Nuclear Reactors

Devices containing fissionable material in sufficient quantity and so arranged as to be capable of maintaining a controlled, self-sustaining NUCLEAR FISSION chain reaction. They are also known as atomic piles, atomic reactors, fission reactors, and nuclear piles, although such names are deprecated. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)

Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2012 - "The effect of blood vessel normalization prior to BPA administration on the efficacy of BNCT was assessed in in vivo BNCT studies at the RA-3 Nuclear Reactor in tumor-bearing hamsters. " 03/01/1994 - "This paper reports results from the study of mortality from malignancies of the hematopoietic and lymphatic system among personnel of the first nuclear reactor and processing plant in the USSR. " 12/10/2022 - "Our findings demonstrated that nano-nuclear-reactors in combination with nanobody could evoke persistent T cell immune activation, suggesting them potential as a promising immunotherapy option for reversing immunosuppressive immune-cold tumors." 11/01/2017 - "Three weeks post-inoculation, the right leg of 12 rats bearing the tumor nodule was treated with BPA-BNCT (BPA-Boronophenylalanine) at the RA-3 nuclear reactor located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at an absorbed dose of 7.5 Gy to skin as the dose-limiting tissue. " 08/01/2017 - "The proposed data processing technique is a promising tool not only for neutron and γ-ray discrimination in fusion experiments but also in other fields, for example, homeland security, cancer therapy with high energy particles, nuclear reactor decommissioning, pattern recognition, and so on."
2.	Head and Neck Neoplasms (Head and Neck Cancer) 10/07/2020 - "The present BNCT studies in veterinary patients with head and neck cancer were performed to optimize the therapeutic efficacy of BNCT, contribute towards exploring the role of BNCT in veterinary medicine, put in place technical aspects for an upcoming clinical trial of BNCT for head and neck cancer at the RA-6 Nuclear Reactor, and assess the feasibility of employing the existing B2 beam to treat large, deep-seated tumors. " 04/01/2023 - "Most of the patients treated with nuclear reactor-derived neutrons had either inoperable, locally recurrent head and neck cancer or malignant glioma. "

4.	Glioma (Gliomas) 05/01/1997 - "We irradiated at 3 nuclear reactors several series of glioma patients with no long-term remission, much less a cure being achieved. " 04/01/2023 - "Most of the patients treated with nuclear reactor-derived neutrons had either inoperable, locally recurrent head and neck cancer or malignant glioma. " 07/15/2016 - "We applied BNCT using nuclear reactors for 167 cases of malignant brain tumors, including recurrent malignant gliomas, newly diagnosed malignant gliomas, and recurrent high-grade meningiomas from January 2002 to May 2014. "
5.	Tics (Tic) 01/01/2017 - "These results suggest that further improving the Debye temperature of ZrC and TiC will be more beneficial for their applications as fuel-cladding and structural materials in nuclear reactors." 01/01/2017 - "ZrC and TiC have been proposed to be alternatives to SiC as fuel-cladding and structural materials in nuclear reactors due to their strong radiation tolerance and high thermal conductivity at high temperatures. " 01/12/2006 - "Refractory carbide ceramics (TiC and ZrC) raise interest as promising materials for high-temperature applications such as structural materials for the future generation of nuclear reactors.
