The document provides information about the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory. It discusses that the reactor was originally constructed in 1958 and upgraded in 1975. It operates continuously, producing radiation for research. The reactor is used for materials research, medical treatments, and student experiments. Safety is ensured through controlling the fission reaction, shielding radioactive materials, and monitoring for contamination.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
1. MIT NUCLEAR REACTOR LABORATORY
AN MIT INTERDEPARTMENTAL CENTER
Welcome to the MIT
Research Reactor!
David Carpenter
6/25/2015
Research Scientist
2. Constructed in 1958 (MITR-I)
o Upgraded in 1975 (MITR-II)
Power up-rate in 2010 to 6 MW
o 2nd largest university reactor in U.S.
Operates 24/7, 10-week cycles
Uses light water for cooling
Produces radiation for research
5. What is radiation? Is it dangerous?
How many nuclear power plants are there in the U.S.?
How many are there in Massachusetts?
Where does nuclear power come from?
What does a nuclear power plant look like?
Is nuclear power safe?
5
How Much Do You Know?
6. Radiation is moving particles / waves
We experience radiation as light and heat
6
What is Radiation?
7. If it has enough energy radiation can
oHeat things up
oMove electrons
oMove atoms
This can damage cells, DNA, materials
But, you get lots of radiation every day:
oRadon 55%
oCosmic & Earth 16%
oWhat you eat 11%
oMedical exams 15%
oEverything else 3%
7
Is Radiation Dangerous?
8. There is a LOT of energy contained in atoms.
oFissioning 1 gram of Uranium-235 produces
24,000 kW-hr of energy.
—This is the same as burning 3 tons of coal,
or 12 barrels of oil,
or 50,000 ft3 of natural gas
oMIT consumes 600,000 kW-hr per day
oYour house uses ~20 kW-hr per day
A Nuclear reaction, not a Chemical reaction
8
Why Are We Interested In Nuclear Power?
9. Not burning anything – no exhaust.
We have lots of cheap nuclear fuel
Uranium comes from nicer places:
o Australia 24%
o Kazakhstan 17%
o Canada 9%
o USA 7%
o South Africa 7%
It produces a lot of power – we need a lot of power
9
Why Nuclear Power?
15. This is the process that allows reactors to exist:
oOne free neutron causes one U-235 atom to fission
oThat fission produces 2 or 3 new free neutrons
15
Fission Chain Reaction
16. Nuclear (fission) reactors use Uranium as fuel

Nuclear Fuel
Uranium-235 has 92 protons and 143 neutrons

2. Boil water into steam
3. Use steam to turn a turbine-generator

24. We control the fission chain reaction by getting rid of
neutrons
o Insert control rods to absorb neutrons
Fewer neutrons = fewer fissions = less heat
o This can be very fast – full power to shutdown in <1 second!

Controlling a Reactor
25. Protect people from radiation
oRules on radiation exposure from man-made sources
Keep radioactive material contained
oKeep the fuel cool and shielded
oPut waste somewhere safe
