Characterization and science of an aluminum fuel treatment process
… aluminum-water reaction, twice that of diesel fuel and forty-five times that of lithium-ion batteries, makes this new fuel a promising safe alternative to high-pressure hydrogen storage. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust and has long been recognized as a potential fuel …

Heterogeneity of Stand Structure, Fuels, and Wildfire Hazard in Dry and Moist Old-Growth Ponderosa Pine Forests: Case Studies from Western Montana
Silvicultural restoration treatments are increasingly proposed to restore ecological function and remediate catastrophic wildfire hazards in old-growth ponderosa pine stands throughout the western United States. However, stand heterogeneity has been inadequately addressed in restoration and fuel …

Reduction of Solid Uranium Dioxide in Calcium Salts
… to the maximum and recycle spent nuclear fuel through burn-up in the Generation IV reactor designs, one of which is the molten salt reactor (MSR). Therefore, the MSR can use the spent nuclear fuel as a fresh fuel when the actinides recycle. That reprocessing of spent fuel could be one of …

A strategy for transition from a uranium fueled, open cycle SFR to a transuranic fueled, closed cycle sodium cooled fast reactor
… often termed fast reactors, offer large fuel utilization improvements over the thermal reactors currently used for nuclear energy generation. Conventional fast reactor deployment has been hindered by the perceived need to use plutonium as fuel, coupling the commercial introduction of fast …

Disentangling how climate change and forest management alter fuels and fire regimes in Sierra Nevada forests
… To address these changes, forest managers use fuel treatments to reduce fire hazard, return fire regimes to their historical range of variability, and promote stable forest carbon. These treatments include a range of mechanical (e.g., thinning, pruning, mastication) and prescribed fire (e.g., …
