Predictors Of Interindividual Differences In Vulnerability To Neurobehavioral Consequences Of Chronic Partial Sleep Restriction
… age, and ability to sustain wakefulness on the MWT were associated with relative resilience to decrements in vigilant attention during sleep restriction. Interindividual differences in vulnerability to the effects of sleep loss were not accounted for by prior sleep history, habitual sleep …

Optimized core design of a supercritical carbon dioxide-cooled fast reactor
… While the original GFR chosen by the GIF is a 600MWth version using Helium as a coolant, the work presented here is for a 2400 MWt, core using S-CO2 as a coolant, which has comparable thermal efficiency (-45%) at much lower temperatures (650TC v. 8500C) A reactor core for use in this direct cycle …

Managing tritium inventory and release with carbon materials in a fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor
… rate from 2400 Ci/day to 40 Ci/day for the 236 MWt FHR. Further, the total tritium inventory in the system decreased by more than 70%, from 68,400 Ci to 19,400 Ci. This demonstrates that adsorption technology can greatly reduce the risk of radiological release during normal operation and reactor …
