Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

Moderation is a very important balance in a reactor. If a reactor has the perfect amount of moderation, it has the highest power efficiency. Too much moderator in respect to fuel creates a situation called overmoderation. The opposite condition is undermoderation. Overmoderation can be dangerous, because this means when a moderator becomes less efficient, which tends to happen when it gets warmer, the reactor actually increases in power.

CONT

Undermoderation is a key criterion for reactor stability and it must also be applied to fast reactors (where the molten metal has some slowing-down effect.

Key term(s)
  • under-moderation

CONT

... the soil condition, at the time set for the keyline cultivation of some areas, was very wet, and in the new areas, soil asphyxiation was evident.... Rain persisted and kept all the soil overwet right through to and past the middle of winter. Under these conditions, air which is so obviously essential, is excluded by excess water. The desirable balance of moisture, warmth and air in the soil had been destroyed.

CONT

Vegetative deaths caused by leachate generally are due to waterlogging and consequent soil anaerobism - not leachate toxicity.

CONT

CONT

La forêt de Touffou est en effet un site humide, ce qui a posé et pose encore des problèmes au niveau de la gestion forestière. Cette humidité constante provoque une asphyxie du sol qui limite ainsi le développement des arbres.

CONT

Microtunnelling is becoming increasingly important. Whether house connections, gas and water pipelines, pipe renovation or laying cables - the principle of underground pipe-jacking has proven successful. Essential advantages are environmentally friendly processes, minimized disturbance to public highways, easy working in urban areas, economical management... Auger material removal will be applied in soil without ground water. The advantages of the auger system: Simpler machine design than the AVN system and direct discharge of the excavated material, especially with cohesive ground.

CONT

Microtunneling specifications... The measuring and balancing of earth and ground water pressure shall be achieved by use of a slurry or cased auger system. The system shall be capable of incremental adjustments to maintain face stability for the soil conditions encountered... The system shall monitor and continuously balance the soil and ground water pressure. The system shall be capable of adjustments required to maintain face stability for the particular soil condition to be encountered to prevent loss of soil or uncontrolled ground water inflow.

A variable may either give status or operating information(also called "level" or "rate" variables, respectively). A status variable defines a condition as of a given point in time, such as a cash balance of $17, 000 at the end of the year. An operating variable defines a rate of activity during a given time period, such as sales of $73, 000 during the month of April. A financial balance sheet typifies status or level variables, and an income statement illustrates operating or rate variables.
