  1. New XeF2 adduct cations with PdIV and PtIV were identified
    Synthesis and characterization of novel [PdF3(XeF2)3]+ and [PtF3(XeF2)3]+ adduct cations represents a new class of XeF2 coordination compounds to fluoridometal cations.
  2. Graphite modification reduced molten LBE infiltration
    Polycarbosilane impregnation and pyrolysis process significantly reduces molten LBE infiltration into nuclear graphite, improving impermeability for lead-cooled fast reactor coolant channels.
  3. Passive safety systems handled the cold-leg LBLOCA in the SCW-SMR study
    Study analyzes cold-leg LBLOCA for supercritical water SMR using parametric analysis, demonstrating passive safety systems effectively manage the accident without active high-pressure injection.
