Pebble dynamics is important for the safe operation of pebble-bed high temperature gas-cooled reactors and is a complicated problem of great concern. To investigate it more authentically, a computed tomography pebble flow detecting (CT-PFD) system has been constructed, in which a three-dimensional model is simulated according to the ratio of 1 : 5 with the core of HTR-PM. A multislice helical CT is utilized to acquire the reconstructed cross-sectional images of simulated pebbles, among which special tracer pebbles are designed to indicate pebble flow. Tracer pebbles can be recognized from many other background pebbles because of their heavy kernels that can be resolved in CT images. The detecting principle and design parameters of the system were demonstrated by a verification experiment on an existing CT system in this paper. Algorithms to automatically locate the three-dimensional coordinates of tracer pebbles and to rebuild the trajectory of each tracer pebble were presented and verified. The proposed pebble-detecting and tracking technique described in this paper will be implemented in the near future.

The surface morphology of pure W bulks and nanocrystalline tungsten films was investigated after exposure to a low-energy (100 eV/D), high-flux (1.8 × 1021 D·m−2s−1) deuterium plasma. Nanocrystalline tungsten films of 6 μm thickness were deposited on tungsten bulks and exposed to deuterium plasma at various fluences ranging from 1.30 × 1025 to 5.18 × 1025 D·m−2. Changes in surface morphology from before to after irradiation were studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The W bulk exposed to low-fluence plasma (1.30 × 1025 D·m−2) shows blisters. The blisters on the W bulk irradiated to higher-fluence plasma are much larger (~2 µm). The blisters on the surface of W films are smaller in size and lower in density than those of the W bulks. In addition, the modifications exhibit the appearance of cracks below the surface after deuterium plasma irradiation. It is suggested that the blisters are caused by the diffusion and aggregation of the deuterium-vacancy clusters. The deuterium retention of the W bulks and nanocrystalline tungsten films was studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The retention of deuterium in W bulks and W films increases with increasing deuterium plasma fluence when irradiated at 500 K.

ABSTRACTWe compared growth enhancement of radish induced by O2, air, and Ar plasma irradiation. The average length of radish sprouts cultivated for 4 days after O2plasma irradiation is 70% longer than that of sprouts without irradiation. The O2plasma irradiation is more effective in enhancing growth than air and Ar radio frequency plasma irradiation. Cell morphology and cell size of sprouts with O2plasma irradiation is nearly the same as those without irradiation. These results suggest that plasma induced acceleration of cell proliferation brings about the rapid growth.
