Pietro Barabaschi, who will take over as director-general of ITER in October, plans to improve integration between collaborating agencies. Barabaschi is currently acting director of Fusion for Energy, the organization responsible for Europe’s ITER contribution, and will take over as ITER’s director general in October. He replaces Eisuke Tada, who has served as interim director-general
Today’s nuclear power infrastructure was born out of the French government’s efforts in the 1950s and 1960s to develop a nuclear bomb during the cold war, and so a lot of resources were poured into nuclear research. That created the expertise, then in the 1970s the oil-price shock turned attentions towards nuclear-power development. Countries began
No other country produces more nuclear power per capita. But climate change, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and French politics could change that. Around 70% of French electricity is derived from the splitting of atoms, and no other country produces more nuclear power per capita. More than a means of keeping the lights on, France’s prowess
Porous aluminum is produced by casting with salt. This technology provides a unique structure of porous metal. The structure of porous aluminum and the structure of known sintered metals are complementary. The pores in the sintered metal correspond to those in the porous aluminum and vice versa. Theoretically, the minimum porosity of sintered metals is
A new peak for output comes amid a squeeze on gas, hydropower and nuclear supplies Solar power generation reached a new record in the EU over the summer months as supplies from gas, hydropower and nuclear were all squeezed during the energy crisis. Sunny weather across the continent and a boost in solar installations contributed
The energy crisis in Euro draws more attention. Civil utilization of power and heating in winter calls for more efficient solution for heat recovery systems. Heat pump and heat exchanger unit are applied in the new advanced heating system to achieve thermal efficiency over long-distance transmission. The plate heat exchanger operates in high-pressure working conditions

Tissue products are placed on the whole shelf in the supermarket, and people cannot live without them nowadays. The plant’s productivity of tissue producers is in full power during the COVID-19 period. The service jobs are performed to their plate heat exchangers with the requirement of the shortest shutdown time. The plate heat exchangers to
This week, HFM service engineers went to do the plate heat exchanger service for vessel MSC Eloise on board. There are three AX30 units, which were made in 1990. Those units are operated as lube oil cooler and central cooling cooler. The last time of service was many years ago. This vessel needs complete maintenance
Honey can be consumed pasteurized or not. Honey is low in humidity and high in acidity, which means that bacteria cannot survive Pasteurizing honey is different from pasteurizing milk or other dairy products, and it’s done for very different reasons. Because of its low moisture content and high acidity, bacteria and other harmful organisms cannot
