Nuclear Reactors 870 - Czech Researchers Patent Polycrystalline Diamond Coating For Zirconium Cladding On Nuclear Fuel Rods To Prevent Corrosion
Researchers at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics of the Czech Technical University (CTU CIIRC) and the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (FZU AV ČR) received a patent from the European Union in April last year for their discovery that a polycrystalline diamond coating can protect nuclear fuel rods against corrosion during both normal operation

Small Inexpensive Particle Accelerators Based On Plasmas Are Under Development - Part 2 of 2 Parts
Part 2 of 2 Parts (Please read Part 1 first)
The EuPRAXIS design team was dedicated to reducing the size and cost of particle accelerators for commercial use. Basically, there are two ways to accelerate particles. They can be given a very strong boost over a short distance or a lot of small boosts over a long distance. The second choice is the principle used at the LHC.
