Exploring the Circumstellar Environment of Tycho’s Supernova Remnant. II. Impact on the Broadband Nonthermal Emission by Ryosuke Kobashi, Shiu-Hang Lee, Takaaki Tanaka, Keiichi Maeda

“…While the simulated broadband spectrum based on the wind–MC environment is largely consistent with observations, we find that such an environment predicts a harder gamma-ray spectrum than observed due to the relatively low CSM density in the cavity interior of the MC. This difference can be at least partially attributed to the present 1D setup of the model, which does not account for the clumpy and multidimensional structure of the CSM. …”

Transmutation Strategy Using Thorium-Reprocessed Fuel ADS for Future Reactors in Vietnam by Thanh Mai Vu, Takanori Kitada

“…Results show that by using the seed-blanket designed ADS, at 40 GWd/t burnup, 192 kg of plutonium and 156 kg of MA can be eliminated. Equivalently, 1  ADS can be able to transmute the transuranic (TRU) waste from 2  LWRs. 14 units of ADS would be required to eliminate TRUs from the future reactors to be constructed in Vietnam.…”
