USING COAL AS A PRESSURE INSTRUMENT OR ENERGY WEAPON by Teodora LAZAR, Mila Ilieva OBRETENOVA, Marius Daniel MARCU, Adina TATAR, Nicolae Daniel FITA, Dragos PASCULESCU

“…The emergence of energy dynamism around the world manifested by the lack of finite primary energy resources (oil, natural gas, coal and uranium) and/or electricity to final consumers and the wish of the world's major energy powers to own and control the entire world energy chain for the purpose of using primary energy resources or electricity as a possible energy weapon or pressure instrument in the context of blackmail and profitability, it makes this paper of great importance and relevance, especially in the new context of military instability on the background and due to energy causes. …”

Prediction of Europium Retention in Perovskite: Potential Candidates for an Engineering Barrier in the Disposal of Radioactive Waste by Huemantzin B. Ortiz-Oliveros, Rosa Ma. Flores Espinosa, Pedro Ávila-Pérez, Daniel Cruz-Gonzalez, Noureddine Ouerfelli

“…Perovskites, such as tausonite, are crystalline metal oxides with excellent optical and photocatalytic properties and have also been used successfully in the retention of metals, simulating the isotopes of uranium and plutonium. In this work, different pseudo-order and thermodynamic models were studied to achieve the prediction of the sorption of Eu3+ (chemical analogous for actinides) in tausonite. …”

THE ECONOMIC INFLUENCE OF FRANCE IN WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA by Juraj Ondriaš, Mykola Palinchak, Kateryna Brenzovych

“…The paper begins by examining the long-term impact of France on the extraction of two key commodities, oil and uranium, on the African continent. This is primarily accomplished through French multinational corporations, which have historical ties to the French government and which exert dominant control over the extraction of the aforementioned mineral resources in the countries under examination. …”

Study of an ADS Loaded with Thorium and Reprocessed Fuel by Graiciany de Paula Barros, Claubia Pereira, Maria A. F. Veloso, Antonella L. Costa

“…In the other fuel rods was used a mixture based upon Pu-MA, removed from PWR-spent fuel, reprocessed by GANEX, and finally spiked with thorium or depleted uranium. The use of reprocessed fuel ensured the use of T232hO2 without the initial requirement of U233 enrichment. …”

Sub-technology market share strongly affects critical material constraints in power system transitions by Huijuan Dong, Tianyu Zhang, Yong Geng, Peng Wang, Shu Zhang, Joseph Sarkis

“…Material constraints are likely to occur for gallium, terbium, germanium, tellurium, indium, uranium and copper. The importance value is determined by the ratio of power sector to all-sector material demand; the importance value of gallium will increase to 50% due to increases in gallium arsenide and permanent magnet sub-technologies. …”
