Abstract

Flexible and lightweight energy storage is required for powering wearable electronic devices. Among the developed energy storage devices, supercapacitors have gained much interest as energy storage for wearable applications through their long cycle life and high power density. This work presents a flexible supercapacitor based on carbon cloth coated with graphene/polyaniline nanocomposite. Graphene/polyaniline nanocomposite is adopted as active material due to its high stability and the synergistic feature of pseudocapacitive and electrical double layer capacitance. The nanocomposite is synthesized from aniline and graphene in the sulfuric acid solution containing carbon cloth by chemical oxidative method, allowing the aniline to polymerize directly on the carbon cloth and graphene. Flexible supercapacitor devices with PVA/H_{2}SO_{4} gel electrolyte exhibit an areal capacitance of 194.90 mF/cm2 at a scan rate of 5 mV/s. The device retains 77.21% of its initial capacitance after 500 cycles of cyclic voltammetry tests and exhibits a good performance when bent at 90&#7484- and 180&#7484-. This work demonstrates the exciting potentials of carbon cloth-based supercapacitors for high-performance wearable supercapacitors.

Abstract

Battery degradation by electrolyte decomposition has been a well-known problem that attracts much attention, especially on its mechanism. The most common electrolyte on lithium-ion batteries is ethylene carbonate (EC) which acts as a solvent for lithium salts. In this work, we investigate the decomposition mechanism of EC in the presence of LiPF6, LiBF4, and their delithiated counterpart by means of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We found that the energy barrier on BF4- anion presence is lower than PF6- anion presence about 0.42 eV (with Li+) and 0.22 eV (without Li+), suggesting that BF4- anion presence reduces EC stability more than PF6- anion. In both salt anion cases, the presence of Li+ ion increases the activation energy (0.79 eV on PF6-, 0.59 eV on BF4-) but decreases enthalpy change significantly (1.58 eV on PF6-, 1.43 eV on BF4-). While Li+ ion causes forward reaction rate to be slower, the relative forward-reverse rate increases drastically. This suggests that Li+ presence destabilizes the EC thus making it easier to decompose.

Abstract

Surface coating may suppress side reactions between electrode and electrolyte in Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs), but may also affect the rate and power capability of the batteries. Lanthanum Oxide (La2O3) coating has been experimentally shown to enhanced LIBs performance. In this study, we investigate the diffusion of Li in bulk La2O3 to understand the enhanced electrochemical performance of several La2O3-coated Li-ion battery cathodes. We use Density Functional Theory (DFT) with Climbing Image Nudged Elastic Band (CI-NEB) to calculate the energy barrier and the diffusivity. Among the three considered pathways, our results suggest that one pathway has a low Li energy barrier of 0.09 eV. This finding suggests that Li will preferably diffuse along the [100] and [010] directions. Furthermore, we find that Li will diffuse more slowly along the [001] direction.

Abstract

Spin current is defined as the difference between charge currents of the spin up and down. The conventional method to generate spin current requires a magnetic material. In this work, we discuss the generation of spin current without magnetic material. Here, the spin current is generated by edge plasmon (EP) on a graphene ribbon. EP is an electromagnetic wave that propagates along the edges of the ribbon and the electric field is localized near the edges. In contrast with the surface plasmon on 3D metal, the electric field of EP rotates on the plane of graphene that corresponds to the transverse and out-of-plane optical spin. We found that the spin current flows on the surface of graphene with spin-polarization in the out-of-plane direction. Further, the spin current induced by EP is tunable not only by the frequency, but also by the Fermi energy of graphene, which enables application for a spin-switching device controlled by light and gate voltage

Abstract

Platina play a crucial role in catalytic converter device as one of catalyst that convert toxic gases in the exhaust gas emission to less toxic gas pollutant. The performance of this device can be significantly elevated by implementing platina nanoparticles (Pt NPs) because catalytic performance can be increased by decreasing its particles size. However, nanoparticles are not stable and tend to agglomerate, thus prohibit formation of nano particles. In this context, utilization of cellulose nano crystals (CNCs) in fabrication of Pt NPs are attractive due to their ability to encourage nucleation and prevent agglomeration of nanoparticles. In this study, Pt NPs was prepared by reduction of H2PtCl6 solution at various temperature (25, 33 and 40 C) with the presence of CNCs. Based on visual observation, darker precipitate was observed by increasing temperature. Further characterization using UV-Vis spectroscopy showed that about 90% of Pt4+ in solution were successfully convert to dark particles at 40 C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) revealed that the dark particles in sample is Pt NPs with particles size 16.5 nm.

Abstract

Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a virus from the Coronaviridae family that has been epidemic throughout the world since the end of 2019. The virus spreads ten times faster through human interaction than SARS-CoV. RNA sequence of Covid-19 has 79,5% similarity with SARS-CoV. Fast and specific detection of Covid-19 is needed so that patient detection can be done quickly and accurately. One method that can be developed as a Covid-19 biosensor is aptamers-based biosensors. Aptamers are artificial oligonucleic acids that can specifically bind to target molecules. Aptamers are easily chemically modifiable for increasing stability and reducing toxicity. They show a comparable affinity for the target virus and better thermal stability than monoclonal antibodies. Those advantages make aptamers promising candidates in diagnostic and detection applications. The goal of this research was to use RNA aptamer as the specific recognition element in a portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for the detection of Covid-19 in humans. Aptamer RNA 1 Covid-19 was designed using the Covid-19 sequence from Gisaid using the in silico method. End of 3^ aptamer RNA 1 modified with dithiol. Then, the aptamer was immobilized on the gold nanoparticle sensor surface via Cysteine-dithiol binding. The RNA solution that had been extracted from swab samples, was diluted ten times before being used as a sample. The immobilized aptamer RNA 1 captured Covid-19 in RNA solution, causing an increase in refraction index (r.u). Aptamer RNA 1 was found to bind RNA virus of Covid-19 where the positive sample of Covid-19 has refraction index (r.u) between 3 r.u - 10 r.u for various Ct values.

Abstract

A non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor has been successfully developed to detect uric acid (UA) based on a modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) using Nafion functionalized silicon nanoparticles. Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) material is used because of their advantages, including its abundant availability, good biocompatibility, and adjustable porosity and surface area according to the synthesis method used. Nafion is a sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene-based fluoropolymer-copolymer that has been widely used for electrochemical sensors and is functioned as a stabilizer of the sensor. In this study, SiNPs material was successfully synthesized through the non-thermal chemical vapor deposition method. XRD diffractogram and SEM image confirmed its structure and morphology. The crystallinity of the produced SiNPs is 69.85%. SEM-EDS characterization was also carried out to confirm the success of the SPCE modification by SiNPs and SiNPs/Naf materials. The changes in the morphology of SPCE and the EDS spectrum that were measured indicated the success of the SPCE modification process for each stage. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and differential pulse voltammetry study were used to analyze the electrochemical characteristics and performance of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors based on SPCE/SiNPs/Naf structures against uric acid analytes. Based on the results of electrochemical analysis, the sensitivity, detection limit, and quantification limit of the sensor are 0.01 uA.mM-1.cm-2, 0.21 uM, and 0.69 uM respectively in the linear measurement range of uric acid concentration of 10 - 1000 uM. Then, a sensor stability study was also carried out which resulted in an RSD value of 4.83%.

Abstract

Bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) have attracted significant interest due to its high specific surface area and tunable porosity, leading to high sensitivity and catalytic activity. This work studies on the characteristics of Ni/Co-MOF synthesized through self-template using uniform Ni-Co glycerate spheres. Nickel and cobalt are active electrode materials with a similar properties and atomic radius, and have many possible coordination with ligands so that they can be found in many types of MOFs. In this work Ni-Co Glycerate, that was produced in powder form, was used as a source of metal ions, 2-methylimidazole (H-MeIM) as a ligand as well as aquabidest and ethanol as solvents. The MOF was produced using two step processes first is solvothermal for glycerate formation and second, is MOF formation at room temperature. The XRD results showed that the Ni/Co-MOF is in an amorphous phase because there is no peak was observed. The results of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the Ni/Co-MOF has spherical shape covered by nanosheets that are suspected to be amorphous MOF. In this preliminary study, we would like to explore the preparation, properties, and applications of amorphous MOF. Because amorphous MOF presents many opportunities as new functional materials especially in electrochemical applications.

Abstract

Cesium lead halide (CsPbX3- X=Cl, Br, I) are all-inorganic perovskite materials that can be synthesized by some methods such as hot injection, solvent-induced reprecipitation, microwave assisted, ligand assisted reprecipitation (LARP) and mechanochemical method. In this research, we report synthesis of CsPbCl3 and CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NC) that was synthesized from CsCl and PbCl2 by the LARP method at room temperature in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. CsPbBr3 NC was also synthesized by a similar method from CsBr and PbBr2. CsPbCl3 and CsPbBr3 were synthesized by using different ligand (i.e. linoleic acid (LA) and oleic acid (OA)). Besides that, antisolvent was varied to two anti-solvents, i.e. chloroform, toluene, and tetrahydrofuran (THF). The XRD patterns of those nanoparticles indicates that their crystal structures are cubic with space group Pm-3m (221). Lattice constants are 5.61 A for CsPbCl3 and 5.83 A for CsPbBr3. The PL peak of CsPbCl3 NC emerges at around 435 - 437 nm, whereas for CsPbBr3 NC at around 516 - 526 nm.

Abstract

Generation IV reactors are developed and expected to have a higher safety level than the previous reactors. One of the generation IV reactors is Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) with the freeze plug and drainage pipe as the integrated safety system. When an accident occurs, the fuel flows down, directly interact and melt the freeze plug. Moreover, the fuel will be cooled at the safety tank. This research aims to simulate the freeze plug melting process by using Moving Particle Semi Implicit (MPS) method. MPS is a particle method based on Lagrangian mechanism developed by Koshizuka and Oka in 1996. Mainly, the freeze plug consisted of frozen salt and Hastelloy N. There were two kind of freeze plug geometries used in the simulation, which are with and without copper. The Copper^s thickness was varied between 1.5 - 3.0 mm with 0.5 mm interval. The additional Copper^s thickness was performed toward the inside of the freeze plug. The height and the radius of freeze plug were 30 mm. The thickness of Hastelloy N and the copper were 8.5 mm and 2.5 mm, respectively. A s-curve temperature distribution was initially applied due to the transfer heat between molten salt and the freeze plug material. The results show the melting time of with and without copper cases were 125 s and 250 s, respectively. Moreover, the thicker copper led to the faster freeze plug melting process. Therefore, the most optimal thickness of the copper was 3.5 mm.

Abstract

TMSR500 has potential to provide energy that are sustainable, safe, and low in CO2 emissions in Indonesia. Therefore study about TMSR500 will have a significant impact on the development of nuclear energy in Indonesia. Neutronic analysis of TMSR500 core will be conducted in this study. Influence of fuel composition, fuel volume fraction, coolant quantity, and material temperature on reactor criticality will be evaluated. The method used to obtain the neutronic aspects of the reactor is neutronic calculation by computer simulation using the SRAC2006 code system and the JENDL4.0 nuclear library. The data obtained for neutronic analysis are graph of keff against time for each design parameter variation, graph of reactivity against relative coolant nuclide density and relative temperature, and coolant nuclide density and temperature reactivity coefficient at BOL. The data shows that the fissile material is directly proportional to keff. While fuel volume fraction is inversely proportional to keff at BOL. Coolant nuclide density and fuel salt-graphite temperature are inversely proportional to keff and reactivity. With fuel volume fraction value of 27 percent, TMSR-500 core requires minimum U-235 concentration of 1.14 percent to achieve criticality. TMSR-500 core have a negative coolant nuclide density and temperature reactivity coefficient at BOL, where the value are -0.02764 (cm cubic) and -0.00003864 (/K) respectively.

Abstract

Molten salt has attracted the attention of researchers, especially as a coolant because of its characteristics. The purpose of this study is to analyse the transient and steady state of the natural circulation system in the molten salt loop with vertical heater and horizontal cooler using computational fluid dynamics. The computational fluid dynamics module in the COMSOL Multiphysics software is used to solve governing equations. Experimental data from several references are used as input data in modelling. The loop is modelled as a rectangular loop with Inconel 625 as the pipe material and molten salt (NaNO3+KNO3) as the working fluid. The variation of heater power is also carried out in modelling. The modelling results show good agreement with the experimental results. The results provided that the molten salt natural circulation loop with vertical heater and horizontal cooler showed good flow stability without reversal of flow direction.

Abstract

The use of liquid fuel is one of the developments blooming in nuclear technology. Molten Salt Reactor leads the new technology in nuclear engineering in using liquid fuel. One of the interesting phenomena about using liquid fuel is how the inter-liquid fuel interacts, especially its stratification behavior. In this study, some components of the liquid salts (i.e. NaCl, KCl, KBr, and NaBr) interacted with Fe were investigated to understand the stratification behavior of these liquid salts by simulation in the framework of the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS). The obtained results show the typical results of stratification with different physical properties. On the other hand, these results are good enough in explaining the interaction inter-liquid. The density of the salt liquid has a significant effect on the stratification process. Besides, the kinematics viscosity of the liquid salt also affects the liquid salt in gaining the stratification condition. These results are very important information to conduct the next study about liquid salts.

Abstract

Very small modular reactors have become important topic in advanced next generation Nuclear Power Plant development. In this study very small modular nuclear power plants (NPPs) with 1-20 MWe power level have been developed conceptually using SRAC, FI-ITB CH1, and MCNP codes. order to obtain compact core, relatively high plutonium content are used in the nuclear reactor core designs. up to 20% of heavy metals. In addition, Np-237 have been used to reduce excess reactivity during 10 - 30 years operation times without refueling or fuel shuffling. The reactor cores are designed to have relatively small radius in order to anticipate core depressurized accident. In case of core depressurized accident the increased temperature will inherently shut down the reactor and the decay heat will be removed through natural circulation of air through outer part of the core and at the central hole. The excess reactivity has been minimized to be less that 3% dk/k. The core are divided into three core regions with different plutonium content to reduce excess reactivity during burn-up and to extend operation time without refueling or fuel shuffling. Preliminary safety alanysis also presented in this study especially estimation of macimum temperature during core depressurized accident.

Abstract

Small Modular Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) can be used to overcome the problem of electricity shortages in remote areas with fewer populations. These reactors usually use uranium-based fuel. Currently, the use of thorium-based fuels for this type of reactor has received constant attention, leading to several investigations of fuel performance. This study aims to determine the performance of thorium-based fuel in the PWR core at a power level of 300 MWt. The analysis was carried out by varying the percentage of U-233 as fissile material in Thorium (Th-233U)O2 fuel by 3%-8% and Pa variation as burnable poison 0.2%-5%. In addition, analysis of changes in the volume fraction of fuel ranging from 40%-60%, with the type of cladding used in the form of Zirlo. The calculation system uses the SRAC computer code with PIJ and CITATION modules, respectively, for cell calculations and core calculations, using JENDL-4.0 nuclide data. Parameters analyzed from the fuel cell calculation results are reactor criticality and excess reactivity. The analysis results show that the best fuel performance is found in cells with a fuel volume fraction of 60%, U-233 configuration on the fuel of 4-5-6%, and the addition of 2.5% Pa-231. This fuel configuration can achieve cycles of up to 19 years with excess reactivity at BOL of 2.57% dk/k and excess reactivity at EOL of 0.87% dk/k.

Comparative Evaluation on Nuclear Shell Correction Calculation using Regulation Bayesian and Moving Average Methods
Rizal Kurniadi

Physics ITB


Abstract

Since Strutinsky had proposed a shell correction for nuclear mass calculations in 1967, there has been much further research on this topic. In addition to the development carried out on the Strutinsky method, some studies try to apply the shell correction. This paper is included in the development of the shell correction method. There are two techniques used in this work the first is the average method, while the second is the Bayesian regulation method. The two techniques are very different from those Strutinsky originally developed. He used the hermit polynomial as an extension of delta Dirac. This paper will show a comparative study of the two alternative techniques for calculating shell correction.

Rizal Kurniadi

Physics ITB


Abstract

In this paper, fission cross section of Th-232(n,f) and U-238(n,f) would be calculated using fission barrier parameter that obtained from Lublin-Strassbourg Drop Model (LSD) in statistical model framework. This model had been derived from modern liquid drop (NLD) by adding first order curvature term that depends on deformation parameter. This term is resulted from implementation of Leptodermous expansion of the nuclear energy. Deformation function that involved in LSD formulation is obtained from Funny Hills nuclear shape parameterization. All the obtained result then would be compared with another result that calculated using ETFSI (Extended Thomas Fermi and Strutinsky Integral ) method and experimental fission cross section that had been extracted from ENDF data.

Abstract

In basic planar betavoltaic structure, some of beta particles are not utilized effectively to generate electron-hole pairs inside the semicondutor. In order to improve the utilization of beta source that would be deposited at the surface of the battery, we proposed the deep trenches design and calculated the prediction model of its electrical performance using finite difference minority carrier diffusion equation (FD-MCDE). The deep trenches p-n junction was evaluated by dividing it into several regions according to the energy deposition profile at each cell. Herein, we employ Ni-63 radioisotope as the beta source coupled with silicon semiconductor. In comparison to the basic planar design, the deep trenches could give an overall improvement in electrical performance, which the maximum power density and conversion efficiency can be increased about 29.60%.

Abstract

The annual report from the United Nations (UN) which states that in 2019, carbon dioxide emissions related to the world^s energy supply increased to 33.3 Gt, or about 45% from 2000. New source of energy are needed for this reason for which exclude greenhouse gasses as it^s product. Nuclear is the obvious choice as long also contribute to the action to fulfill energy demand that highly increase. But nuclear industry has been sleeping for years because of unfertile market. Many investors would not invest due to large amount of fund and long amount of time are required to build full nuclear power plant which implied to high cost electric energy produced by nuclear. Small Modular Reactor (SMR) would be a great escape plan for nuclear. with Gen IV Molten Saltf Reactor type of SMR, which provide to the idea of producing smaller and more compact yet safe design. It^s also nourish the idea of having a high energy source in the comfort of small geometry. The sizes are varied based on the reactor output power, namely 50MW, 30MW, and 20MW. For 50 MWth output power reactor reach criticality at composition of LiF 85.5% + ThF4 10.5% + 235UF4 4% and reach critical radius of 44.13cm and a ratio of H/D=0.9. For 30 MWth output power reactor, the critical fuel composition is LiF 85.5% + ThF4 10.5% + 235UF4 5%, with a radius of 37.9 cm and a ratio of H/D=0.9. For 20 MWth output power reactor, the critical fuel composition is LiF 89 % + ThF4 8.1% + 235UF4 3.9%, with a radius of 36.9 cm and a ratio of H/D=0.9

Abstract

Development of accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials for LWR (Light Water Reactors) is being intensively carried out in many research centers in the world as the lesson-learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor power plant accident. One of the advanced high temperature materials which is intensively developed is Oxide Dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel. The strengthened mechanism is generate by homogeneous dispersion of nano-meter sized ceramic oxide particles in the matrix of the steel which is done by mechanical alloying technique so called mechanosynthesis. Synthesis of an austenitic ODS steel powder of SS316L with additional element of 4% aluminum and dispersion of nano-particles of 0.5% yttrium oxide (yttria: Y2O3) has been done. The aim of the research is to achieve a better performance at elevated temperature of SS316L steel as an established material for power plants. Mechanosynthesis was done using High Energy ball Milling (HEM) for 30 hours with BPR (Ball to Powder Ratio) of 10:1. Afterward, the sample was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscope (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze the microstructure characteristics. The results showed that the alloying between SS316L and aluminum powders was formed. Furthermore, crystal grains and the particles of SS316L-4Al-0.5Y2O3 powder was smaller than as received SS316L and aluminum powders.

Abstract

Air or water is potentially entered to the reactor core of HTGR - high temperature gas cooled reactors under normal or abnormal operation, so called air or water ingress. Therefore, the high stability and integrity of the materials used in the core is one of the critical issues for the development of HTGR which is directly influenced to the safety of the reactor. A nuclear graphite IG-110 has been tested at elevated temperature with air environment. The testing was carried out using Magnetic Suspension Balance to analyze the weight change with direct-monitoring. The testing was done up to 630 degree celcius of temperature for 420 minutes. Analysis of morphological and microstructure was performed using optical microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-ray Sprectroscope and XRD X-Ray Diffractometer. The results showed that slightly change of the crystal size of the material structure and the trace of reaction between the surface material with oxygen have been observed. Nevertheless, weight change analysis showed that the weight-loss rate of the tested material was relatively low.

Abstract

Development of high temperature and corrosion-resistant materials is one of the key issues for the deployment of advanced nuclear reactors and also to accommodate the problem that occurred in the conventional reactor as the lesson-learned from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor power plant accident. One of the high performance materials for that purpose is Duplex Stainless Steels (DSSs) which are a family of stainless steels. The metallurgical structure of the DSSs consists of two phases i.e. austenite (FCC: Face-Centered Cubic lattice) and ferrite (BCC: Body Centered Cubic lattice). Therefore, DSSs have properties characteristic of both austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. Furthermore, DSSs are also magnetic because of the ferrite phase existing. The cold working of AISI 316L at various percentage reduction of 5%, 10%, 15%, 25% and 38% have been done. Afterward, the sample was characterized using X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscope to analyze the microstructure characteristics and phase transformation. The results showed that the percentage ferrite phase was increasingly growth related to the increasing of the percentage of cold working percentages value i.e. 2.7%, 8.3%, 21.8% 29.6% and 37.1%, respectively. Therefore, AISI 316L is potentially developed for the DSS material.

Abstract

Radioactivity in rocks arises as a consequence of the presence of the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. These radioactive elements bond with other elements and form radioactive minerals that evolve on earth through a complex process that takes a very long time. In Indonesia, uranium and thorium mineralization are found in sandstone, metamorphic, volcanic types. volcanic, and intrusive. Generally, mineralization occurs due to hydrothermal processes caused by tectonic and volcanic activities. The potential for these radioactive minerals is spread from Aceh to Papua, with the highest concentrations found in Kalan (West Kalimantan), Mamuju (West Sulawesi), Sibolga (North Sumatra), and Bangka-Belitung. The main uranium minerals found are uraninite, davidite, coffinite, carnonite, while the main minerals for thorium are monazite and thorianite. Exploration of the potential content of nuclear minerals has been carried out by BATAN since 1970 until now. Interim results show that the potential reserves of uranium and thorium in Indonesia are 89,483 tU3O8 and 143,234 tTh, which is a combined number of hypotheticals, inferred, and measurable potentials. More detailed exploration needs to be carried out in order to produce measurable reserve figures and also expand exploration to other areas that also have the potential for the presence of uranium and thorium mineralization.

Abstract

Net zero emission ambition of Indonesian Government has strongly announcement to the public which is in line with the Paris Agreement that has been signed and ratified with other 164 countries across the globe to fulfil their commitment to reduce the greenhouse gas effect for their energy program which has the environmentally friendly energy sources. The government of Indonesia has stated that the new and renewable energy (NRE) should be utilized at least 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050, as well as the net zero emission target in 2060 which only 100% of NRE for energy sector especially for power plant. In 2060, the estimated total demand market of about 1800 TWh which is consist of about 300 TWh of electric demand in the present status which will be required additional new energy supply of about 1500 TWh. This new additional energy which is about five times larger than the present energy which leads to more energy resources and alternative energy supplies are required. Meanwhile, fossil fuels as main producer will be reduced and NRE will be utilized more and it is increased gradually to maintain the energy demand as well as reducing the CO2 emission to the net zero target. In the present study, the contribution of each energy resources especially for the contribution of nuclear power plant (NPP) will be evaluated as a part of national energy mix. As announced by the national electric company (PLN) of Indonesia that NPP is estimated to be online in the national energy mix in 2040 by 10 GWe and it will be increasing gradually up to 2060.

Abstract

The spreading rate or transmission rate of COVID19 is very fast and now almost all country around the world is infected by this coronavirus. As a new type of coronavirus, it was identify that the structure of COVID-19 size of the virus of about 100 nm (nano-meter). The spreading droplet from coughs is between 1 meter of more to another person around him. Therefore, the important task is to make a physical distancing more than 1 meter from the sick. The transmission model of COVID-19 is different with other virus disease transmission such as through airborne or direct touch. The common transmission of COVID19 is from the spreading of the droplet through the air as well as the other media surface. The transmission of respiratory infection via droplet will have different dimensions or sizes. When the droplet size of particles in diameter are less than 5micro-m (<5micro-m), this size will be referred to as droplet nuclei and it can be the residue of dried respiratory aerosol that results from evaporation of droplet coughed or sneezed into the atmosphere or by aerosolization of infective material. Other droplet size is 5 to 10 micro-m or more, it can be referred as respiratory droplet or respiratory aerosols. One of the causes of very fast spreading transmission rate of COVID19 is coming from droplet transmission through the air which contain virus in small droplet size type. Rrecommendations that recommend airborne precautions for any situation involving the care of COVID-19 patients and consider the use of medical masks as an acceptable option in case of shortages of respirators (N95, FFP2 or FFP3). The other medical mask for general purposes in hospital or clinic is a surgical mask. A surgical mask, also known as a procedure mask, medical mask or simply as a face mask. Because of very rare and limited volume of mask for ordinary people as well as special mask for medical also becomes very limited.

Abstract

FNaBe is one type of molten salts that has been recommended in the Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR). For Molten Salt Thermal Reactor or commonly consider as Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), FLiBe and FLiNaK are considered as a coolant in MSR. Naturally occurring lithium is composed of two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li, where the latter being the more abundant (92.5% natural abundance). However, to utilize Li as part of coolant material in MSR, 7Li should be enriched to become 99.995% of abundance in the whole of Li. In this paper, we evaluate the neutronic performance of 250 MWth MSR with FNaBe fuel salt. The Japanese MSR FUJI-U3 has been selected as the basis of the evaluated 250 MWth MSR design with Thorium and Uranium as main fuel nuclides. Several neutronics parameters such as, fuel composition, effective multiplication factor, and conversion ratio will be discussed the full manuscript.
