Real-Time Elemental and Isotopic Measurements of Molten Salt Systems through Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy.

Molten salt reactors are an emerging advanced nuclear reactor concept in which the fuel is dissolved into the working fluid in the form of a high-temperature molten salt. The complex, mobile, and corrosive nature of this fluid presents a fundamental challenge for analytical measurements. Tracking species throughout the reactor is important for ensuring proper operation.

Experiences of African American caregivers providing care for family living with Alzheimer's disease: A descriptive phenomenological study.

This study aimed to describe how African American family caregivers of people living with Alzheimer's disease manage caregiving. A qualitative study design using a descriptive phenomenological approach was used to understand the lived experiences of African American family caregivers. Fifteen individual semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted via telephone or videoconference between January and June 2023 to address the research question.

Initial Perspectives From Rural-Residing Adults on a Digital Cognitive Health Coaching Intervention: Exploratory Qualitative Analysis.

Background: A growing body of research has examined lifestyle-based interventions for dementia prevention. Specifically, health coaching interventions have been linked to decreased risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) comorbidities, such as diabetes. Despite the association, there is a lack of research examining the efficacy and perception of digital health coaching on reducing AD risk.

Density Measurements of Molten LiF-BeF and LiF-BeF-LaF Salt Mixtures by Neutron Radiography.

The densities of eutectic (LiF)-BeF and mixtures of this salt (FLiBe) with LaF were measured by dilatometry and by neutron attenuation from 673 K to 1,073 K. Because LaF has a limited solubility in FLiBe, it was necessary to determine the amount of LaF in solution before the density could be determined. The FLiBe density determination was favorably benchmarked against the literature data.
