OBS

The Federal Accessibility Strategy Action Plan proposes that accessibility be at the core of career management for persons with disabilities by default. The action plan provides that supportive considerations are built in at the initial design stages and on entry into the public service and that each employee who has disabilities is to have an individual accommodation plan.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
CONT

Severe accidents in light-water reactors could lead to the flow of molten core material from the initial core region of the reactor vessel to the lower plenum. Steam explosions have been predicted to occur as a result of the contact of the melt with water available in the plenum. It is presently judged by many workers, that the magnitude of the energy released during such an in-vessel explosion would be insufficient to lead to failure of the containment building …

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
CONT

La condition nécessaire à une explosion vapeur est le simple contact entre les deux fluides, mais les situations les plus énergétiques sont celles où les deux fluides sont mélangés avant que ne se déclenche la fragmentation. Dans les réacteurs à eau pressurisée de tels mélanges pourraient se former après la fusion du cœur lors de la relocalisation du corium en fond de cuve (explosion en cuve) et/ou éventuellement lors de la percée de la cuve et la chute du corium dans le puits de cuve (explosion hors cuve).

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
CONT

[The] high temperature test laboratory (HTTL) will be used to assess the potential for interactions with prototypic materials that may relocate during a severe accident.

CONT

The primary objective for these tests is to assess what, if any, reactions will occur when candidate core catcher materials are exposed to a range of compositions of high temperature, molten prototypic materials. It is anticipated that additional modifications to proposed core catcher materials will be suggested based on initial prototypic material tests.

Domaine(s)

CONT

Deux programmes principaux pour les études d'étalement sont conduits au CEA [Commissariat à l’énergie atomique] : CORINE, qui utilise des matériaux simulants à bas point de fusion (métal de Wood, Hitec, etc..), et Vulcano, qui permet l'étalement de 150 kg de matériau prototypique (corium sans produits de fission). Ces essais permettent d'étudier la physique de l'étalement et de la solidification de matériaux complexes. Dans Vulcano, l'utilisation de matériaux réels permet en plus l'étude des interactions avec différents supports (béton, céramique, etc.).

Subject field(s)
  • Properties of Fuels
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

Four source assemblies are typically installed in initial load of the reactor core : two primary source assemblies and two secondary source assemblies. Each primary source assembly contains one primary source rod and a number of burnable absorber rods. Each secondary source assembly contains a symmetrical grouping of secondary source rodlets... The primary source rod, containing a radioactive material, spontaneously emits neutrons during initial core loading, reactor startup, and initial operation of the first core. After the primary source rod decays beyond the desired neutron flux level, neutrons are then supplied by the secondary source rod. The secondary source rod contains a stable material, which is activated during reactor operation. The activation results in the subsequent release of neutrons.

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics

DEF

The general structural concordance of warped strata lying above a limestone reef or other hard core to the surface of that reef or core, due either to initial dip or to differential compaction, or to both.

CONT

This channel sand is encased in shale (above and below) and due to differential compaction,there is considerable draping of sediments above the sand body. The draping of overlying sediments causes microfracturing through these rocks, and thereby enhances vertical migration of hydrocarbons and fluids, which in turn cause diagenetic changes in the overlying rocks as demonstrated by the resistivity anomaly over this oil field.

OBS

draping: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

N. Chomsky describes his pursuit in theoretical terms as a search for universal grammar(or U. G.) U. G. is genetically determined at its initial state(in the organism) and is specified, sharpened, articulated, and refines under conditions set by experience, to yield the particular grammars found in specific groups of individuals(1980, p. 234). A theory of universal grammar is said to be an explanatory theory. To know a language is to be in a certain state of mind/brain : this state is described by a core grammar which consists of certain principles of universal grammar, which are to be discovered by linguists. Thus, Chomsky takes a purely realistic stance : language knowledge is a series of states in the brain... Now he has come to the conclusion that it is more productive to speak of various principles that govern language use. These principles begin in human biology. They determine the kinds of grammar that are available in principle(Chomsky 1979). The principles of U. G. are various subsystems, which go by names like binding theory, control theory, government, theta theory, and the like-each of which features a limited degree of parametric variation.
