The scheduled termination of PT IP-659-AC, presently being irradiated in F Reactor, will result in discharge of 105 columns of enriched uranium (0.947 w/o U-235) at less than 50 per cent of the goal exposure. The test block is currently scheduled to be replaced with natural uranium columns. Since F Reactor is on a semiblock discharge plan (alternate rows), subsequent operating ...

In this paper, a model with a small number of parameters is used to simulate the motion of a cantilever in the AC mode of an atomic force microscope (AFM). The results elucidate the transition dependence-from noncontact to tapping operating mode-on the height of the contamination layer and on the stiffness of the sample.
