The main purpose of this work is to propose a modern one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1 D CNN) configurations for distinguishing separate PD impulses from different types of PD sources while the parameters of these sources are changed. Three PD sources were built for&#...

This work deals with the updated reference solution of the Full-Core VVER-440 PK-3+ benchmark which is based on the extended calculation benchmark from 2018. [1] The modification consists of a new type of fuel assembly with PK-3 design in the loading pattern. The main aim ...

This work deals with the “Full-Core” VVER-1000 calculation benchmark which was proposed on the 26th Symposium of AER [1]. Recently, the calculation benchmarks “Full-Core” VVER-440 [2] and its extension [3] have been introduced in the AER community with positive response [4, 5]. Therefor...

This article aims to present unique equipment of a cold crucible (CC) that allows induction melting of metal oxides (the so-called induction skull melting – ISM). Melting is based on the principle of induction heating, in which energy is transferred from the inductor to the&#x...

This paper describes the experimental induction skull melting (ISM) of Al2O3 in a cold crucible (CC). The realization of the experiment consists of the preparation of segmental CC for melting. Starting-material (aluminum) overheating and initiation of an exothermic reaction. Gradual melting ...
