Our latest study in collaboration with SCK CEN delves into the corrosion behavior of 316L austenitic stainless steel in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic at 500°C! Eloa Lopes Maia, Aleksandr Tsybanev, Serguei Gavrilov, Valentyn Tsisar, Jun Lim, and Iris De Graeve found that maximum corrosion damage and highest oxygen consumption occurred at intermediate oxygen levels, due to Fe₃O₄ equilibrium and diffusion-limited processes on the steel surface. The proposed mechanism highlights oxygen-enhanced dissolution through a mix of solid steel dissolution and oxidation of steel constituents in the liquid metal.

PhD of Eloa Maia Lopes - soon to be defended!- contains several important new insights into the corrosion initiation mechanisms of 316L in liquid LBE, depending on alloy surface state and environmental LBE conditions. Great job, Eloa! #VUB#SURF#SUME

The surging need for rare-earth magnets in U.S. defense and technology, critical for applications like F-35 jet fighters and advanced electric vehicles, is driving significant attention. In response, the U.S. government is directing substantial resources towards reducing reliance on foreign rare-earth sources. Here, we spotlight two companies within our coverage that could to benefit from this emerging trend: 1. Geomega Resources Inc (GMA.V): Primarily explores for rare earth elements and niobium deposits. Read our research reports on Geomega here: https://lnkd.in/gEn_J9B5 2. Electric Royalties Ltd.: Primarily focuses on various commodities, including lithium, vanadium, manganese, tin, graphite, cobalt, nickel, and copper.

📣 Let us tell you a little story about liquid lead… Liquid lead has been used as a coolant for SMRs on submarines since the late 1960’s. The use of lead enabled the reactor to be extremely compact and light, since the physical properties of liquid lead made it possible to achieve natural circulation in a small vessel. Lead would cool the system and simultaneously function as a natural shield against radiation. It worked very well, except for that liquid lead is highly corrosive to stainless steel, and would erode the surrounding reactor vessel. For decades, this was a problem that made lead-cooled SMRs expensive in relation to their reactor lifetime. In 2013, Blykalla developed an aluminum alloyed steel exhibiting perfect corrosion resistance, based on many years of research. This new steel perfectly protects core components against corrosion - thereby solving the historical number one challenge with lead-cooled reactors. Ten years later, we are thrilled that the first industrial batches of this steel for our core simulator, photographed below, are on their way to our testing facilities. We look forward to putting them to use. 👏 #blykalla #SMRs #cleanenergy

The Department of Energy, Department of Defense, United States Bureau of Mines, and Department of Interior stopped disclosing silver inventories 29 years ago (between 1995 and 1996). Moreover, the United States Bureau of Mines was abolished coincidentally during this same time horizon (specifically 1996). The US once had a "strategic stockpile of silver," much like the strategic petroleum reserves. When we wrap up this 24-week research project, you can connect all the dots and see why the US must start developing more US-based silver production. Our new reports will be plain sight and openly exhibited (whereas before, all this news and data was obscured, opaque, and obfuscated) We can all draw powerful inferences guiding our investment choices. There are no coincidences with the timing of these closures and the motive behind suppressing silver usage data. This will also explain that not just the short selling of paper silver contracts creates manipulated silver commodity spot prices. Once you see our spreadsheet of these massive silver uses, we will lay out our closing argument: defense contractors were motivated to leverage their political clout to incentivize their Government allies to keep their factory inputs as low as possible.  This is a collusive arrangement or cartel of price fixers between top-ranking government officials ( defense and aerospace contractors.) This also extends to companies that typically don't contract with the US Government, such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and Virgin Galactic. In all these cases, these gargantuan aerospace and defense enterprises (silver buyers) push for lower silver prices to maximize profits on rockets, bombs, shells, missiles, aircraft, tanks, night vision goggles, warships, satellites, nukes, submarines, torpedoes.

TxDOT Update for SB102 SB102: Tex-115-E, "Measuring In-Place Density and Moisture Content of Soils and Base Materials" The primary revisions to the test procedure are: Clarification of procedure such that steps are clear and concise. Standardization of nuclear testing gauge references manufacturer’s recommendations. When test results do not meet specifications, rotate the gauge 90 degrees and repeat the test. Repeat testing after rotating the gauge an additional 90 degrees for a total of 180 and rotate again and repeat testing after 270 degrees. Average the four measurements to determine the final density and moisture content test results of the location tested. Rotating the gauge is not optional. Part II the sand cone method has been deleted. Part III the volumeter method has been deleted. Added Part IV - Random Selection of Testing Locations. Part IV determines random testing locations for density and moisture content for acceptance. The title changed to "Measuring In-Place Density and Moisture Content of Soils and Base Materials."

#Crackingstone #Uranium project. A lot of information to take in from this image. Pay attention to Uranium grades at surface (upto 15.6% U3O8), Surface radioactivity readings (65,000 cps is off the chart), Faults with associated EM conductors. https://bit.ly/3Vz8Fws

Many people don't realize that #uranium isn't dangerous unless it gets inside your body. With the grades we're dealing with, we don't need to wear special suits or take extra precautions to protect our personnel. We just need to ensure that people aren't eating or smoking near the uranium. It all boils down to common sense. Learn more about our uranium projects ⇛ https://loom.ly/wKFhjdE CSE:UUSA|OTCQB:UUSAF
