✦ Synopsis

This paper investigates the feasibility and the effectiveness of using stabilizers i.e., internal metal structural components, in augmenting the heat transfer characteristics of a nuclear waste canister.

The present work complements and enhances the results of a prior investigation by the authors in this area.

The problem is modeled as a transient two dimensional heat transfer in two physical domains -the stabilizer and the heat producing spentduel rods.

The results show that, for typical conditions in a waste package design, the stabilizers are quite effective in reducing the overall temperature in a nuclear waste canister.

The results also show that increasing the stabilizer thickness from the present design conditions has a negligible effect on the temperature distribution in the canister.

Furthermore, the results show that the presence of the stabilizers shifts the location of the peak temperature in the nuclear waste canister.

Experimental data on ground- and excited-state properties for all nuclei with mass number A=144 have been compiled and evaluated. States populated in radioactive decay as well as in nuclear reactions have been considered. For these nuclei, level and decay schemes have been built, as well as tables of nuclear properties. This work supersedes the 1989 evaluation by J.K. Tuli (1989Tu02). Manuscripts published before December 2000 have been included in this work
