2. Dry cask storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage

   Dry cask storage. Dry cask storage is a method of storing high-level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel that has already been cooled in a spent fuel pool for at least one year and often as much as ten years. [1][2] Casks are typically steel cylinders that are either welded or bolted closed. The fuel rods inside are surrounded by ...

   The Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository, as designated by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act amendments of 1987, [2] is a proposed deep geological repository storage facility within Yucca Mountain for spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive waste in the United States. The site is on federal land adjacent to the Nevada Test Site in Nye ...

4. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

   NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...

5. Nuclear flask - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_flask

   Nuclear flask. A nuclear flask is a shipping container that is used to transport active nuclear materials between nuclear power station and spent fuel reprocessing facilities. Each shipping container is designed to maintain its integrity under normal transportation conditions and during hypothetical accident conditions.

   An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS or AS/RS) consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations. [1] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are typically used in applications where: There is a very high volume of loads being moved into and out ...

7. Rotarod performance test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotarod_performance_test

   A mouse rotarod apparatus. The rotarod performance test is a performance test based on a rotating rod with forced motor activity being applied, usually by a rodent. The test measures parameters such as riding time (seconds) or endurance. Some of the functions of the test include evaluating balance, grip strength and motor coordination of the ...
