Examination of hot particles originating from damaged fuels at the nuclear power plant Paks
Radioactive samples can contain radionuclides not only in homogeneous form, but also as 'hot' particles. With the characterisation of these high activity particles, information about the source of the samples can be obtained. The examination of hot particles is important in the case of environmental as well as nuclear samples; this paper details the analyses of particles originating from ...

Get comparable ASTM/EN data for biodiesel blend while saving time and money
If you need to verity how much biodiesel is in a diesel fuel, sending a sample off to a laboratory can take several days to get an answer. This can add unnecessary delays if a truck has just been loaded for a delivery, but must wait for the lab result. The best solution is to have an on-site test where the fuel is loaded or delivered. The two most widely used analytical methods for measuring the ...
