[Cœur du réacteur.] Tous les assemblages (fissiles, fertiles, de contrôle) qui doivent être refroidis par circulation forcée de sodium sont munis de pieds venant s’enfoncer dans les chandelles d’un sommier constituant un collecteur d’alimentation en sodium froid (400 °C environ) […] Pieds et chandelles sont munis d’orifices calibrés qui permettent d’assurer une répartition convenable du sodium dans les différents assemblages, en fonction de leur puissance. En les traversant, le sodium primaire s’échauffe de 150 à 180 °C, et sort du cœur à une température moyenne d’environ 550 °C. 1, record 1, French, - chandelle

Power Cutting, Inc., under contract to GPU Nuclear, has engineered, fabricated, and tested an automated cutting equipment system(ACES) to conduct the cutting of the LCSA [lower core support assembly]. The cutting system will include plasma arc cutting, rotary grinding, and abrasive water jetting. It will be a system consisting of a support frame, movable carriage, and trolley for horizontal x, y direction control, and a movable vertical z axis robotic telescoping arm supported on the trolley/carriage arrangement. The support frame, carriage, trolley, and robotic arm will be set on and above the LCSA, submerged in [approximately] 35 ft of reactor coolant. It will be remotely operated and controlled. 2, record 2, English, - automated%20cutting%20equipment%20system

The nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) gyroscope is a rate-integrating, single-axis gyro that obtains its rotational information from the dynamic angular motion of certain nuclei... The NMR gyro utilizes the intrinsic property of certain nuclei to determine angular displacement about a defined input axis. These nuclei have angular momentum, hence magnetic moment. 5, record 4, English, - magnetic%20moment

Le principe de la résonance magnétique repose sur le fait que lorsqu'un moment magnétique situé dans un champ magnétique est soumis à une excitation magnétique périodique, son comportement n'est influencé par l'excitation que si celle-ci à une fréquence bien déterminée. Cette perturbation affecte le comportement électromagnétique de l'échantillon étudié et peut être mesurée. On obtient alors une courbe de variation appelée raie de résonance. La mesure directe de la résonance magnétique a été améliorée à l'occasion des études sur les radars pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. 6, record 4, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique

Lévitation magnétique [...] - rotation: il est possible de faire léviter un objet avec des aimants fixes. Un exemple en est le lévitron : il s'agit d'une toupie aimantée qui est en lévitation au-dessus d'une base aimantée. En fait, le lévitron peut être considéré comme une sorte de corps diamagnétique : par rotation, on stabilise la direction du moment magnétique dans l'espace (on a un gyroscope magnétique) et on place cet aimant dans un champ magnétique anti-parallèle. 7, record 4, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique
