Moulded fuel element comprises: (a) a compacted elongated body of comminuted cellulose waste and water; and (b) a thin layer of finely divided Al on the surface for reaction with the water to form H2 when the element is burned. The wt. ratio of Al: water is 1.5-3:1. Pref. comminuted waste comprises wood and paper, pref. 50% paper pulp and 25-30% wood fibre based on total element wt. Pref. the elem...

In certain types of microwave ovens, e.g. ovens of the single-wall type, the manufacturing of the oven cavity (10) involves the forming of at least one groove-shaped recess (16) in at least one of the cavity walls (14). In order to substantially eliminate the disturbing effect of this recess (16) on the microwave field pattern in the oven cavity (10), a reflecting element in the shape of an elonga...

A sensor system for determining the pH or carbon dioxide concentration of a liquid medium comprising, in combination, a pH-insensitive fluorescent indicator and a pH-sensitive fluorescent indicator which act in concert or a single fluorescence indicator which emits fluorescent signals of different wavelengths in different carriers, which system(s) produce diverging signals, the ratio of which prov...

In a method and an apparatus for heating large amounts of uniform milk samples (11) to about 40 DEG preparatory to laboratory analyses, the samples are currently introduced into a carrousel-like machine. The machine has two axially offset levels (II and III), one (III) of which being a transport level and the other (II) a heating chamber (7) in which the samples are heated by means of high freque...

The invention relates to a fuel assembly for a nuclear reactor comprising a bundle of longitudinal fuel rods which are insertable into the fuel assembly and held together by spacers (1), consisting of cells, arranged along the bundle. The wall of the fuel assembly towards the bundle of fuel rods is provided with a number of first locking members (5) arranged in the longitudial direction of the wal...
