Advanced technology developments

PFR was also used to test advanced technology developments of potential interest in future fast reactors. Thus, as an example, in 1982, an under-sodium viewer, specially 

The early problems with the steam genotitors highlighted a need to improve nondestructive methods of detecting small flaws in relatively inaccessible welds. A mjyor programme of development work led to major refin ents, particularly in ultrasonic techniques.

At first sight, then, complex mechanical setups as we propose for semicon-tinuous or continuous freeze-drying seem susceptible to serious hazards in the sterility control of the operation. However, this is not as dramatic as it looks since the essential part of the process—if not the entire process—is carried out automatically and can be done entirely within a sterile environment by remote control. Indeed, today highly sophisticated automation can be achieved if we resort to the advanced technologies developed for the nuclear industry and profit by the experience of their operators. However, this sophistication will definitely bear on the cost and this can be a serious drawback for conventional low-priced products. 

The continuously advancing technological developments inevitably lead to changes in these rules and regulations. The latest issues of the standards can be inquired at... 

Surface of c-Si substrates can also be modified by advanced technologies developed for modem sophisticated electronic devices. It makes c-Si attractive material for creating hybrid surface structures that can easily be integrated within multifunctional clusters of electronic devices. However, development of hybrid structures with biomolecules is often problematic due to complicated c-Si surface...

Other than Hitachi/Shin-Kobe, Japan Storage Battery is very actively developing an HEV battery. They launched a Li-Ion battery for an HEV truck for Mitsubishi Motor Co. in 2002. The feature for their battery is the manganese-based material in the positive electrode. The members of the national project for fuel-cell vehicle application, other than Japan Storage Battery and Hitachi/Shin-Kobe as battery developers, are Panasonic, and national laboratories, universities, private companies, and so forth as the advanced technology developers. The synergistic energy of this project is expected to accelerate the development...

Use radwaste tiuck bays to provide for specialised waste processing equipment. These would be brought to the plant for special problems, as well as to accommodate any advanced technologies developed in the future over the 60-year plant life. This equipment is not required for normal plant operation. 

Despite the recent rapid development of secondary lithium ion/lithium polymer batteries, advanced technology development, designs, and fabrication processes are still being developed and introduced into the lead-acid battery industry. Table 1.1 shows the major advantages and disadvantages of lead-acid batteries.
