Article Preparation of Human Resources for Future Nuclear Energy Using Fbnr as the Instrument of Learning(Carl Hanser verlag, 2015) Sefidvash, Farhang; Espinoza, Patricio; Aguilera, Maribel Luna; Ayala, Edy; Guerrero, Victor Hugo; Santos, Roque; Kanoute, Mamadou; Luna, M.An increasing number of developing countries are showing interest to become the emerging countries to nuclear energy. Most of these countries lack human resources and adequate infrastructures to enter such a venture. The principle objective of activities of FBNR Group is to train human resources for the countries that at the present lack the necessary conditions, but aim at the future clean and safe nuclear energy through the fourth generation and INPRO compatible nuclear reactors. The preparation for the future nuclear energy is done through development of innovative nuclear reactor that meets the INPRO philosophies and criteria. These countries may or may not have decided as yet to utilize nuclear energy, but are interested to gain a strong educational foundation for their future. The research and development of a small innovative nuclear reactor FBNR is used as the instrument for learning. The young scientists will learn how to be innovative with the vision of INPRO philosophy and criteria.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of Martensite Volume Fraction on Mechanical Properties of Dual-Phase Treated Aisi-4012 Sheet Steels(Carl Hanser verlag, 2010) Aksakal, B.; Karaca, F.; Arikan, R.Hot rolled AISI-4012 sheet steels have been heat treated to obtain a ductile dual phase microstructure. The specimens were heat treated in the ferrite (a) and austenite (7) phase region at temperatures of 740, 760, 790 and 820 degrees C and corresponding time intervals of 15, 30, 60 and 90 min and then quenched into water. Hardness measurements, tensile, bending, and impact tests were performed in order to determine the mechanical properties of the dual phase steel. These were examined with respect to the martensite volume fraction. Both the flow and tensile stresses increased whereas elongation decreased with increasing dual phase treatment temperature and martensite volume fraction. The optimum mechanical properties and the appropriate dual-phase microstructure are achieved at 740 and 760 degrees C annealing with subsequent water quenching. From examinations it was deduced that ductile fracture occurred in the tested samples.
