Efficient transmutation of long-lived fission products in a Gamma Factory beam driven advanced nuclear energy system by Baolong Hu, Mieczyslaw Witold Krasny, Wiesław Płaczek, Yun Yuan, Xiaoming Shi, Kaijun Luo, Wen Luo

“…Our comparative studies show that although the neutron production efficiency of the GF $$\gamma$$ -ray beam (per MW of the beam power) is approximately 14 times lower than that of the 500 MeV proton beam, the overall net ANES power production efficiency for the GF beam driver scheme could be comparable to that of the proton beam driver scheme, while providing additional transmutation capacity, not available for the proton beam driven scheme. …”

Experimental study on fire extinguishing efficiency of polymer hydrogel fire extinguishing agent in pine-fir mixed coniferous forest fires by Zhangyin Dai, Congbao Huang, Youcheng Chen, Manyin Zhong, Wenwu He

“…The results show that both hydrogel and CAF can effectively extinguish wood stack fires, and AFFF shows re-ignition phenomenon after extinguishing wood stack fires; Comparison of extinguishing time, cooling rate and heat dissipation capacity revealed that hydrogel was superior to CAF; Hydrogel has a highly efficient fire extinguishing properties. It is calculated that the amount of hydrogel used to extinguish pine and cedar fires is only 54 % of the water required, about 87 % of the amount of Class A foam required under the same circumstances, and about 79 % of the amount of aqueous film-forming foam required; Compared with the foam extinguishing agent, the hydrogel extinguishing agent showed better cooling effect, less extinguishing agent dosage, and shorter extinguishing time of 11 s when extinguishing fires in leaf litter; For the rapid spread of leaf litter combustion and easy to re-ignite characteristics, hydrogel has a significant anti-reignition effect.…”
