20060088138 - Method and apparatus for the generation and the utilization of plasma solid: A method and apparatus for producing stable plasma inside a solid are provided. According to an embodiment of the method, a source of ionic particles is provided, the source being selected from an ionic solution having a pH less than 1.0, plasma gas, and a gas atmosphere. A direct electrical...

20060078080 - Small diameter bore pressure vessel penetration modification: The present invention discloses a system for repairing small internal diameter (1.24 in. or less) Inconel 600 bottom mounted nozzles on reactor pressure vessels. The system enlarges the original small diameter nozzle bore to a larger size and ads a larger ID Inconel 600 replacement nozzle therein which allows IDST...

20060078081 - System and method for determining fluctuating pressure loading on a component in a reactor steam dome: A system and method for accurately estimating the fluctuating pressure loads on components, such as steam dryers, within a BWR steam dome using pressure time history measurements made on components of the BWR facility external to the steam dome. The method uses existing sensors to obtain the pressure time histories....

20060072697 - Symmetrically articulated reactor: A reactor formed of an articulated substantially spherical structure alternates between an expanded state and a collapsed state based on an environment to which it is exposed. An interior space of the articulated substantially spherical structure defines a reaction space with a first volume of the reaction space associated with...

20060072698 - Method for producing actinium-225: A method for producing Ac-225 is presented, wherein Ac-225 is produced by bombardment of Th-232 with hydrogen isotope nuclei accelerated in a cyclotron. The method, which allows production of Ac-225 at high yields and purity levels, is particularly interesting for the supply or Ac-225 or of the daughter Bi-213 for...
