✦ Synopsis
In recent years, the use of infrared thermography based non-destructive test (NDT) methods to characterize and control manufacturing processes has been progressively increased. This method can be employed in the fabrication process of containers for nuclear fuel transport. In order to avoid undesirable bubbles, thermal gradients must be controlled during cooling process of the lead shield included in the container. Using infrared thermography the cooling process behaviours are analyzed and monitored on real time, and enabling its control.

We have found in our recent kinetic study of the oxidation of HCN by NO2 in the temperature range 623-773 K that HNCO and COz are very important early products. The measured kinetic data cannot be accounted for by a "conventional" mechanism involving HCN reactions with NOz, 0, and OH. However, the i
