 ITER is of key importance in the European fusion roadmap as it aims to prove the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion as a future energy source. The EUROfusion consortium of labs within Europe is contributing to the preparation of ITER scientific exploitation and operation and aspires to exploit ITER outcomes in view of DEMO. The paper provides an overview of the major progress obtained recently, carried out in the frame of the new (initiated in 2021) EUROfusion work-package called ‘ 

 Pr 

 eparation of 

 I 

 TER 

 O 

 peration’ (PrIO). The overview paper is directly supported by the eleven EUROfusion PrIO contributions given at the 29th Fusion Energy Conference (16–21 October 2023) London, UK [ 

 www.iaea.org/events/fec2023 

 ]. The paper covers the following topics: (i) development and validation of tools in support to ITER operation (plasma breakdown/burn-through with evolving plasma volume, new infra-red synthetic diagnostic for off-line analysis and wall monitoring using Artificial Intelligence techniques, synthetic diagnostics development, development and exploitation of multi-machine databases); (ii) R&D for the radio-frequency ITER neutral beam sources leading to long duration of negative deuterium/hydrogen ions current extraction at ELISE and participation in the neutral beam test facility with progress on the ITER source SPIDER, and, the commissioning of the 1 MV high voltage accelerator (MITICA) with lessons learned for ITER; (iii) validation of neutronic tools for ITER nuclear operation following the second JET deuterium–tritium experimental campaigns carried out in 2021 and in 2023 (neutron streaming and shutdown dose rate calculation, water activation and activated corrosion products with advanced fluid dynamic simulation; irradiation of several materials under 14.1 MeV neutron flux etc).},

 This study provides an analysis of atmospheric neutrino oscillations at the ESSnuSB far detector facility. The prospects of the two cylindrical Water Cherenkov detectors with a total fiducial mass of 540 kt are investigated over 10 years of data taking in the standard three-flavor oscillation scenario. We present the confidence intervals for the determination of mass ordering,

It is also a sector in which the circular economy presents an opportunity for the utilisation of other resources and residual energy flows. This study examines the environmental and social performance of innovative energy technologies (which contribute to the circularity of resources) implemented in a demonstrator site in Luleå (Sweden). The demo-site collected excess heat from a data centre to cogenerate energy, combining the waste heat with fuel cells that use biogas derived from waste, meeting part of its electrical demand and supplying thermal energy to an existing district heating network. Following a cradle-to-gate approach, an environmental and a social life cycle assessment were developed to compare two scenarios: a baseline scenario reflecting current energy supply methods and the WEDISTRICT scenario, which considers the application of different renewable and circular technologies. The findings indicate that transitioning to renewable energy sources significantly reduces environmental impacts in seven of the eight assessed impact categories. Specifically, the study showed a 48% reduction in climate change impact per kWh generated. Additionally, the WEDISTRICT scenario, accounting for avoided burdens, prevented 0.21 kg CO2 eq per kWh auto-consumed. From the social perspective, the WEDISTRICT scenario demonstrated improvement in employment conditions within the worker and local community categories, product satisfaction within the society category, and fair competition within the value chain category. Projects like WEDISTRICT demonstrate the circularity options of the energy sector, the utilisation of resources and residual energy flows, and that these lead to environmental and social improvements throughout the entire life cycle, not just during the operation phase.},

 Neutrino oscillation experiments provide a unique window in exploring several new physics scenarios beyond the standard three flavour. One such scenario is quantum decoherence in neutrino oscillation which tends to destroy the interference pattern of neutrinos reaching the far detector from the source. In this work, we study the decoherence in neutrino oscillation in the context of the ESSnuSB experiment. We consider the energy-independent decoherence parameter and derive the analytical expressions for P 

 μe 

 and P 

 μμ 

 probabilities in vacuum. We have computed the capability of ESSnuSB to put bounds on the decoherence parameters namely, Γ 

 21 

 and Γ 

 32 

 and found that the constraints on Γ 

 21 

 are competitive compared to the DUNE bounds and better than the most stringent LBL ones from MINOS/MINOS+. We have also investigated the impact of decoherence on the ESSnuSB measurement of the Dirac CP phase 

 δ 

 CP 

 and concluded that it remains robust in the presence of new physics.},

However, the precise mechanism behind this deformation process is still not fully understood, primarily due to the dearth of information during intermediate stages of deformation. In this study, we report the continuation of our previous work [Peña-Rodríguez et al., Sci. Rep. 7(1), 922 (2017)], exploiting the strong dependence of the localized surface plasmon resonance on the aspect ratio of elongated metal NPs to study the elongation kinetics in situ. In situ optical absorption spectra were measured using a polarizing beam splitter to separate the longitudinal and transverse plasmon modes of the anisotropic NPs. Then, the detailed geometrical and compositional parameters were determined from a fit of these spectra. The use of linearly polarized light allowed for a more accurate analysis of the elongation kinetics, particularly useful in the first stages, where longitudinal and transverse modes overlap.},

abstract = {Thyroxine (T4) is a drug extensively utilized for the treatment of hypothyroidism. However, the oral absorption of T4 presents certain limitations. This research investigates the efficacy of CO2 nanobubbles in water as a potential oral carrier for T4 administration to C57BL/6 hypothyroid mice. Following 18 h of fasting, the formulation was administered to the mice, demonstrating that the combination of CO2 nanobubbles and T4 enhanced the drug’s absorption in blood serum by approximately 40%. To comprehend this observation at a molecular level, we explored the interaction mechanism through which T4 engages with the CO2 nanobubbles, employing molecular simulations, semi-empirical quantum mechanics, and PMF calculations. Our simulations revealed a high affinity of T4 for the water–gas interface, driven by additive interactions between the hydrophobic region of T4 and the gas phase and electrostatic interactions of the polar groups of T4 with water at the water–gas interface. Concurrently, we observed that at the water–gas interface, the cluster of T4 formed in the water region disassembles, contributing to the drug’s bioavailability. Furthermore, we examined how the gas within the nanobubbles aids in facilitating the drug’s translocation through cell membranes. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of CO2 nanobubbles in drug absorption and subsequent release into the bloodstream. The findings suggest that utilizing CO2 nanobubbles could enhance T4 bioavailability and cell permeability, leading to more efficient transport into cells. Additional research opens the possibility of employing lower concentrations of this class of drugs, thereby potentially reducing the associated side effects due to poor absorption.},

 We have studied the formation of cavities in spherical silver nanoparticles embedded in silica, irradiated with fs laser pulses that produce an intense electronic excitation. Experimentally determined aspect ratio, i.e. the ratio between the cavity and nanoparticle size, for hollow structures formed under different irradiation conditions shows a very good agreement with values obtained by means of atomistic simulations. According to the predictions of the atomistic model, one can produce at will hollow silver nanoparticles with cavities of tailored dimensions, having an accurate control. Hence, laser irradiation can be used to control and design the optical response by tuning the localized surface plasmon resonances of the hollow nanoparticles.},

abstract = {We report new experimental results on radiative shocks obtained in Xenon and Argon in gas cells at two different pressures below 1 bar. These shock waves are generated by the interaction of the PALS iodine laser on a CH–Au foil with a typical velocity in the range of 50–100 km/s depending on the variable laser intensity, pressure, and gas. Attention is paid to the morphology and the dynamics of the radiative precursor over large time scales up to 30 ns, using 2D sub-picosecond visible interferometry, illustrating the complex interplay of hydrodynamic and radiation absorption for different initial conditions. The comparison between 1D and 2D simulations confirms the role played by lateral radiative losses in the ionization wave and the necessity of state-of-the-art integrated opacities. This study is complemented by the first XUV analysis of the shock emission between 5 and 20 nm obtained with a grating spectrometer, with line identification, which is compatible with the ionization stages deduced from interferometry and simulations.},

 , 

 High power femtosecond laser pulses launched in air undergo nonlinear filamentary propagation, featuring a bright and thin plasma channel in air with its length much longer than the Rayleigh length of the laser beam. During this nonlinear propagation process, the laser pulses experience rich and complex spatial and temporal transformations. With its applications ranging from supercontinuum generation, laser pulse compression, remote sensing to triggering of lightning, the underlying physical mechanism of filamentation has been intensively studied. In this review, we will focus on the fluorescence and cavity-free lasing effect of the plasma filaments in air. The different mechanisms underlying the fluorescence of the excited neutral nitrogen molecules will be throughly examined and it is concluded that the electron collision excitation is the dominant channel for the formation of the excited nitrogen molecules. The recently discovered “air lasing” effect, a cavity-free bidirectional lasing emission emitted by the filaments, will be introduced and its main properties will be emphasized. The applications of the fluorescence and lasing effect of the neutral nitrogen molecules will be introduced, with two examples on spectroscopy and detection of electric field. Finally, we discuss the quenching effect of the lasing effect in atmosphere and the mechanisms responsible will be analyzed. An outlook for the achievement of backward lasing in air will be briefly presented.},

abstract = {This paper summarized the efforts performed to understand decay heat estimation from existing spent nuclear fuel (SNF), under the auspices of the Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. Needs for precise estimations are related to safety, cost, and optimization of SNF handling, storage, and repository. The physical origins of decay heat (a more correct denomination would be 

 decay power 

 ) are then introduced, to identify its main contributors (fission products and actinides) and time-dependent evolution. Due to limited absolute prediction capabilities, experimental information is crucial; measurement facilities and methods are then presented, highlighting both their relevance and our need for maintaining the unique current full-scale facility and developing new ones. The third part of this report is dedicated to the computational aspect of the decay heat estimation: calculation methods, codes, and validation. Different approaches and implementations currently exist for these three aspects, directly impacting our capabilities to predict decay heat and to inform decision-makers. Finally, recommendations from the expert community are proposed, potentially guiding future experimental and computational developments. One of the most important outcomes of this work is the consensus among participants on the need to reduce biases and uncertainties for the estimated SNF decay heat. If it is agreed that uncertainties (being one standard deviation) are on average small (less than a few percent), they still substantially impact various applications when one needs to consider up to three standard deviations, thus covering more than 95% of cases. The second main finding is the need of new decay heat measurements and validation for cases corresponding to more modern fuel characteristics: higher initial enrichment, higher average burnup, as well as shorter and longer cooling time. Similar needs exist for fuel types without public experimental data, such as MOX, VVER, or CANDU fuels. A third outcome is related to SNF assemblies for which no direct validation can be performed, representing the vast majority of cases (due to the large number of SNF assemblies currently stored, or too short or too long cooling periods of interest). A few solutions are possible, depending on the application. For the final repository, systematic measurements of quantities related to decay heat can be performed, such as neutron or gamma emission. This would provide indications of the SNF decay heat at the time of encapsulation. For other applications (short- or long-term cooling), the community would benefit from applying consistent and accepted recommendations on calculation methods, for both decay heat and uncertainties. This would improve the understanding of the results and make comparisons easier.},

abstract = {Offshore electricity production, mainly by wind turbines, and, eventually, floating PV, is expected to increase renewable energy generation and their dispatchability. In this sense, a significant part of this offshore electricity would be directly used for hydrogen generation. The integration of offshore energy production into the hydrogen economy is of paramount importance for both the techno-economic viability of offshore energy generation and the hydrogen economy. An analysis of this integration is presented. The analysis includes a discussion about the current state of the art of hydrogen pipelines and subsea cables, as well as the storage and bunkering system that is needed on shore to deliver hydrogen and derivatives. This analysis extends the scope of most of the previous works that consider port-to-port transport, while we report offshore to port. Such storage and bunkering will allow access to local and continental energy networks, as well as to integrate offshore facilities for the delivery of decarbonized fuel for the maritime sector. The results of such state of the art suggest that the main options for the transport of offshore energy for the production of hydrogen and hydrogenated vectors are through direct electricity transport by subsea cables to produce hydrogen onshore, or hydrogen transport by subsea pipeline. A parametric analysis of both alternatives, focused on cost estimates of each infrastructure (cable/pipeline) and shipping has been carried out versus the total amount of energy to transport and distance to shore. For low capacity (100 GWh/y), an electric subsea cable is the best option. For high-capacity renewable offshore plants (TWh/y), pipelines start to be competitive for distances above approx. 750 km. Cost is highly dependent on the distance to land, ranging from 35 to 200 USD/MWh.},

Recently, trapezoidal pulsed alternating magnetic fields (TPAMFs) have proven their efficacy in enhancing the efficiency of heating in MHT as compared to the sinusoidal one. Our study aims to compare the TPAMF waveform’s killing effect against the sinusoidal waveform in B16F10 and CT2A cell lines to determine more efficient waveforms in causing cell death. For that purpose, we used MNPs and different AMF waveforms: trapezoidal (TP), almost-square (TS), triangular (TR), and sinusoidal signal (SN). MNPs at 1 and 4 mg/mL did not affect cell viability during treatment. The exposition of B16F10 and CT2A cells to only AMF showed nonsignificant mortality. Hence, the synergetic effect of the AMF and MNPs causes the observed cell death. Among the explored cases, the nonharmonic signals demonstrated better efficacy than the SN one as an MHT treatment. This study has revealed that the application of TP, TS, or TR waveforms is more efficient and has considerable capability to increase cancer cell death compared to the traditional sinusoidal treatment. Overall, we can conclude that the application of nonharmonic signals enhances MHT treatment efficiency against tumor cells.},

abstract = {Methane pyrolysis is a technology that is being postulated as an option within the Hydrogen economy. Pyrolysis allows gaseous hydrocarbons to be processed without directly emitting CO2, as it is carried out in the absence of oxygen, allowing its integration into the circular economy concept by producing two recoverable elements, such as solid carbon and hydrogen. It is currently classified as a form of turquoise hydrogen generation, as it shares characteristics of green hydrogen, as it does not emit carbon dioxide in the process, and blue hydrogen, as its primary resource is natural gas. There are several technological options to carry out the pyrolysis of natural gas, ranging from direct thermolysis, through the use of catalysts, the use of plasma arcs, or the development of hydrocarbon decomposition in liquid reaction media, such as molten salts or liquid metals. This communication will describe the main remains for the development of pyrolysis reactors with liquid metals, which are currently at Technology Readiness Level around TRL4, in order to advance towards industrially viable and competitive prototypes and demonstrators. That development requires creating numerical models that can be used for the engineering design of pyrolysis reactors. The design tools for this case must be capable of coupling multiphase and multicomponent fluid-mechanical evaluation, which takes into account the evolution of a gaseous phase (natural gas) into a liquid phase (liquid metal) with the formation of solids (carbon). The fluid dynamic calculation runs into the lack of experimental data that allow its validation, which becomes a critical aspect to be able to estimate the chemical kinetics of the reaction itself. This kinetics strongly depends on the residence time of the gas in the medium, and on the temperature. In this communication, those relations between the fluid-mechanical and chemical model that would allow the evaluation of the conversion of natural gas to hydrogen and carbon in the design of the reactor are analyzed. As a result, a series of experiments are proposed to validate these design tools for the pyrolysis process in liquid metal.

 The pressure in an underwater discharge channel is the main parameter that influences all its applications. In this study, we investigate a relatively large gap with a plane-to-plane electrode geometry that uses the assistance of an injected gas bubble for breakdown. The delay in the application of high voltage following the injection of a gas bubble from a grounded electrode determines the initial dimensions of the bubble. We examined three types of discharge: (a) a large bubble with easy triggering, (b) a medium bubble, and (c) a small bubble with difficult triggering. The main diagnostic tool is H 

 α 

 line broadening. It is shown that (i) Doppler broadening plays no role; (ii) at pressure broadening, the resonance and van der Waals broadenings must be considered; (iii) the impact approximation is not applicable, and hence the quasi-static high-pressure (namely ‘nearest neighbour’) approximation must be used; and (iv) the Stark broadening plays the dominant role. Because a mixture of two gases (evaporated water vapour and nitrogen from bubble injection) is present in the discharge channel, simple thermodynamic considerations were applied to estimate the ratio of the contributions of resonance and van der Waals broadening. The larger the bubble, the smaller the pressure detected in the discharge channel. This is in agreement with the measurements of the pressure wave amplitude at a certain distance from the discharge channel using a piezoelectric pressure probe.},

abstract = {During the commissioning and start-up phases of IFMIF-DONES, the 40 MeV deuteron beam will be stopped in a conical beam stopper made of copper, giving rise to intense neutron fields. Accurate coupled deuteron-neutron transport simulations are required in order to prevent the potential risks to the workers and equipment involved. However, the experimental data concerning the neutron emission under these circumstances is scarce and limited to a particular range of energies. Different deuteron nuclear data libraries such as JENDL-5 and special files of TENDL-2021 exhibit some differences on the spectrum of the emitted neutrons. The differences are present in the high energy tails, beyond the available experimental data. Calculations of the prompt neutron fields have been performed employing both deuteron data libraries, as well as employing an estimation of the neutron energy-angle distribution derived from experimental data at different irradiation energies. Even though the high energy tails represent a small part of the flux, they have a major impact on the dose rates. The disparity of the results evinces large uncertainties in the IFMIF-DONES beam dump design process. Further experiments are required in order to resolve the differences among nuclear data libraries and reduce the uncertainty.},

 The advent of x-ray free-electron lasers has enabled a range of new experimental investigations into the properties of matter driven to extreme conditions via intense x-ray-matter interactions. The femtosecond timescales of these interactions lead to the creation of transient high-energy-density plasmas, where both the electrons and the ions may be far from local thermodynamic equilibrium. Predictive modelling of such systems remains challenging because of the different timescales at which electrons and ions thermalize, and because of the vast number of atomic configurations required to describe highly-ionized plasmas. Here we present CCFLY, a code designed to model the time-dependent evolution of both electron distributions and ion states interacting with intense x-ray fields on ultra-short timescales, far from local thermodynamic equilibrium. We explore how the plasma relaxes to local thermodynamic equilibrium on femtosecond timescales in terms of the charge state distribution, electron density, and temperature.},

 During ITER operational life, a remote-handled cask will be used to transfer In-Vessel components to the Hot Cell for maintenance, storage and decommissioning purposes. Due to the distribution of penetrations for system allocation in the facility, the radiation field of each transfer operation presents a high spatial variability; all operations must be studied independently for workers and electronics protection. In this paper, we present a fully representative approach to describe the radiation environment during the complete remote-handling scenario of In-Vessel components in the ITER facility. The impact of all relevant radiation sources during different stages of the operation is addressed. As-built structures and 2020 baseline designs are considered to produce the most detailed neutronics model of the Tokamak Complex, the 400,000-tonne civil structure hosting the tokamak, up to date. Novel capabilities of the D1SUNED code have allowed to compute the integral dose, the dose rate and the photon-induced neutron flux of both moving and static radiation sources. Time bins are included in the simulations to compute the dose rate caused by In-Vessel components at all positions along the transfer. The time evolution of the dose rate is built in video format with a 1-m resolution, especially valuable for hot-spots identification.},

However, there are still many issues to solve related to natural dyes; consequently, synthetic dyes are still wildly used. Natural dyes have a low affinity towards the substrate cotton, so a solution had to be found: mordants. Mordants can also be harmful to the environment, which is why bio-mordants are used. The mordant used in this paper is chitosan. Cotton is pre-mordanted using the pad dyeing method. By using the exhaustion method, the fabric was coloured with red Camellia sinensis (tea) extracts. The colour, absorption of polyphenols and tannins, and ultraviolet protection (UPF) were tested. A comparison study was carried out between the cotton fabric and the cotton padded with chitosan at two different concentrations. The results are impressive. Cotton pre-mordanted with chitosan can absorb more polyphenols and tannins than cotton itself, and the colour fastness and UPF, once the fabric is laundered, demonstrate there is some kind of bonding between the fibre, quitosan, and active compounds from tea. The UPF was also doubled by using chitosan and the reddish colour obtained by Camellia sinensis extracts were darker on the cotton fabric. The increase in UPF protection on mordanted fabrics is higher than the gap obtained by colour difference, which means there are active compounds that do not confer colour, but enhance UPF protection.},

Results show that the amplification process conserves OAM, although some degradation is apparent. Several structures appear in the intensity and phase profiles. These structures have been characterized with our model and related to refraction and interference with the plasma self-emission. Thus, these results not only demonstrate the capability of plasma amplifiers to deliver HOH amplified beams carrying OAM but also pave the way towards using HOH carrying OAM as a probe beam to diagnose the dynamics of hot, dense plasmas.},

In order to assess the predictive capabilities of the code, we have conducted several benchmarks against experimental and 1D modelling results. Afterwards, we study the amplification of an externally seeded UV beam in nitrogen plasma filaments. Our results show that the phase of the amplified beam carries information about the temporal dynamics of amplification and collisional processes inside the plasma, along with information about the spatial structure of the amplified beam and the active region of the filament. We thus conclude that measuring the phase of an UV probe beam, in combination with 3D Maxwell-Bloch modelling, might be an excellent method for diagnosing electron density value and gradients, mean ionization, density of N

With an external injected seeding pulse, a similar split spectral line is observed for the amplified emission. In contrast, for the fluorescence radiation, no such spectral splitting phenomenon is observed with much more abundant R branch structures. Our theoretical model considers gas ionization by the pump pulse, the competition of excitation of all relevant electronic and vibrational states, and an amplification of the seeding pulse in the plasma with a population inversion. Our simulation reproduces this spectral splitting effect, which is attributed to the gain saturation resulting in the oscillation of the amplitude of the amplified signal.},

 We studied by means of an atomistic model based on molecular dynamics the thermal evolution of surface atoms in amorphous silica under high electronic excitation produced by irradiation with swift heavy ions. The model was validated with the total and differential yields measured in sputtering experiments with different ions and ion energies showing a very good quantitative prediction capability. Three mechanisms are behind the evolution of the surface region: (1) an ejection mechanism of atoms and clusters with kinetic energy exceeding their binding energy to the sample surface, which explains the experimentally observed angular distributions of emitted atoms, and the correlation of the total sputtering yield with the electronic stopping power and the incidence angle. (2) A collective mechanism of the atoms in the ion track originated by the initial atom motion outwards the track region subsequently followed by the return to the resulting low-density region in the track center. The collective mechanism describes the energy dissipation of bulk atoms and the changes in density, residual stress, defect formation and optical properties. (3) A flow mechanism resulting from the accumulation and subsequent evolution of surface atoms unable to escape. This mechanism is responsible for the crater rim formation.

This study analyses how, through the use of the nanoadsorbent hydrotalcite, dyes classified by their charge as anionic, cationic and non-ionic can be adsorbed and recovered for successful reuse in new dye baths. The obtained hybrids were characterised by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the colour was analysed by spectrophotometer in the UV-VIS range. The dyes made on cotton, polyester and acrylic fabrics are subjected to different colour degradation tests to assess their viability as final products, using reflection spectroscopy to measure the colour attribute before and after the tests, showing results consistent with those of a conventional dye.},

A morphological evaluation of the tested fabrics was performed using scanning electron microscopy. The ATR–FTIR spectra of the untreated and treated fabric samples were tested using Perkin Elmer, Spectrum 3. A tensile test of the samples was conducted based on the ISO 13934-1 using a MESDAN-Lab tensile strength tester. According to the analysis, the salvia improved the tensile strength of the fabric by 20% and 39% in the warp and weft directions, respectively. The data for the untreated cotton, untreated hemp, and fabrics treated with salvia and thyme were processed using the kernel PCA method. From the principal component analysis it was found that the textile fabrics treated with salvia coalesced close to the untreated ones. This shows that treatment with essential oils from the indicated plant does not significantly affect the tensile properties of textile fabrics. The thymol-treated textile fabrics were significantly distant from those of the control sample. In cotton textile fabrics, thymol treatment was found to have a significant effect on their tensile properties. In hemp fabrics, two types of thymol and salvia treatments were found to have a very significant effect on the tensile strength performance of the textile fabrics. The results obtained can be used in museums, universities, and ethnographic studies that own or maintain collections of heritage textiles.},

The influence of the different pretreatment temperatures to reach the maximum levels of adhesion has been analyzed. Scratch methods have been employed to assess adhesion. The elemental composition, morphology, and roughness of the samples have been studied, as well as the behavior of resistance to wear and friction. The results show an improvement in DCL adhesion. Critical loads (LC3) increase at higher pretreatment temperatures, from 48 N for the DLC to 82 N for the ASPN + DLC. Pretreatment has also been shown to be effective in maintaining excellent dry wear resistance properties and a low coefficient of friction.},

IFMIF-DONES will be a radioactive facility of the first category, and stringent safety objectives must be achieved and demonstrated. A very low acceptable risk for the worker, the public and the environment is the main principle in the design phase. The progress of safety activities is performed iteratively as detailed engineering develops, taking into account the uniqueness of the facility: a high-power deuterons accelerator (125 mA, 40 MeV), a target of flowing liquid lithium, traps for activation products, a dedicated-design module for irradiated samples, a massive shielding cooled room with confinement function, and a number of conventional systems with safety functions. Several phases are developed: (i) identification of sources and materials at risk, radioactive and nonradioactive, subject to potential mobilization, (ii) failure mode analysis and effects of systems, starting at the functional level, and support with probabilistic analysis, (iii) identification of scenarios leading to unacceptable risk if unmitigated, (iv) proposal of layers of defense by means of safety-credited components and design features, (v) deterministic analysis of scenarios in support of requirements, and (vi) definition and demonstration of safety requirements charged to components.},

One approach can be focused on replacing fossil-based dyes with renewable and less polluting alternatives. In this sense, this study focuses on validating the suitability of an innovative natural-based blue dye, phycocyanin, sourced from Spirulina platensis microalgae. The laboratory-based experimental approach envisages the exhaustion dyeing of pre-mordanted cotton and bleached wool with phycocyanin-rich extract, representing the sustainable blue dye. The color characterization of naturally blue-dyed fabrics was performed via CIE Lab coordinates, depth of color by color stregth valures ( K/S), values of dye exhaustion, and colorfastness to laundering and light. The results indicate suitable dyeability with the natural blue dye, with process improvements a possibility. The main environmental character of this process was analyzed from the dyeing effluent characterization perspective. Measurements of chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, and metal content were performed on effluents resulting from dyeing processes with variable parameters, to analyze the influence of mordant use, process temperature, time, and pH. Findings indicate that the application of optimum dyeing process conditions results in the lowest oxygen demand values, suitable for further wastewater reuse, according to international industrial effluent limitations. The biological fungi wastewater treatment resulted in the reduction of biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand values by around 80%, comparable with the industrial process, validating the sustainable character of using algae-based phycocyanin in the bath exhaustion dyeing process.},

 This paper describes in detail a novel manufacturing process for optical gratings suitable for use in the UV and soft X-ray regimes in a single-crystal diamond substrate based on highly focused swift heavy-ion irradiation. This type of grating is extensively used in light source facilities such as synchrotrons or free electron lasers, with ever-increasing demands in terms of thermal loads, depending on beamline operational parameters and architecture. The process proposed in this paper may be a future alternative to current manufacturing techniques, providing the advantage of being applicable to single-crystal diamond substrates, with their unique properties in terms of heat conductivity and radiation hardness. The paper summarizes the physical principle used for the grating patterns produced by swift heavy-ion irradiation and provides full details for the manufacturing process for a specific grating configuration, inspired in one of the beamlines at the ALBA synchrotron light source, while stressing the most challenging points for a potential implementation. Preliminary proof-of-concept experimental results are presented, showing the practical implementation of the methodology proposed herein.},

 In the frame of the WPJET3-DT Technology project within the EUROfusion Consortium program, neutronics experiments are being carried out in preparation for the current deuterium–tritium campaign on JET (DTE2). The experiments are conducted to validate the neutronics codes and tools used in ITER, thus reducing the related uncertainties and the associated risks in the machine operation. Recently, the shutdown dose rate (SDR) results of the 2016 DD campaign have been analyzed using the D1S and R2S computational methodologies showing relevant differences between the results provided by both methods. The greatest discrepancies, found in the SDR calculated in the second octant at 6 h after shutdown, are a factor 2 of difference in the total decay photon flux and a different peak location close to 0.511 MeV. This article presents a detailed analysis of the D1S and R2S simulations performed to find the causes of these discrepancies. The conclusions of the analysis determine that the use of the typical neutron and gamma energy structures used in common R2S simulations can tend to a photon flux significant overestimation or a shift in the output spectrum, respectively. In addition to alerting about this important problem in R2S calculations, this article also proposes a solution to mitigate each effect that can be implemented in R2S codes. The application of the proposed solutions significantly reduces the differences between the photon spectrum calculated with D1S and R2S methods.},

 In this paper, we report on an enhanced hydrogen permeation effect along grain boundaries in tungsten. Sputtered nanocolumnar tungsten layers (column lateral dimensions 100–150 nm and layer thickness 2 μm) were analysed by hydrogen permeation measurements in the temperature range 520–705 K. The experiments constitute a direct observation of this effect, previously postulated by means of a combination of indirect experiments and simulations and considered controversial due to the lack of direct measurements. DFT results support this observation since (i) the hydrogen binding energy to the grain boundary is 1.05 eV and (ii) the migration energies along the grain boundary and along the bulk are 0.12 eV and 0.20 eV, respectively. OKMC simulations, parametrized by DFT data, were used as a supporting tool to attain a better understanding of the involved phenomena. The OKMC results are also compatible with the observations. Indeed, they show that the fraction of hydrogen flux along grain boundaries in the steady-state permeation regime increases when decreasing the ratio of lateral dimensions to length of the nanocolumns, rapidly approaching unity when this ratio is < 2. Therefore, grain boundaries act as preferential migration pathways for H atoms at the studied temperature range in the studied samples. This behaviour has interesting implications to reduce the retention of hydrogen in several applications, in particular, fusion materials exposed to plasma discharges.},

Here, I present extensive results of several unusually long ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employing different combinations of the Born–Oppenheimer and second-generation Car–Parrinello MD propagation methods with different ensembles (NVE and NVT) and thermostats, which show that these methods together with the RPBE-D3 functional provide a very accurate estimation of the diffusion coefficients of the solvated H3O+ and OH− ions, together with an extremely accurate description of several properties of neutral water (such as the structure of the liquid and its diffusion and shear viscosity coefficients). In addition, I show that the estimations of DH3O+ and DOH− depend dramatically on the simulation length, being necessary to reach timescales in the order of hundreds of picoseconds to obtain reliable results.},

The induced bending angle and the radius of curvature were used to measure the effect of the treatment. Their dependence on the pulse energy, the treated area, the distance between lines, and the laser repetition rate was studied. High repetition rates do not allow the sample to cool down, affecting the bending to the point of being negligible. An FEM simulation and experiments were carried out to prove that the increase in temperature due to high repetition rate can relax the stresses induced by laser peen treatment, thus preventing bending in the sample.},

abstract = {This manuscript introduces and experimentally demonstrates a novel concept of selective metal ion irradiation by combining bipolar HIPIMS with conventional DC magnetron sputtering operation and simple DC biasing. The addition of the positive pulse to a conventional HIPIMS discharge accelerates the predominantly metal ions created during the negative HIPIMS phase with an energy proportional to the positive pulse amplitude and ionization state. Two distinct metal elements with large difference in atomic mass (Cr and Nb) are used on this work to irradiate a TiAlN matrix which is being deposited by conventional DCMS. The positive acceleration voltages used for both Cr and Nb discharges were varied between 0 to +200 V to analyze the influence of Nb and Cr metal ion irradiation on the mechanical and microstructural properties of TiAlN films. Even though the total metal ion incorporation into the TiAlN matrix for both Cr and Nb is less than 10% at%, strong effects are observed on the resulting film properties. It was observed that use of the lighter metal ion Cr is more beneficial than the heavier metal ion Nb. The Cr bombardment allows a hardness improvement from 7 to 22 GPa as well as a reduced film accumulated stress at the highest positive acceleration voltage. From the XRD measurements it is observed that the Cr atoms are inserted into the TiAlN cubic matrix maintaining its crystalline structure. However, the bombardment with the high-mass metal ion (Nb) promotes the deformation of the cubic TiAlN matrix, resulting in a spinodal decomposition and further degradation of the crystalline structure with the appearance of the hexagonal wurtzite-type Al-rich phase. This is also translated to the resulting film mechanical properties, as hardness rapidly decreases from 25 to 10 GPa and stress increases linearly with the positive voltage acceleration.},

 The Horizon 2020 European Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor Safety Measures Assessment and Research Tools (ESFR-SMART) project investigates the behavior of the commercial-size ESFR throughout its lifetime. This paper reports work focused on the end of equilibrium cycle (EOEC) loading of the ESFR, including neutronic analysis, core- and zone-wise reactivity coefficients, and more detailed local mapping of important safety-relevant parameters. Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis on these parameters have also been performed, and a detailed investigation into decay heat mapping was carried out. Due to the scope of this work, the results have been split into three papers. The nominal operating conditions and both zone-wise and local mapping of reactivity coefficients are considered in this paper. The work was performed across four institutions using both continuous-energy Monte Carlo (MC) and deterministic reactor physics codes. A good agreement is observed between the methods, verifying the suitability of these codes for simulation of large, complicated reactor configurations and giving confidence in the results for the most limiting ESFR EOEC core state for safety analysis. The results from this work will serve as the basis for the transient calculations planned for the next stage of work on the ESFR, allowing for more in-depth studies to be performed on the multiphysics behavior of the reactor.},

This detailed map provides basic information for subsequent transient calculations of the ESFR. A comprehensive analysis of the decay heat has been carried out and interdependencies between decay heat and different parameters characterizing the core state prior to shutdowns, such as discharge burnup or type of fuel material, have been identified. That analysis has served as a basis to develop analytic functions to reconstruct the spatial-dependent decay heat power for the ESFR for cooling times within the first day after shutdown.},

In this work, the effect of a nanoclay, specifically Halloysite, to adsorb reactive dyes has been used as an example of a technique. As an example of this type of coloring substances, Reactive Yellow 2 has been used, which has been subjected to the adsorbent action of the mineral, having an adsorption of 78% in the proposed experiment. Subsequently, it has undergone a desorption process by applying temperature to the dye-clay hybrid, so that later, thanks to the effect of solvents (HCL and / or NaOH), the desorption process in aqueous solution can be completed, obtaining a recovery from the dye. up to 17.67% adsorbed, which is interpreted as a very good result. At the same time, the ability to stamp the HNT has been tested once the dye has been adsorbed and used on a PES / CO textile, demonstrating the viability of this process and evaluating its results by rubbing and washing fastness tests.},

 In the paper, the specification of a new neutronics benchmark for large sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) core and results of modeling by different participants are presented. The neutronics benchmark describes the core of the French sodium cooled reactor Superphénix at its startup configuration, which in particular was used for experimental measurement of reactivity characteristics. The benchmark consists of the detailed heterogeneous core specification for neutronic analysis and the results of the reference solution. Different core geometries and thermal conditions from the cold “as fabricated” up to full power were considered. The reference Monte Carlo (MC) solution of serpent 2 includes data on multiplication factor, power distribution, axial and radial reaction rates distribution, reactivity coefficients and safety characteristics, control rods worth, kinetic data. The results of modeling with seven other solutions using deterministic and MC methods are also presented and compared to the reference solution. The comparisons results demonstrate appropriate agreement of evaluated characteristics. The neutronics results will be used in the second phase of the benchmark for the evaluation of transient behavior of the core.},

 Modelling plasma-based seeded soft X-ray lasers from the creation of the plasma to the propagation of a femtosecond high-order harmonic (HOH) seed throughout several millimetres of inhomogeneous plasma is a complex challenge. Different spatio-temporal scales from the hydrodynamic evolution of the plasma (hundreds of micrometres and nanoseconds) to the propagation of pulses through the plasma (millimetres and tens of picoseconds), electron collisions (picoseconds or even shorter) and the evolution of the envelope of the seeded HOH (tens of femtoseconds) must be tackled in order to fully understand these systems. In this paper, we will present the multi-scale computational paradigm that we have used to perform a full

 We report on the irradiation of gold rod–sphere assemblies with ultrashort laser pulses, producing structures that are very difficult to obtain by other methods. The optical response of these assemblies displays several peaks arising from the interaction of the plasmon modes of the individual particles, offering thus great flexibility to control the energy deposited on the individual particles. Judicious selection of the wavelength and fluence of the laser pulses allow fine control over the changes produced: the particles can be melted, welded and/or the organic links cleaved. In this way, it is possible to generate structures “à la carte” with a degree of control unmatched by other synthetic protocols. The method is exemplified with gold nanoparticles, but it can be easily implemented on particles composed of different metals, widening considerably the range of possibilities. The final structures are excellent candidates for surface-enhanced spectroscopies or plasmonic photothermal therapy as they have a very intense electric field located outside the structure, not in the gaps.},

This work reports the results of scratch testing for the measurement of adhesion and of tests for wear resistance and nanoindentation in AISI 316L stainless steel coated with a WC:C coating, produced using novel high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technology with positive pulses. In addition, the use of a preceding surface modification technique, specifically plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII), was studied with the aim of optimizing the adhesion of the coating. The results show how the coating improved the tribomechanical properties through the use of positive pulse HiPIMS compared to conventional HiPIMS, with an adhesion result that reached critical load values of 48.5 N and a wear coefficient of 3.96 × 10−7 mm3/nm.},

One track to this is ‘pyrolysis’ in which natural gas is split into ‘white’ hydrogen and carbon black. This avoids the need for a massive roll-out of carbon capture and storage sites as envisaged in natural gas reforming or ‘blue’ hydrogen schemes. The advantages of both options are needed to support longer-term efforts to move towards ‘green’ hydrogen where water is split into its elements. By leading the development of all these routes to hydrogen, the energy majors of today will be able to utilise their enormous resources, technical ingenuity and vast capital and lead the future of energy. With the COP26 climate conference just months away, the UK has a critical role in directing efforts to bring hydrogen to the fore both at home and abroad.},

abstract = {A new type of Fresnel array has been devised and constructed as an answer to the need to reduce the investment costs of solar thermal collectors, without jeopardizing their efficiency in capturing solar radiation at high temperatures. The array of mirror bands is fixed onto a horizontal platform, which rotates around a virtual vertical axis, so that the sun is in the extrapolated vertical plane of symmetry of the array. The receptor central line is also placed in said plane, and it is physically made of at least one tube at each side of the plane. The geometrical relation between the mirrors and the receptor is therefore fixed. The platform rotates with the same speed as that of the sunlight’s azimuthal component. On the contrary, the angle of incidence of the sunlight on the mirrors changes as the sun rises and declines in its daily apparent motion, but this effect does not disturb the radiation concentration kinematics, although it induces a shift along the receptor. This is a new configuration based on the use of simple and cheap flat mirrors to obtain circular cylindrical mirrors. These mirrors are made of originally flat mirrors that are bent by applying an inexpensive and simple bending technique patented by our research group. The radius of curvature of each mirror is tuned to the distance from the mirror to the receiver central line. The integration of different scientific domains (such as structural analysis) and elementary technologies (such as 3D printing) in this innovative solar radiation concentrator and receiver can lead to a large reduction in costs. Nevertheless, the first experimental campaign has shown additional problems in the receiver configuration, which should be addressed in a next stage of research. This paper explains the methodology used and procedures in the development of the first prototype of the Sundial.},

 The relaxation of free electron–hole pairs generated after proton irradiation is modelled by means of a simplified set of hydrodynamic equations. The model describes the coupled evolution of the electron–hole pair and self-trapped exciton (STE) densities, along with the electronic and lattice temperatures. The equilibration of the electronic and lattice excitations is based on the two-temperature model, while two mechanisms for the relaxation of free electron–hole pairs are considered: STE formation and Auger recombination. Coulomb screening and band gap renormalisation are also taken into account. Our numerical results show an ultrafast (

abstract = {A combinatorial thin-film synthesis approach together with a high throughput analysis methodology was successfully applied to synthetize TiN/Ni coatings with optimum mechanical properties. The synthesis approach consists of the deposition of TiN/Ni coatings with the Ni content ranging from around 0 to 20 at.% by reactive magnetron sputtering with a well-defined composition gradient, so that almost all possible compositions are produced in one single coating under identical conditions, removing uncertainties from processing conditions. The analysis methodology continuously screened the microstructure, residual stresses, hardness and fracture toughness of TiN/Ni coatings. The results show that a nanocomposite microstructure of equiaxed nanograins of crystalline δ-TiN embedded in a Ni rich amorphous phase is formed in the composition window between 8 and 12 Ni at.%. This microstructure offers a superior combination of hardness and toughness and a simultaneous reduction of residual stresses with respect to TiN coatings grown in the same conditions. Higher Ni contents are however detrimental because they compromise the integrity of the coatings.},

Comparisons with experimental results of homogeneous optically thick plasmas of 

gold and xenon are presented in order to check its accuracy. The influence of different approaches of the spatial discretization of the plasma in the radiation dependent 

atomic kinetics simulations is also analyzed. Finally, this study is also made for a non-homogeneous optically thick aluminum plasma.},

Laser-heating of a two-layer CH/CH-Br foil drives a $textbackslashsim$40 km/s shock inside a gas-cell filled with argon at an initial pressure of 1 bar. The use of gas-cell targets with large (several mm) lateral and axial extent allows the shock to propagate freely without any wall interactions, and permits a large field of view to image single and colliding counter-propagating shocks with time resolved, point-projection X-ray backlighting ($textbackslashsim20$ $textbackslashmu$m source size, 4.3 keV photon energy). Single shocks were imaged up to 100 ns after the onset of the laser drive allowing to probe the growth of spatial non-uniformities in the shock apex. These results are compared with experiments looking at counter-propagating shocks, showing a symmetric drive which leads to a collision and stagnation from $textbackslashsim$40 ns onward. We present a preliminary comparison with numerical simulations with the radiation hydrodynamics code ARWEN, which provides expected plasma parameters for the design of future experiments in this facility.},

 The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is a projected accelerator-based, D-Li neutron source for fusion reactor materials qualification. LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator) is an accelerator aiming to generate a 125 mA, 9 MeV continuous wave deuteron beam, which is currently being commissioned in Rokkasho (Japan) with the objective of validating the IFMIF accelerator design. 

 In LIPAc, a 10 m long High Energy Beam Transport line (HEBT) will connect the exit of the superconducting linac to the beam dump (BD). The HEBT line must accommodate the diagnostics for beam characterization and open the beam at the end to allow its stopping at the BD. The line contains several magnets to control the beam shape and its trajectory, maintaining beam losses below 1 W m 

 −1 

 along the beamline to limit activation of surrounding elements and allow hands-on maintenance. 

 In this work, the LIPAc HEBT line project is described since its origins. A summary of the beam dynamics calculations and other studies (vacuum, radioprotection, assembly, alignment) that led to the conceptual design of the line is done. After that, the detailed design of the line is presented, justifying the main design decisions taken and finally, the manufacturing and procurement process and the acceptance tests performed are summarized.},

abstract = {Abstract 

 The first human missions on Mars will likely involve several astrobiology‐driven science operations, at sites with high biosignature preservation potential. Here, we present a study of the radiation environment induced by Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar Energetic Particles at Oxia Planum, landing site of the European Space Agency ExoMars 2022 mission, and at two different locations in Mawrth Vallis, using the Monte Carlo GEometry ANd Tracking 4‐based code dMEREM (detailed Martian Energetic Radiation Environment Model). The radiation environment for solar minimum in 2009 and a period close to solar maximum during the declining phase of solar cycle 23 appears similar at the different sites, with the deepest Mawrth Vallis location having a slightly enhanced 

 γ 

 ‐ray contribution, due to a higher modulation of fast neutrons by the more water‐rich regolith. The comparison with the Dose Equivalent from an updated extrapolation of 7+ years data from the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) onboard the Curiosity rover highlights the importance of input modulation conditions, some drawbacks of the galactic cosmic ray model used here, and the need to include heavy ions, the three aspects affecting differently the estimations for solar maximum and minimum. The dependence of doses on surface pressure highlights a possible influence of the different dust loading at the different sites. Estimated exposure levels for a 1‐year stay and for a short stay in Arabia Terra, the latter including a October 28, 2003 event with a fluence an order of magnitude higher than the relevant September 2017 event detected by RAD, leave reasonable to large safety margins.

 Plain Language Summary 

 Space radiation is caused by high‐energy particles coming from the Sun or further away. Such radiation is dangerous for humans since they can cause cancers. At Earth, we are protected by a relatively thick atmosphere and by the global magnetic field, but the first explorers of Mars will be subject to higher radiation exposure. In this paper, we compute the risks caused by these radiations at Oxia Planum, the landing site of the ExoMars 2022 mission, and Mawrth Vallis, previously under scrutiny by NASA and European Space Agency, both in the northern hemisphere. We modeled different conditions of space radiation (which is determined by the activity of the Sun) and we considered the effect of the ground composition on the results. The model results are compared with the estimations of the radiation at the ground based on the observations by the Curiosity rover located at the Gale crater in the Southern hemisphere. We show that locations rich in water may have more gamma rays. We show that the risks are moderate when considering the radiation exposure limits recommended for Low Earth Orbit.

 Key Points 

 We study the radiation environment induced by galactic and solar radiation at Oxia Planum and Mawrth Vallis, for solar maximum/minimum 

 Doses for solar maximum/minimum and their variation on surface pressure are compared to an updated analysis of Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) data and previous results 

 Slightly different water amounts in the regolith affect backscattered gamma‐rays; exposure for long/short stays implies moderate/low risk},
