Tritium release behavior of beryllium pebbles after neutron irradiation between 523 and 823K
2013
Abstract Post-irradiation tritium release from the Pebble Bed Assembly (PBA) neutron-irradiated beryllium (Be) pebbles (∅ ≈ 1 mm; the total tritium inventory 2–4 GBq/g) was investigated on annealing in He + 0.1% H 2 . Temperature ramps of 2.3 K/min followed by annealing for 1 h at 1310–1320 K resulted in complete detritiation of the PBA Be pebbles. The tritium burst release occurred after a time lag of 1–6.5 h during constant temperature anneals at 1089–1180 K, with the release time measured after reaching the annealing temperature. Tritium burst release was also observed to occur during cool down. Anneals at 1089 K for 8 h and at 1045 K for 23 h caused detritiation of the PBA Be pebbles by…
Zur Achillessehnenbelastung im alpinen Skisport
1987
In an attempt to gain more systematic knowledge of the biomechanical mechanism involved in the genesis of injuries caused by a fall during skiing, we undertook a comprehensive analysis of more than 100 experimental ski falls simulated under controlled conditions. The well-known relation between speed, release time of the ski binding and injury risk of the lower extremity was confirmed by our experimental results. The EMG investigations revealed the central importance of the musculus triceps surae, and hence of the Achilles tendon, during a fall. The results of our biomechanical model indicate that the present method of setting the ski binding according to the tibial strength, is rather ques…
