Development of biological coal gasification (MicGAS process)

Description: Effect of 5% and 10% coal solids loadings was studied in two types of bench scale bioreactors and in chemostat cultures. The bench scale reactors used were rotating biological contactor (RBC) and upflow bioreactors. In RBC, Texas lignite was loaded at 0% and 5% (w/v), while in the upflow and chemostat reactors at 0%, 5% and 10%. Methane, total gas production, soluble carbon and volatile fatty acid production (VFA), as well as microbial growth (measured as cell protein) were monitored. Gas analy… more

Assessing the Proliferation Resistance of Innovative Nuclear Fuel Cycles

Description: The National Nuclear Security Administration is developing methods for nonproliferation assessments to support the development and implementation of U.S. nonproliferation policy. This paper summarizes the key results of that effort. Proliferation resistance is the degree of difficulty that a nuclear material, facility, process, or activity poses to the acquisition of one or more nuclear weapons. A top-level measure of proliferation resistance for a fuel cycle system is developed here from a hie… more
