to do good business with enriched uranium, especially in the USA, Canada and Great Britain. “TRiststructural-ISOtropic” is a nuclear fuel made of triple-coated Pac-spheres (plutonium, americium, curium). There is also a carbon layer. TRISO was developed for the Dragon high-temperature reactor (1967 – 1975). TRISO was later used at AVR Jülich, but not...

In Halden, among other things, fuel rods containing thorium are being tested, which the US company Lightbridge wants to market (5). The author describes the testing of the fuel elements in a mixture of thorium and plutonium in the Norwegian Halden as follows in the global nuclear efforts of the nuclear industry: “In Halden, experiments are being carried out on the use of thorium as...

Device" (RDD) or - more simply - from a "dirty bomb". It is necessary to make a clear distinction here. Atomic bombs are radioactive nuclear fission weapons made from highly enriched uranium or plutonium, which release an enormous explosive effect at high heat through a nuclear chain reaction, such as: B. the atomic bomb of Hiroshima. In contrast, a radioactive IED-A is “merely”...
elements (up to atomic number 60), whereas older stars, in their last major appearance, emit the heavier elements. The metals, from iron to gold and platinum to uranium and plutonium, come from the remains of various 'supernovae' with which very heavy, old stars said goodbye.

What is low level radioactive radiation? INWORKS study
Low Radiation Radioactivity The INWORKS Study Massive Radiation - The Consequences The world's first atomic bomb test 'Trinity' on July 16, 1945 in New Mexico was the explosion of a plutonium bomb and provided the first hard data. By 1993, the USA had carried out 119 above-ground nuclear weapons tests in the Nevada desert (only about 100 km north of Las Vegas) and the 67...

River Site is a sprawling nuclear weapons production facility established in the 1950s and covering over 800 km². Five SRS reactors produced 36 tons of weapons-grade plutonium and radioactive tritium (H3). These activities yielded approximately 140 million liters of highly radioactive liquid wastewater, housed in 51 aging steel tanks and...

which are clearly attributable to the sample preparation and not to the sample itself, and therefore do not contain any relevant information. Higher atomic number elements such as thorium, uranium and plutonium, whose lines lie in the range 12,97 to 18,29 keV, were not detected. If these elements were present in the sample, further characteristic lines in the range of 3,0 to 3,5...

There was an accident in Chernobyl in which radioactivity was released into the surrounding area. Destroyed fuel balls containing tens of thousands of 0,4 mm PAC beads (plutonium, americium, curium) were blown out over the exhaust chimney. The measuring strips for radioactivity emissions at the THTR operator showed blank spaces of...

Container piled up into a ball heap. In addition to the graphite, a single fuel ball contains thousands of tiny PAC beads that can just be seen with the eye. PAC stands for Plutonium, Americium, Curium. If the highly radioactive fuel ball is destroyed, the tiny spheres and graphite dust can spread and become a major danger. 52 balls destroyed...

In soil samples near the THTR, Samantha Seithe, together with graduate biologist Achim Hucke as supervisor, discovered conspicuous microscopic balls that resemble the PAC beads (plutonium, americium, curium) from the THTR fuel elements. Through their elaborate statistical recording of 35.000 birth and death dates in the cemeteries within 15 kilometers of the reactor...

and where the reactor is radioactively contaminated (missing nuclide atlas), we are all poking around in the fog today. A little tip: According to the operator, the 1 kilograms of plutonium present in the THTR have a half-life of 5 years. -- So much for “letting it subside.” Repacking 24.000 balls? For the 612.000 spent fuel balls from the THTR, the result in the near future...
