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 1, 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 1, French, - vieillissement%20thermique

Explosion non simultanée, non contrôlée et très irrégulière de tous les explosifs puissants (HE) d'armes nucléaires ou de quelques-uns d'entre eux. Une telle explosion puissante irrégulière, causée par des chocs ou l'exposition au feu, n'a pas la concentration ou la puissance nécessaire pour produire une explosion nucléaire. L'expression utilisée se rapporte à la conséquence normale de l'exposition d'armes nucléaires à des chocs ou au feu, à savoir l'explosion d'une partie des explosifs puissants (HE) de l'armement: cette explosion entraîne à son tour la dispersion du reste des explosifs puissants et des matières fissiles. 1, record 12, French, - explosion%20en%20un%20seul%20point

Another important type of non-Newtonian fluid is a viscoplastic or "yield stress" fluid. This is a fluid which will not flow when only a small shear stress is applied. The shear stress must exceed a critical value known as the yield stress... for the fluid to flow. For example, when you open a tube of toothpaste, it would be good if the paste does not flow at the slightest amount of shear stress. We need to apply an adequate force before the toothpaste will start flowing. So, viscoplastic fluids behave like solids when the applied shear stress is less than the yield stress. Once it exceeds the yield stress, the viscoplastic fluid will flow just like a fluid. Bingham plastics are a special class of viscoplastic fluids that exhibit a linear behavior of shear stress against shear rate.... Examples of viscoplastic fluids are drilling mud, nuclear fuel slurries, mayonnaise, toothpaste, and blood. 1, record 13, English, - yield%20stress%20fluid
