Lie-isotopic representation of stable nuclei III: Exact and time invariant representation of nuclear stability by Ruggero Santilli

“…The main implications of the above studies are: 1) The prediction of novel means for the recycling of radioactive nuclear waste by nuclear power plants via new stimulated decays. 2) The possible return to the continuous creation of matter in the universe as a consistent way to explain the 0.782 MeV missing in the neutron synthesis. 3) The apparent confirmation of the historical reduction of all matter in the universe to pro- tons and electrons…”

Experiment and Numerical Simulation on Creep Mechanical Behaviors of Mudstone under Unloading Condition by Xudong Feng

“…The deep soft rock with complex occurrence conditions is easy to produce significant creep deformation under the influence of high in situ stress, high temperature, and disturbance, which has a great influence on the safety and long-term stability of structures with long service life, such as underground chambers and nuclear waste storage rooms. To study the creep effect of surrounding rock of deep chamber under the condition of excavation and unloading, creep tests of deep mudstone over 1000 meters in unloading confining pressure were carried out in this work. …”

Effect of Heating Rate on the Dynamic Compressive Properties of Granite by Ronghua Shu, Tubing Yin, Xibing Li

“…Variation in the heating rate due to different geothermal gradients is a cause of much concern in underground rock engineering such as deep sea and underground tunnels, nuclear waste disposal, and deep mining. By using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and variable-speed heating furnace, the dynamic compressive properties of granite were obtained after treatments at different heating rates and temperatures; these properties mainly included the dynamic compressive strength, peak strain, and dynamic elastic modulus. …”
