[10]Progress on India's Thorium Nuclear Reactor and South Africa's Pebble
Bed

   Progress on South Africa's Pebble Bed Reactor
   [11]Canada's SNC Lavalin has gotten a C$253 million contract to help
   build the second phase of a demonstration Pebble Bed Modular Reactor
   (PBMR) for completion by 2014 in Koeberg, South Africa. The small
   advanced reactor, a South African national project, would produce 165
   MWe and could be built in 'packs' of eight. It is hoped that up to 30
   of the units would be used in South Africa in coming decades, taking
   industrial heat-supply roles in the production of hydrogen and
   synthetic oils as well as electricity. The PBMR design is also a
   contender for build in the USA in the Next Generation Nuclear Plant
   project.

   India's Thorium Reactor
   The head of the Mumbai reactor design and development group, Ratan
   Kumar Sinha, spoke to IEEE Spectrum about India's Thorium reactor
   design and plans. The Thorium reactor will have less waste (unburned
   fuel) than current reactors and is designed to operate for 100 years
   instead of 30-60 years for current reactors.
   [18]In April, 2008, India started a test reactor for its Thorium
   design, which has a flexible configuration and allows use of a range
   of fuel materials; we can even physically shift the distance between
   fuel rods. Here we are able to simulate the reactor almost 100
   percent.
   They have used the well-proven pressure-tube technology and introduced
   many passive safety features, a distinguishing one being the reactor's
   ability to remove core heat by natural circulation of coolant under
   normal operating and shutdown conditions. This eliminates the need for
   nuclear-grade circulating pumps, which, besides providing economic
   advantages, enhances reliability.
   They have also introduced passive shutdown on the main heat transport
   system in case of a failure of the wired shutdown system. Using
   mechanical energy from the increased steam pressure, the system
   injects neutron poison into the moderator [that sustains the nuclear
   chain reaction]. There are several other safety features, which are
   important, because they allow the reactor to be built close to the
   population.
   Sinha: This is a vertical, pressure-tube-type, heavy-water-moderated,
   and boiling-light-water-cooled natural circulation reactor. The fuel
   assembly is 10.5 meters in length and is suspended from the top in the
   coolant channel. The fuel cluster has 54 pins arranged in three
   concentric rings around a central rod. The 24 pins in the outer ring
   have thorium-plutonium as fuel, and the 30 pins in the inner and
   middle rings have thorium-uranium-233 as fuel. The plutonium pins are
   placed in the outer ring to minimize the plutonium requirement. The
   thorium provides 60 percent of the reactor's power.
   The reactor is designed [to last] 100 years. Present-generation
   reactors have a design life of about 40 years, and many of the
   reactors in the West have been extended beyond that. However, what
   goes inside the core of our advanced reactors will have a lifetime of
   [only] about 30 years, so the design includes replacement of the
   material twice in the life of the reactor, which can be carried out
   during normal annual shutdowns. The reactor is also designed for
   on-power fueling.
   The reactor will produce 300 megawatts of electricity and 500 cubic
   meters per day of desalinated water for its own purposes.
   The perennial challenge was to match the reactor's physics
   requirements with heat-removal requirements from the core. Physicists
   wanted to bring down the moderator use as low as possible, which meant
   the reactor had to be made very compact, with fuel rods being placed
   as close to one another as possible. The fuel rod spacing had to be
   reduced from the standard 270 millimeters to 245, and finally to 225
   µm--something not attempted anywhere before. And that tremendously
   improved the performance of the reactor.
   Another innovation was in differentially enriching the fuel [that is,
   boosting its fissile content] at the top and bottom of the central
   rod. The upper half has 2.5 percent enrichment; the lower half has 4
   percent enrichment. This caused the power to jump from 230 MW to 300
   MW.
   Why was thorium not economical?
   Sinha: Thorium has a much lower neutron multiplication rate than
   plutonium, and hence you cannot achieve power levels in a reactor as
   high as with plutonium. When burned, thorium initially acts like a
   blotting paper for neutrons and keeps absorbing them. But this
   exercise also means it is getting enriched and converted into U-233,
   which will pay dividends later on. Once the energy generated has
   reached 40 000 megawatt-days per metric ton, U-233 starts contributing
   many more neutrons than what has been lost in absorption by thorium.
   So you tend to get economic benefits of thorium if you have a fuel
   that can run up to 40 000 MWd/t and beyond. But most early generation
   reactors had lower burn-up values of around 15 000 to 20 000 MWd/t.
   These have, of course, risen to about 40 000 MWd/t in recent time. So
   the world is now thinking of thorium.

[36]Progress towards a Helium atom microscope

   Electron microscopes are great for magnification but they tend to
   destroy or damage what they are looking at. Similar magnification
   should be possible using a much lower-energy, gentler beam of helium
   atoms and recording how they are scattered by a sample. Up to this
   point only 1% of helium atoms can be reflected and focused from thin
   film silicon.

   [43]Vázquez de Parga and his team found they could avoid surface bumps
   by depositing the lead onto the silicon surface at low temperatures
   between -173 and -133°C. The end result is a perfectly smooth lead
   film that can act as an almost flawless mirror. The surface is
   atomically flat, more than 90% of the film is exactly the same
   thickness, down to the level of individual lead atoms. It can focus
   more than 15% of incoming helium atoms into a tight beam, and Vázquez
   de Parga hopes to increase this proportion to 40%.

     Bill Allison at Cambridge University, UK, leads a team
     experimenting with thin silicon mirrors to focus beams of helium.
     "[This work] represents a key step forward in producing a device to
     focus helium atoms," he says.
     "The remaining step is to combine the high reflectivity with a
     carefully deformed surface in order to create a focused atomic
     spot. That is still quite a challenge."

[89]Philip Moriarty discusses Molecular Nanotechnology Validation experiment
plans

   [90]On the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology blog comments, Philip
   Moriarty discusses his plans for [91]testing the viability of
   positionally-controlled atom-by-atom fabrication of diamondoid
   materials as described in the Freitas-Merkle minimal toolset theory
   paper.

     A combination of low temperature tuning fork (Qplus) AFM, STM, and
     tunnelling spectroscopy (dI/dV and d2I/dV2, i.e. inelastic
     tunnelling spectroscopy) will be used to implement and/or
     characterise scanning probe-driven mechanosynthesis reactions on
     diamond (C(100)) in UHV and at temperatures in the 4 K - 300K
     range. Initially we will need to demonstrate atomic resolution on
     C(100). We will then explore some of the ideas in Freitas and
     Merkle's "minimal toolset" paper in order to extract hydrogen from
     a H-passivated C(100) surface and subsequently add a carbon dimer.
     As regards verification, a key goal is for theory and experiment to
     run in parallel, one reinforcing the other. For example, we will
     aim to reproduce experimental force-distance spectra (measured as a
     tip approaches a diamond surface during a mechanosynthesis
     reaction) using DFT calculations. You ask whether the research
     includes "seeking out work-arounds". Yes, most definitely! There's
     an interesting quote from a recent international review of UK
     materials research that should be printed in bold capital letters
     on the front of all documentation produced by funding bodies, viz.:
     "Research is always about risk taking, no matter whether the risk
     involves failure to meet a certain set of expectations or failure
     to create truly new, significant knowledge or understanding of a
     problem. To be clear, if the outcome of the effort can be
     anticipated, it is highly questionable whether this effort should
     be called research."
     When the project gets going I will aim to set up a blog that will
     report on progress.

   Philip also had a comment about diamond versus graphene
   nanotechnology.

     It's important to note that the diamond mechanosynthesis proposal
     focuses specifically on diamond and, indeed, on a particular
     challenge which I first raised in my debate with Chris Phoenix a
     few years back: scanning probe "epitaxy" of a row of carbon dimers
     using purely force-driven reactions on hydrogen-passivated diamond.
     Rob Freitas and Ralph Merkle's recent minimal toolset paper has
     been particularly important in defining the plan and objectives of
     the proposal and I want to stay focused on this, rather than move
     to graphene.
     Graphene is, of course, a very interesting system and it's possible
     that we may explore this in the course of the five year
     mechanosynthesis grant. My suspicion, however, is that achieving
     basic "mechanoepitaxy" on diamond will take at the very least five
     years!
     As regards [Jim Moore] points:
     1. Being able to hold a sheet of graphene away from another surface
     may well be useful for longer term mechanosynthetic work but the
     primary objective of the EPSRC-funded work is to demonstrate the
     validity of a small number of mechanosynthesis reactions - which
     have been explored by Freitas and Merkle via DFT calculations using
     very many thousands of CPU hours - on a bulk diamond surface.
     2. This is actually a rather challenging way of detecting a
     successful operation. It will be more straight-forward to use the
     scanning probe itself - through force-distance, I(V) and d2I/dV2
     (inelastic) tunnelling spectroscopy - to monitor a successful
     mechanosynthesis reaction event.
     3. The metastability of diamond with respect to graphite/graphene
     is not really an issue here. The H:C(100) surface represents an
     excellent platform for site specific scanning probe-driven
     chemistry. Drexler understood this very well - his choice of
     diamond(oid) in Nanosystems was very well-informed.
     4. Hmmmm. Yes, graphene is certainly a well-funded area but it may
     not always be a good idea to chase current trends in order to
     secure money for research!

[109]Stem cells for Unlimited Blood Supply Could Provide the money for Stem
Cell Life Extension

   [110]
   Advanced Cell Technology is the company behind the new stem cell blood
   breakthrough which could supply unlimited disease free blood. The
   company is only up 50% to a valuation of 6.7 million. [111]Biotime is
   a related company
   [112]Robert Lanza is the chief scientist behind Advanced Cell
   Technology and was featured in Discover Magazine. He is also working
   on using stem cells for curing spinal injury and regenerating limbs
   and extending life span. Progess has been delayed by insufficient
   funding and regulations. With the blood breakthrough funding could be
   less of a problem.

     We have cells that reverse paralysis in sheep that have spina
     bifida and can't walk. After we injected our cells, the first
     animal that we treated returned to normal and was walking fine. The
     same model could work for paralyzed humans, but without funding, we
     haven't been able to repeat the experiment in five years. People
     are in wheelchairs when there could be a cure.
     We're continuing [the work of harvesting embryonic stem cells from
     human clones], but with less urgency since the discovery of induced
     pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells--adult cells that have been
     reprogrammed back to an embryonic state. We're working on new ways
     to reprogram skin cells that would allow us to safely create a bank
     of stem cell lines that would closely match the population as a
     whole. It turns out that only 100 cell lines could give you a
     complete haplotype, or immune, match for 50 percent of the U.S.
     population. These reprogrammed cells are not as controversial since
     you don't use cloning or embryo
     Hemangioblasts and Life Extension
     It turns out that the human life span plateaus as it approaches a
     roof of about 120. By eliminating infectious diseases, some chronic
     diseases, and cancer, we can get the life span past 100. I think
     with tissue engineering we can patch you together like a bicycle
     tire, replacing a kidney with a kidney and a heart with a heart, to
     about 120 years. That was always my thinking: That was the limit.
     But with these hemangioblasts, I now have questioned my own rules.
     These cells can go in and fix the damaged tissue inside, almost
     like nanoparticles. We may be able to do the same thing with
     similar cell lines for neurons, where we can repair the damage in
     the brain itself. So if it continues the way it's going, we may
     break that ceiling, like breaking the sound barrier. I'd be very
     hesitant to put a lid as to where longevity is going to go.

   We recently published a paper on a cell we created called a
   hemangioblast, which exists only transiently in the embryo but not in
   the adult. I think of them like unicorns, these elusive cells that we
   had hypothesized and sought for years. With the ability to become all
   of the blood cells--including your immune cells, red blood cells, all
   of your blood system, as well as vasculature--hemangioblasts have been
   biology's holy grail. What we discovered is that we can create
   literally millions or billions of these from human embryonic stem
   cells. Now that we have them, we are harnessing, for the first time,
   one of nature's early, most profoundly powerful cellular building
   blocks. The point is, we can use transient, intermediate cells like
   hemangioblasts as a toolbox to fix the adult so you don't have to have
   limbs amputated, so you may not have to go blind, to prevent heart
   attacks. We can direct their development into different cell types by
   adding certain molecules to them as they divide.
   Hemangioblasts can cut heart attack deaths in half
   We found that when we injected these cells into a damaged, ischemic
   limb, there was almost 100 percent restoration of blood flow in a
   month. Before, the limb would have been amputated, but now it was
   restored. As to heart attack, injection of the cells cut the death
   rate in half.
   Hemangioblasts can rebuild a fresh immune system
   There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases. What's interesting is that
   when you do a bone marrow transplant for cancer, some of those with
   autoimmune disease go into remission, as if the immune system has been
   eliminated and allowed to rebuild from scratch. Using hemangioblasts
   that are the progenitors of the immune system, we're hoping we can
   replace the immune cells too.
   Hemangioblasts equivalents for other kinds of cells
   The way to think ofthis is that you have a tree with branches that
   give rise to all of the different tissue types of the body. The
   hemangioblast, for instance, gives rise to one branch--to blood cells,
   vessels, and the immune system. But there are also neural stem cells
   as well as early progenitors that have this plasticity in most of the
   other systems of the body. Right now we're trying to discover how to
   isolate and expand them.

   [114]Hemangioblasts

     The concept of the hemangioblast derives from the work of Florence
     Sabin in 1920. Her work on the development of chick embryos led her
     to propose the existence of an angioblast, or a vascular precursor
     cell . Later, work by Murray expanded on Sabin's work, noting that
     cells in the mesoderm (a region in the embryo where blood and early
     vasculature form) flattened to form endothelial cells (the interior
     lining of the blood vessel) at the same time as blood development.
     From this evidence, Murray proposed that a common precursor
     existed. he termed this the hemangioblast. In a 2003 review,
     "Converging Roads: Evidence for the Adult Hemangioblast," research
     from the last eighty three years was summarized.
