ABIOGENIC INFORMATION COUPLING BETWEEN NUCLEIC ACID AND PROTEIN,OR, HOW PROTEIN AND DNA WERE MARRIED

Description: There is now experimental evidence for selectivity between the amino acid and the nucleic acid base which is the beginning of the chemical translation process from one linear system to the other. The linear system of the nucleic acid is, of course, an excellent place to store the information, whereas the linear system of the polypeptide, on the other hand, is the versatile system which can perform many different types of reactions but is unable to store information reliably. The experiments the… more

Design criteria for an HTGR reference fuel reprocessing plant

Description: Design criteria are given for a conceptual reprocessing plant capable of processing HTGR-type graphite-based fuel. The single-purpose plant is designed to reprocess 260 metric tons of fuel per year consisting of HTGR reference-type and Fort St. Vrain fuel plus a small amount of Peach Bottom fuel. The design incorporates a burn-leach type headend, separate modified Acid-thorex flowsheets for solvent extraction recovery of the heavy metals from both the fertile and fissile particles, and denitrat… more
