Joint NEA project performs high-burnup test
An article in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s July news bulletin noted that a first test has been completed for the High Burnup Experiments in Reactivity Initiated Accident (HERA) project. The project aim is to understand the performance of light water reactor fuel at high burnup under reactivity-initiated accidents (RIA).

The selenium content of over 120 fossil-fuel samples from various areas in the United States have been determined using neutron activation analysis combined with extractive distillation of selenium. The Se/S ratio in these fuel samples is also calculated to determine the constancy of this ratio infossilfuels. Possible applications of Se/S ratio measurements in air-pollution studies are discussed.
