Krajkó, Judit (author), Varga, Zsolt (author), Wallenius, Maria (author), Mayer, Klaus (author), Konings, R. (author)The applicability and limitations of sulphur isotope ratio as a nuclear forensic signature have been studied. The typically applied leaching methods in uranium mining processes were simulated for five uranium ore samples and the n(<sup>34</sup>S)/n(<sup>32</sup>S) ratios were measured. The sulphur isotope ratio variation during uranium ore...journal article 2016

Di Lemma, F.G. (author), Colle, J.Y. (author), Rasmussen, G. (author), Konings, R.J.M. (author)Aerosols created by the vaporization of simulated spent nuclear fuel (simfuel) were produced by laser heating techniques and characterised by a wide range of post-analyses. In particular attention has been focused on determining the fission product behaviour in the aerosols, in order to improve the evaluation of the source term and consequently...journal article 2015

(author)The LiF–ThF4–PuF3–UF4 system is the reference salt mixture considered for the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) concept started with PuF3. In order to obtain the complete thermodynamic description of this quaternary system, two binary systems (ThF4–PuF3 and UF4–PuF3) and two ternary systems (LiF–ThF4–PuF3 and LiF–UF4–PuF3) have been assessed for...journal article 2015

(author)A laser heating approach combined with fast pyrometry in a thermal arrest method was used to provide new data for the melting/solidification phase transition in mixed (PuO2 + ThO2) at high temperature. At low concentration of ThO2 in PuO2 a minimum in the solidification temperature in the pseudo binary (PuO2 + ThO2) was observed. The minimum was...journal article 2014

Wiegmans, B. (author), Konings, J.W. (author)In Europe, numerous obstacles have been identified which prevent the (extensive) use of intermodal transport. A major motivation to promote intermodal transport is that its cost performance is often assumed better than road-only transport. Considering that the cost of transport services remains one of the most important criteria for the modal...conference paper 2013
