The program for nuclear power in Indonesia includes plans to build nuclear reactors in the country for peaceful purposes. Indonesia prohibited development of nuclear weapon or any offensive uses due to signing the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons on 2 March 1970 and ratified it as Law No. 8/1978 on 18 December 1978.
A fast-neutron reactor, meaning one with little or no neutron moderator and hence utilising fast neutrons, can be configured as a breeder reactor, producing more fissile material than it consumes, using fertile material in a blanket around the core, or contained in special fuel rods.
Neutron capture is a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus and one or more neutrons collide and merge to form a heavier nucleus. [1] Since neutrons have no electric charge, they can enter a nucleus more easily than positively charged protons, which are repelled electrostatically.
The Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (Indonesian: Badan Pengawas Tenaga Nuklir, BAPETEN) is an Indonesian non-Ministerial Government Institution (LPND) which is under and responsible to the President.
In applications such as nuclear reactors, a neutron poison (also called a neutron absorber or a nuclear poison) is a substance with a large neutron absorption cross-section. [1]
Pigs and bars of Grade #2 Babbitt. Babbitt metal or bearing metal is any of several alloys used for the bearing surface in a plain bearing.. The original Babbitt alloy was invented in 1839 by Isaac Babbitt [1] in Taunton, Massachusetts, United States.
Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu and atomic number 29, known for its high thermal and electrical conductivity.
The long-held view is that the carbon atoms fit into octahedral interstices in a close-packed metal lattice when the metal atom radius is greater than approximately 135 pm: [2] When the metal atoms are cubic close-packed, (ccp), then filling all of the octahedral interstices with carbon achieves 1:1 stoichiometry with the rock salt structure.
