Isotopes are used in many sectors including medicine, industry, agriculture, food processing, and research and development. The following section does not intend to provide an exhaustive detail of isotope applications but rather to illustrate by way of examples, some of the main uses of isotopes in different sectors. Isotopes used for nuclear reactor fuels (i.e., uranium and plutonium) or non-civil applications are not covered in the present study.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors. SMRs, which can produce a large amount of low-carbon electricity, are:
Double Tube coupling for Remote Handling
Heat and mass transfer can be encountered in many applications ranging from design and optimization of traditional engineering systems, such as heat exchangers, turbine, electronic cooling, heat pipes, and food processing equipment, to emerging technologies in sustainable energy, biological systems, security, information technology and nanotechnology.
Phenolic compounds are bioactive natural products of considerable interest in pharmaceuticals and biomedicines. Due to their bioactive functions, phenolic compounds have received increasing attention in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new and advanced analytical methods for determination of phenolic compounds in relation to pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
