The nuclear fuel cladding tube comprises an elongated hollow metal tube for accommodating a nuclear fuel and a metal oxide film formed on the outer surface of the metal tube wherein the metal is a zirconium alloy and the oxide film has a thickness of 0. 5~3. 7 µm.

CONT

A fuel rod for a nuclear reactor fuel assembly includes a cladding tube and a plurality of fuel pellets contained in the tube and composed of fissile material, such as uranium dioxide, having a single enrichment of U-235. At least some of the fuel pellets have an annular configuration. Some of the annular fuel pellets have an annulus of a first size, whereas other ... annular fuel pellets have an annulus of a second size different from the first size.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

Matériaux de gainage des réacteurs à eau [...] Concernant les tubes de gainage, ses principales fonctions sont de divers ordres : assurer le maintien de la colonne combustible; isoler le combustible du fluide caloporteur pour le protéger de son action corrosive; évacuer l'énergie; assurer le confinement des produits de fission.

CONT

Dans un combustible pour réacteur à eau légère la matière fissile se présente sous forme de petits cylindres en oxyde d'uranium fritté dits «pastilles». Un certain nombre de ces pastilles est empilé dans un tube - dit tube de gainage ou gaine - scellé aux deux extrémités par des bouchons soudés afin d'isoler la matière fissile du milieu extérieur; cet ensemble forme ce qu'on appelle un crayon combustible.

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

Intermediate-level waste contains higher amounts of radioactivity and some requires shielding. It typically comprises resins, chemical sludges and metal fuel cladding, as well as contaminated materials from reactor decommissioning. It may be solidified in concrete or bitumen for disposal. Generally short-lived waste(mainly from reactors) is buried in a shallow repository, but long-lived waste(from fuel reprocessing) will be disposed of deep underground.

CONT

Intermediate-Level Waste (ILW) - requires shielding and does not generate significant heat. ILW is generally grouped with LLW [low-level wastes], rather than HLW [high-level wastes], for purposes of this report.

OBS

The plural form "wastes" is very frequently used.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Déchets nucléaires
CONT

Les déchets peuvent présenter des activités très diverses; on les classe en déchets de haute, de moyenne ou de faible activité, mais il faut noter que les distinctions ne sont pas toujours nettes : si, par haute activité, on désigne des concentrations de centaines ou de milliers de Ci/1, (curies par litre; 1 Ci = 3,7 X 1010 désintégrations par seconde) et par faible activité des concentrations de l'ordre du mCi/1, on trouve entre ces cas extrêmes toute une gamme de déchets d'activités intermédiaires.

CONT

Déchets de faibles et moyennes activités (déchets FMA).

OBS

L'emploi de la forme plurielle «déchets» est très fréquent.

Record 5 2009-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The UNGG(Uranium Natural Graphite Gaz) is an obsolete design of nuclear power reactor developed by France. It was graphite moderated, cooled by carbon dioxide, and fueled with natural uranium metal. It was developed independently of and in parallel to the British Magnox design, and to meet similar requirements. The main difference between the two designs is the fuel cladding material, which was magnesium-zirconium alloy in the UNGG, as opposed to magnesium-aluminium in the Magnox reactor.

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Power Stations
DEF

The elementary unit of the core of a reactor, containing the nuclear fuel.

CONT

Each fuel element includes a cladding, or metal case, that covers the fuel. The cladding prevents the escape of fission products, and it does not readily absorb neutrons.

CONT

[A] fuel element [...] may consist of a single cartridge, or a cluster of fuel pins.

OBS

fuel element: term standardized by ISO.

English

Subject field(s)

DEF

A cladding process in which bars of metal are brushed free of contaminants and then squashed together by huge cylindrical rolls, which exert millions of pounds of pressure per square inch. The force is great enough to generate tenacious atomic bonds between most kinds of metal.

Subject field(s)
  • Modern Construction Methods
  • Exterior Covering Materials
CONT

The exterior Cladding Panel contract for the VGH [Vancouver General Hospital] addition was the largest architectural precast job ever built in BC. The exterior panel faces were cast using white cement and coloured granite aggregates. The exterior surface was machine ground and polished to produce a hard, dense highly reflective finish.

CONT

GRANEX [TM] is an exterior cladding panel of balanced laminate construction composed of natural stone aggregate embedded in an integral glass fiber reinforced composite substrate of core material, polyester resin and inorganic fillers. The resulting panel is aesthetically pleasing, strong and impervious to moisture-even along exposed edges... GRANEX [TM] panels can be attached to virtually any framing or wall system, including metal and wooden studs or furring strips.

CONT

Aim of the project is the development of a mobile laser machining system for a material-fit connection of cladding-panels out of metallic material. In the scope of this project a mobile laser for the range of facade construction should be designed and developed to manufacture connections between exterior cladding-panel and the underconstruction, which fulfils the facade-specific demands in its entirety.

French

CONT

GRANEX est un panneau de parement extérieur à l'aspect agréable, fait d'un mélange stratifié et équilibré de granulat de pierre naturelle noyé dans un substrat composite de matériau de base, de résine de polyester et de charges inorganiques, le tout renforcé de fibres de verre. [...] Les panneaux GRANEX peuvent être fixés sur pratiquement toutes les sortes de charpentes ou de murs, même sur les barres ou fourrures en métal ou en bois.
