Bioaccumulation, food web transfer, and tissue distribution of polonium-210 and lead-210 in Canadian freshwater ecosystems

Understanding the bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of naturally occurring radionuclides is essential for assessing ecological risk in freshwater systems. This study provides a large-scale assessment of polonium-210 ( 210 Po) and lead-210 ( 210 Pb) bioaccumulation, trophic tra...

Laser beam welding properties and microstructural characterization of Kanthal APMT ferritic alloys in the application of accident tolerant fuel cladding

Ferritic FeCrAl steel is one of the most promising candidate materials for accident tolerant fuel cladding due to its excellent high temperature mechanical properties, low thermal expansion coefficient, and most importantly, very low void swelling rate under neutron irradiations....
