From South Korea to Belgium: Testing a high-density research reactor fuel
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed a high-density uranium silicide fuel designed to replace high-enriched uranium in research reactors. Recent irradiation tests appear to be successful, KAERI reports, which means the fuel could be commercialized to continue a key global nuclear nonproliferation effort—converting research reactors to run on low-enriched uranium fuel.

Several hundred tin dots with controlled size were easily fabricated on transparency film by using an inkjet printer with SnSO4 solution. A surface treatment using Tween 20 as the surfactant was necessary. The SnSO4 was reduced to metallic tin with NaBH4. The thickness of metallic tin was 25 nm for one throughput.
