In a nuclear plant of Westinghouse design the reactor coolant system components may be forged or cast stainless steel and varies from plant to plant. The reactor coolant pump casings are always cast. Both forged and cast product forms exhibit exceptionally high toughness in the as-build condition; however, the cast material is susceptible to thermal aging. Thermal aging causes significant reduction in fracture toughness, while the tensile strength and yield stress of the materials most often increase. 1, record 3, English, - thermal%20aging

La dénomination de «vieillissement thermique» recouvre toute une série de mécanismes basés sur la diffusion des éléments chimiques et permettant aux «systèmes» métallurgiques de revenir à un état d'équilibre thermodynamique plus stable, sous l'effet de la température de fonctionnement (entre 290 et 350 °C dans le cœur des REP [réacteur à eau sous pression]). Ce retour à l'équilibre se traduit par une évolution microstructurale et par une évolution des propriétés des matériaux. Les principaux mécanismes de vieillissement thermique susceptibles d'apparaître sont la précipitation, la mise en ordre, le vieillissement dynamique et la ségrégation de certaines espèces chimiques. Tous ces mécanismes conduisent plus ou moins à une fragilisation du matériau (avec ou sans durcissement). 3, record 3, French, - vieillissement%20thermique

[...] un système interne, mesurant le flux neutronique à l'intérieur du cœur, et un système externe placé à l'extérieur de la cuve coexistent. La terminologie habituellement retenue pour nommer les systèmes à partir de trigrammes utilise l'appellation RIC (réacteur instrumentation cœur) pour le premier et RPN (réacteur protection nucléaire) pour le second. [...] Le système RPN mesure le niveau absolu de puissance et la distribution relative de puissance en temps réel. La mesure du niveau de puissance est ajustée sur une mesure faite par bilan enthalpique au secondaire. Un ajustement périodique (calibrage) est nécessaire car la proportionnalité entre la mesure externe et le niveau de puissance réel du réacteur dépend de la composante (x, y) de la distribution de puissance qui, on l'a vu, varie avec l'épuisement du combustible. 3, record 4, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20RPN

Significant temperature gradients are present across the fuel particles when a nuclear reactor is producing power. If local temperatures are sufficiently high, nuclear fuel kernels can migrate up the thermal gradient. During this process, the barrier retaining fission product is progressively damaged, and the damage can lead to complete failure of the coating system.

La migration du noyau dans la particule combustible, connue sous le nom d'effet amibe, est reconnue comme un problème préoccupant pour des particules exposées à de forts gradients thermiques. Ce phénomène qui peut conduire à une destruction complète de la particule si le noyau atteint la couche SiC est fortement dépendant, d'une part, des trois paramètres de fonctionnement que sont la température du noyau, le gradient de température dans la particule et le taux de combustion et, d'autre part, de la nature du matériau constituant le noyau. 1, record 12, French, - effet%20amibe

The quantity of the products produced are dependant upon the specific product and the total shielding offered by the atmosphere and surface material overlying the sample. Nuclear products produced by energetic primary and secondary particles show a maximum in their production at a shielding depth of ~0-50 g/cm², whereas nuclear products formed by thermalized neutrons reach a maximum concentration at a shielding depth of ~200 g/cm². 2, record 16, English, - shielding%20depth

A very original set of experiments carried out by the Unit of Molecular Biology of Gene Expression concerns another protein essential for mouse development that is also a transcription factor. This factor known as KBF2 or RBP-Jk is homologous to a Drosophila gene product, Su(H)(Suppressor of Hairless), which belongs to the Notch signal transduction cascade involved in regulating the competence of a cell to respond to specific developmental cues. A likely function of the Su(H) protein is to serve as an anchor on DNA for non DNA-binding transcriptional activators. This function is conserved in the Notch pathway : the activation of this transmembrane receptor likely involves a proteolytic cleavage step which releases its intracellular domain; following nuclear translocation, it activates its target genes by binding to the Su(H) protein, which is already bound to several sites in the target promoters. 2, record 21, English, - Su%28H%29%20protein
