Submicron-sized silicon oxycarbide spheres as anodes for alkali ion batteries

Silicon oxycarbide nanospheres were synthesized as an anode for sodium and lithium ion batteries. In the sodium system the material delivers high capacities of up to 200 mA h g−1 at 25 mA g−1.

35 Years of Operating Experience of PHENIX NPP Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor

Design features: Reactor core. The reactor block is of an integrated design (pool) except for a few auxiliary circuits. The entire primary sodium system, containing 800 tons of radioactive sodium, is enclosed in the main reactor vessel, which is 11.8 m in diameter (Fig. 1).
