We present a formalism for extending the second moment tight-binding model[1], incorporating ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic interaction terms which are needed for the FeCr system. For antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials, an explicit additional variable representing the spin is required. In a mean-field approximation this spin can be eliminated. and the potential becomes explicitly temperature dependent. For ferromagnetic interactions, this degree of freedom can be eliminated, and the formalism reduces to the embedded atom method (EAM[2]), and we show the equivalence of existing EAM potentials to "magnetic" Potentials.
The experimental setup SCANDAL used for measurements of the differential cross section for elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, has recently been upgraded with larger CsI scintillating detectors to enable measurements at energies up to 175 MeV. Measurements on Fe. Bi and Si have been carried out using the quasi mono-energetic neutron beam at the The Svedberg Laboratory, and data is under analysis. The experimental setup can be used for measurements on a wide range of target nuclei, including C and O, which are important for dosimetry applications. SCANDAL can also run in proton mode, for measurements of the (n,p) reaction. This paper describes the new experimental setup, and reports on its properties, such as energy resolution.
In this paper a new approach to predict wall temperature during post-dryout heat transfer in channels with flow obstacles is presented. The proposed approach takes into account the obstacle specifics and location in the channel to determine the post-dryout patch onset. The wall temperature in the dry patch area is predicted from Anghel and Anglart correlation to account for developing post-dryout conditions. The method is applied to post-dryout conditions in annulus with pin-spacers and a significant improvement of prediction accuracy in comparison to other reference methods is demonstrated.
This paper presents applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to modeling of two-phase annular-mist flows with evaporating liquid films. This type of two-phase flow exists in boiling channels prior to the onset of dryout. Annular-mist flows have a very complex structure since they contain liquid and vapor, both as the continuous and the dispersed phase. Due to this feature, both the Eulerian-Eulerian as well as the Eulerian-Lagrangian approaches are often used to model such flows. The two approaches, with pertinent conservation equations and closure relationships, are reviewed in this paper.
The effect of externally applied stress on the dislocation bias factor (BF) in bcc iron has been studied using a combination of atomistic static calculations and finite element integration. Three kinds of dislocations were considered, namely, a0/2〈1 1 1〉{1 1 0} screw, a0/2〈1 1 1〉{1 1 0} edge and a0〈1 0 0〉{0 0 1} edge dislocations. The computations reveal that the isotropic crystal expansion leads to an increasing or constant dislocation bias, depending on the Burgers vector and type of dislocation. On the other hand, compressive stress reduces the dislocation bias for all the dislocations studied. Variation of the dislocation BF depending on dislocation type and Burgers vector is discussed by analysing the modification of the interaction energy landscape and the capture efficiency values for the vacancy and self-interstitial atom.
The prompt decay constant method and the area-ratio (Sjostrand) method constitute the reference techniques for measuring the reactivity of a subcritical system using Pulsed Neutron Source experiments (PNS). However, different experiments have shown that in many cases it is necessary to apply corrections to the experimental results in order to take into account spectral and spatial effects. In these cases, the approach usually followed is to develop different specific correction procedures for each method. In this work we discuss the validity of prompt decay constant method and the area-ratio method in the Yalina-Booster subcritical assembly and propose a general correction procedure based on Monte Carlo simulations.
The development of a reactivity monitoring system for subcritical reactors is a major task prior to industrial scale accelerator driven system (ADS) construction. Within the 6th European Framework Program, the IP-EUROTRANS project has performed a series of experiments at the Yalina-Booster subcritical assembly located at the Joint Institute for Power and Nuclear Research (JIPNR) of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, using a continuous (D, T) (fusion) neutron source in pulsed and continuous mode with short interruptions (beam trips). In this paper, the implementation and results of three different monitoring techniques intended to operate with continuous neutron sources will be presented, namely the source-jerk technique, the prompt decay constant technique and the current-to-flux technique. The results will be compared with the values of the reactivity obtained using the pulsed source in PNS experiments, discussed in detail in another paper.
The energetics, defect volume and magnetic properties of single SIAs and small SIA clusters up to size 6 have been calculated by DFT for different configurations like the parallel 〈110〉 dumbbell, the non parallel 〈110〉 dumbbell and the C15 structure. The most stable configurations of each type have been further analyzed to determine the influence on their stability of various solute atoms (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, W, Pd, Al, Si, P), relevant for steels used under irradiation. The results show that the presence of solute atoms does not change the relative stability order among SIA clusters. The small SIA clusters investigated can bind to both undersized and oversized solutes. Several descriptors have been considered to derive interesting trends from results. It appears that the local atomic volume available for the solute is the main physical quantity governing the binding energy evolution, whatever the solute type (undersized or oversized) and the cluster configuration (size and type).
Accelerator-driven systems have been proposed for incineration of transuranic elements from spent nuclear fuel. For safe operation of such facilities, a robust method for reactivity monitoring is required. Experience has shown that the performance of reactivity measurement methods in terms of accuracy and applicability is highly system dependent. Further investigations are needed to increase the knowledge data bank before applying the methods to an industrial facility and to achieve license to operate such a facility. In this thesis, two systems have been subject to investigation of various reactivity measurement methods. Conditions for successful utilization of the methods are presented, based on the experimental experience. In contrast to previous studies in this field, the reactivity has not only been determined, but also monitored based on the so called beam trip methodology which is applicable also to non-zero power systems. The results of this work constitute a part of the knowledge base for the definition of a validated online reactivity monitoring methodology for facilities currently being under development in Europe (XT-ADS and EFIT).
In support of an online reactivity monitoring experiment, also presented in this conference, this work presents the reactivity calibration measurements performed with a pulsed neutron source in the coupled fast-thermal subcritical facility YALINA-Booster. These experiments reveal the complexity of experimentally obtaining a global reactivity from a highly heterogeneous core. Moreover, the effect of varying the source multiplication at constant reactivity on the area ratio technique is explored. It is found that the reactivity obtained with the area ratio technique carry strong spatial dependence, but it can be handled by calculated correction factors. On the other hand the method is showed not to be sensitive to changes in the source multiplication. It is also shown that the prompt neutron decay constant does not vary strongly over the core except at deep subcritical states.
In addition to the pulsed neutron source measurements and the continuous source beam-trip and current-to-flux measurements performed in the YALINA-Booster facility, also presented in this conference, a set of neutron noise measurements has been performed to achieve a complete characterization of the core. The neutron noise measurements have been performed in three different configurations covering a subcriticality range from 0.85 to 0.977. The Rossi-α neutron noise technique has been applied to detector counts from two channels in the thermal part of the core. The Rossi-α results are compared to the experimental prompt neutron decay constants obtained from the pulsed neutron source measurements. A first approach fitting procedure reveals a need of three exponentials to describe the Rossi-α histograms. It has been found that at deep subcriticality, the fundamental mode decay may coincide with or be close to a higher eigenmode, thus making it difficult to determine the prompt neutron decay constant correctly.
Neutron noise measurements based on the Rossi-alpha and Feynman-alpha methodologies have been performed in a heterogeneous subcritical system. It is shown that the traditional single alpha-mode formulations of the Rossi-alpha and Feynman-alpha methods are not applicable due to the presence of higher alpha-modes. Formalisms taking into account multiple alpha-modes are applied resulting in satisfactory results. Three alpha-modes could be identified using the Rossi-alpha method, whereas only two could be obtained using the Feynman-alpha method. In the Feynman-alpha case, the possibility to obtain the fastest decaying alpha-mode was diminished due to detector dead time effects. It was found that the slowest decaying alpha-mode does not exactly correspond to the prompt decay found in pulsed neutron source measurements, which confirms the results of previous studies. Strengths and weaknesses of the multiple alpha-mode Rossi-alpha and Feynman-alpha methods observed in this study are pointed out.
The area ratio method of Sjostrand is generally considered one of the most reliable reactivity determination methods and thus is a major candidate for off-line calibration purposes in future accelerator-driven systems for high-level waste incineration. In this work, the Sjostrand area ratio method has been evaluated experimentally under thorough conditions in the strongly heterogeneous subcritical facility YALINA-Booster. Both strengths and weaknesses of the method have been identified. Most surprisingly, it has been found that the area ratio reactivity estimates may differ a factor of 2 depending on detector position. It is also shown that this strong spatial dependence can be explained based on a simple two-region point-kinetics model and corrected by means of correction factors obtained through Monte Carlo simulations. A new Monte Carlo correction method is proposed that includes, at the same time, the spatial disturbance and the effective delayed neutron fraction. In that way, the value of the effective multiplication factor is obtained from the measured dollar reactivity without the need of calculating the effective delayed neutron fraction explicitly, and thereby, the delayed neutron transport is performed only once. Further, it has been found that the Sjostrand area ratio method is not sensitive to perturbations of the source multiplication factor.
We have measured double differential cross sections (DDX) for emission of hydrogen- and helium-isotopes in the interaction of 175 MeV quasi-monoenergetic neutrons with Fe and Bi using the Medley setup at the The Svedberg Laboratory (Uppsala, Sweden). We compared experimental DDX with calculations with the TALYS code, which includes exciton model and Kalbach systematics; the code fails to reproduce the emission of complex light ions, generally overestimating it. We propose an correction for the application of the Kalbach phenomenological model in the TALYS code by introducing a new energy dependence for the nucleon transfer mechanism in the pre-equilibrium emission region. Our results suggest also evidence for multiple pre-equilibrium emission of composite particles at 175 MeV.
We have measured light-ion (p, d, t, He-3 and alpha) production in the interaction of 175 MeV neutrons with iron and bismuth with low-energy thresholds and for a wide angular range (from 20 degrees to 160 degrees, in steps of 20 degrees). Measurements have been performed with the Medley setup, semi-permanently installed at the The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala (Sweden), where a quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam is available and well characterized. Medley is a conventional spectrometer system and consists of eight telescopes, each of them composed of two silicon surface barrier detectors, to perform particle identification, and a CsI(Tl) scintillator to fully measure the kinetic energy of the produced light-ions. We report preliminary double-differential cross sections for production of protons, deuterons and tritons in comparison with model calculations using TALYS-1.0 code. These show better agreement for the production of protons, while the theoretical calculations seem to overestimate the experimental production of deuterons and tritons.
We have measured double-differential (angle and energy) cross sections for light-ion (p, d, t, (3)He, and a) production in the interaction of quasi-monoenergetic 175 MeV neutrons with iron and bismuth. Measurements have been performed at the The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala (Sweden), using the Medley setup which allows low-energy thresholds and wide energy and angular ranges. Medley is a spectrometer system consisting of eight three-element telescopes placed at angles from 20 degrees to 160 degrees, in steps of 20 degrees. Each telescope is composed of two silicon surface barrier detectors and a CsI(Tl) scintillator, to perform particle identification, fully stop the produced light-ions and measure their kinetic energy. The time-of-flight was used to reduce the contribution from the low energy tail in the accepted incident neutron spectrum. We report double-differential production cross sections for protons, deuterons, tritons, (3)He and alpha particles and compare them with model calculations with TALYS-1.2.
We have measured light-ion (p, d, t, 3He and α) production in the interaction of 175 MeV neutrons with iron and bismuth, using the MEDLEY setup. A large set of measurements at 96 MeV has been recently completed and published, and now higher energy region is under investigation. MEDLEY is a conventional spectrometer system that allows low-energy thresholds and offers measurements over a wide angular range. The system consists of eight telescopes, each of them composed of two silicon surface barrier detectors, to perform particle identification, and a CsI(Tl) scintillator to fully measure the kinetic energy of the produced light-ions. The telescopes are placed at angles from 20° to 160°, in steps of 20°. Measurements have been performed at The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala (Sweden), where a quasi mono-energetic neutron beam is available and well characterized. Time of flight techniques are used to select light-ion events induced by neutrons in the main peak of the source neutron spectrum. We report preliminary double differential cross sections for production of protons, deuterons and tritons in comparison with model calculations using TALYS-1.0 code.
We have upgraded the Medley spectrometer to measure neutron-induced double differential cross-sections for light-ion production, with neutron energies up to 175 MeV. Measurements were performed at the quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam line at the The Svedberg Laboratory, in Uppsala (Sweden). Medley is a spectrometer system composed of eight three-element telescope detectors; Delta E-E technique is used for particle identification and total kinetic energy measurement. We have improved particle separation and installed new detectors that fully stop ions with kinetic energy up to 170 MeV. To reduce the contribution of the low energy tail in the quasi-monoenergetic neutron spectrum, we have applied time-of-flight techniques and investigated the results for measurements with 175 MeV neutrons. We have investigated the response function of the CsI(Tl) scintillators and describe a method for efficiency correction. We have studied the signal-to-background ratio of the new configuration of the spectrometer and of the collimation system. A method to obtain absolute cross-section normalization, separating the peak neutrons from the low-energy tail, is proposed. Finally we have characterized the 175 MeV quasi-monoenergetic neutron spectrum with the Medley spectrometer. This upgraded configuration has been used in 2007 and 2009 for light-ion production measurements at 175 MeV from C, Si, O, Fe, Bi and U.
Under irradiation NiSiPCr clusters are formed in high-Cr ferritic martensitic steels as well as in FeCr model alloys. In the literature little is known about the origin and contribution to the hardening of these clusters. In this work we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the stability of small substitutional NiCr-vacancy clusters and interstitial configurations in bcc Fe. Based on DFT data and experimental considerations a ternary potential for the ferritic FeNiCr system was developed. The potential was applied to study the thermodynamic stability of NiCr clusters by means of Metropolis Monte Carlo (MMC) simulations. The results of our simulations show that Cr and Ni precipitate as separate fractions and suggest only a limited synergetic effect between Ni and Cr. Therefore our results suggest that the NiCrSiP clusters observed in experiments must be the result of other mechanisms than the synergy of Cr and Ni at thermal equilibrium.
In this work, we develop a rigid lattice cluster expansion as an ultimate goal to track the micro-structural evolution of Eurofer steel under neutron irradiation. The fact that all (defect) structures are mapped upon a rigid lattice allows a simplified computation and fitting procedure, thus enabling alloys of large chemical complexity to be modelled. As a first step towards the chemical complexity of Eurofer steels, we develop a cluster expansion (CE) for the FeCrW-vacancy system based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations in the dilute alloy limit. The DFT calculations suggest that only CrW clusters containing vacancies are stabilised. The cluster expansion was used to simulate thermal annealing in Fe–20Cr–xW alloys at 773 K. It is found that the addition of W to the alloy results in a non-linear decrease in the precipitation kinetics. The CE was found suitable to describe the energetics of the FeCrW-vacancy system in the Fe-rich limit.

This paper discusses system codes benchmarking activities on an ASTRID-like heterogeneous fast core under a representative design basis accident condition: the unprotected loss of flow accident (ULOF). The paper provides evidence that all the system codes used in this exercise are capable to simulate the transient behavior of heterogeneous SFR cores up to the initiation of sodium boiling. As a proof of this, a comparison of steady-state results and dynamic simulation results for a ULOF transient (simulated using system codes in combination with neutron point kinetics) are provided and discussed in this paper. The paper contains a brief description of the system codes (TRACE, CATHARE, SIM-SFR, SAS-SFR, ATHLET, SPECTRA, SAS4A) used by the participants (PSI, CEA, EDF, KIT, GRS, UPVLC, NRG, KTH), assumptions made during the simulations, as well as results obtained.
Reactivity monitoring is one of the urgent problems that require a solution in order to achieve a license for a future full-scale ADS. As a part of the EUROTRANS experiments at the YALINA-Booster facility, presented in this conference, a set of measurements with imposed beam-trips has been performed. Traditionally, the source jerk method has been used in subcritical systems to obtain the reactivity by comparing the total neutron flux before the neutron source removal to the semi-stable delayed neutron flux after the source removal. The deuterium-tritium neutron source of the YALINA-Booster facility can, in addition to pulsed mode operation, operate with continuous beam with short imposed millisecond-scale interruptions, thus providing the possibility to monitor the reactivity at each beam trip in the source jerk manner. In order to test the validity of the beam-trip reactivity values determined by using detectors operating in current-mode (also presented in this conference), the reactivity values of the YALINA-Booster assembly obtained through the beam-trip technique using pulsed-mode detectors is presented in this work. In these experiments, a beam-trip frequency of 1 Hz and an interruption time of ∼20 ms have been chosen and two different core loadings with effective multiplication factor around 0.95 have been investigated. These two different loadings with close to equal reactivity but different source multiplication characteristics make it possible to explore the effect of the different source multiplications. In addition, the response of the imposed beam-trip reactivity monitoring technique to reactivity insertions and removals has been studied through control rod movements. Experimental data from fission chambers have been acquired from all three zones of the core: the fast booster zone, the thermal zone and the reflector.
We significantly improve the physical models underlying atomistic Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, through the use of ab initio fitted high-dimensional neural network potentials (NNPs). In this way, we can incorporate energetics derived from density functional theory (DFT) in MC, and avoid using empirical potentials that are very challenging to design for complex alloys. We take significant steps forward from a recent work where artificial neural networks (ANNs), exclusively trained on DFT vacancy migration energies, were used to perform kinetic MC simulations of Cu precipitation in Fe. Here, a more extensive transfer of knowledge from DFT to our cohesive model is achieved via the fitting of NNPs, aimed at accurately mimicking the most important aspects of the ab initio predictions. Rigid-lattice potentials are designed to monitor the evolution during the simulation of the system energy, thus taking care of the thermodynamic aspects of the model. In addition, other ANNs are designed to evaluate the activation energies associated with the MC events (migration towards first-nearest-neighbor positions of single point defects), thereby providing an accurate kinetic modeling. Because our methodology inherently requires the calculation of a substantial amount of reference data, we design as well lattice-free potentials, aimed at replacing the very costly DFT method with an approximate, yet accurate and considerably more computationally efficient, potential. The binary FeCu and FeCr alloys are taken as sample applications considering the extensive literature covering these systems.
Machine learning, and more specifically artificial neural networks (ANN), are powerful and flexible numerical tools that can lead to significant improvements in many materials modelling techniques. This paper provides a review of the efforts made so far to describe the effects of irradiation in Fe-based and W-based alloys, in a multiscale modelling framework. ANN were successfully used as innovative parametrization tools in these models, thereby greatly enhancing their physical accuracy and capability to accomplish increasingly challenging goals. In the provided examples, the main goal of ANN is to predict how the chemical complexity of local atomic configurations, and/or specific strain fields, influence the activation energy of selected thermally-activated events. This is most often a more efficient approach with respect to previous computationally heavy methods. In a future perspective, similar schemes can be potentially used to calculate other quantities than activation energies. They can thus transfer atomic-scale properties to higher-scale simulations, providing a proper bridging across scales, and hence contributing to the achievement of accurate and reliable multiscale models.
Irradiation induced void swelling is problematic for the application of austenitic steels under high dose irradiation. In this thesis, the swelling is characterized by dislocation bias. The dislocation bias is obtained using the finite element method, accounting for fcc copper and nickel under electron irradiation. The methodology is implemented with the interaction energies between an edge dislocation and point defects. Analytically derived interaction energies, which are based on elasticity theory, are compared with interaction energies obtained from atomistic model using semi-empirical atomic potentials as physics basis. The comparison shows that the description of analytical interaction energies is inaccurate in the dislocation core regions. The bias factor dependence on dislocation density and temperature is presented and discussed. At high temperatures or low dislocation densities, the two approaches tend to converge. However, the dislocation bias based on the interaction energies from the two approaches, reveals larger discrepancy for nickel than for copper. The impact on dislocation bias from the different stacking fault energies of copper and nickel is elaborated. Nickel, which has a larger stacking fault energy, is predicted to have larger swelling rate than copper under the same irradiation conditions.
A multiscale modelling framework and an experiment campaign are used to study void swelling and Cu precipitation under irradiation. Several aspects regarding defect and solute diffusion under irradiation have been studied in this thesis.
First, a self-diffusion model in bcc Fe has been constructed in order to describe the non-linear effects, especially the magnetic transition, around the Curie temperature. First principles calculations are applied to obtain the parameters in the model. The paramagnetic state is simulated by statistical sampling of randomly arranged spin states on each atom. The model fits well with the experimental observations.
Then, a combination of atomistic calculations and the finite element method (FEM) is developed in order to solve the diffusion equations of point defects, which are under the influence of a dislocation strain field. The dislocation bias, a key parameter in void swelling models, is hence obtained numerically. The method has been applied in different structural lattices. In the bcc materials, anomalous bias factors have been found for both edge- and screw dislocations. For the edge dislocations, the traditional assumption that the dislocation bias value is proportional to the Burgers vector has been proven not appropriate. For the screw dislocation, a negative bias value is obtained. This implies that vacancies, instead of self-interstitials, are preferentially absorbed into the screw dislocations. Thus a possible complementary mechanism is here introduced for explaining the long swelling incubation time before the steady swelling in bcc materials compared to that in fcc materials.
Edge dislocations in fcc materials split into partial dislocations due to their relatively low stacking fault energy. This feature complicates the analytical derivation of the dislocation bias. However, by transforming the analytical dislocation-point defect interaction energies to discrete interaction maps numerically applied in the FEM method, it is possible to perform a systematic study on typical fcc materials, i.e. Cu, Ni and Al. The impacts on the dislocation bias from elastic constants and stacking fault energy have been studied. It is found that the partial splitting distance is the dominating factor that determines the dislocation bias. A prediction method has been hence developed to obtain the dislocation bias of the austenitic alloys, for which it is difficult to use an atomistic description of the interaction maps. A prediction of about 8% dislocation bias of a typical austenitic 316 alloy has been made without performing specific atomistic calculations in the austenitic alloys.
Finally, Cu precipitation under irradiation has been studied using both experiment and simulations. Cast iron and FeCu alloy samples were irradiated for a week with 2 MeV electrons. The resistivity of the samples was measured in situ. The microstructure of the samples was then examined by atom probe tomography. No Cu precipitation was found in the cast iron sample while small Cu clusters are observed in the FeCu model alloy. To simulate the clustering process, Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) and rate theory methods are used. Both the KMC and rate theory simulations show clearly the Cu clustering process in the FeCu alloy but not in cast iron within the irradiation dose.
In order to improve the dislocation bias (DB) model of swelling under irradiation, a large scale of atomistic simulation of the interaction in face centered cubic (FCC) Cu model lattice between an edge dislocation (ED) and point defects such as a vacancy, a self-interstital atom (SIA) have been performed for various configurations. It is found dislocation core splits into partial cores after energy relaxation. Interactions with any SIA conficurations is one order of magnitute larger than with a vacancy. The reason that SIA creats a larger dilatation volumn than the vacancy is directly observed from calculation. Furthurmore, within the interaction range, an octahedron position rather than dumbbell in <100> direction is observed in the stable state after relaxation in interactions between a edge dislocation and a dumbbell SIA. Comparision of interaction energy in analytical and atomistic calculation shows that analytical one has a stronger interaction in vacancy-ED systems, suggesting that the bias factor (BF) from analytical calculation is larger than from atomistic calculation.
In order to gain more insights on void swelling, dislocation bias is studied in this work. Molecular staticsimulations with empirical potentials are applied to map the dislocation–point defects interactionenergies in both fcc Ni and bcc Fe model lattices. The interaction energies are then used to numericallysolve the diffusion equation and obtain the dislocation bias. The importance of the dislocation core regionis studied under a the temperature range 573–1173 K and the dislocation densities 1012—1015 m-2. Theresults show that larger dislocation bias is found in the fcc Ni than in the bcc Fe under differenttemperatures and dislocation densities. The anisotropic interaction energy model is used to obtain thedislocation bias and the result is compared to that obtained using the atomistic interaction model, thecontribution from the core structure is then shown in both the Ni lattice and the Fe lattice.
Atomistic calculations were employed in order to calculate the interaction energy of an edge dislocation with different point defects. The bias factor was calculated by applying a finite element method on the interaction energy landscapes obtained from the atomistic calculations. A comparison of the calculated bias factor with a model based on elasticity theory reveals around 30% discrepancy under conditions representative for electron irradiation at 600 degrees C. Possible reasons are discussed. The bias factor dependence on dislocation density and ambient temperature is presented and discussed.
A systematic study of dislocation bias has been performed using a method that combines atomistic and elastic dislocation-point defect interaction models with a numerical solution of the diffusion equation with a drift term. Copper, nickel and aluminium model lattices are used in this study, covering a wide range of shear moduli and stacking fault energies. It is found that the dominant parameter for the dislocation bias in fcc metals is the width of the stacking fault ribbon. The variation in elastic constants does not strongly impact the dislocation bias value. As a result of this analysis and its extrapolation, the dislocation bias of the widely applied austenitic stainless steels of 316 type is predicted to be about 0.1 at temperature close to the swelling peak (815 K) and typical dislocation density of 1014 m-2. This is in line with the bias calculated using the elastic interaction model, which implies that the prediction method can be used readily in other fcc systems even without EAM potentials. By comparing the bias values obtained using atomistic- and elastic interaction energies, about 20% discrepancy is found, therefore a more realistic bias value for the 316 type alloy is 0.08 in these conditions.
Dislocation bias factors in bcc Fe have been calculated based on atomistic interaction energy maps on three kinds of dislocations, namely the a0/2〈1 1 1〉{1 1 0} screw, a0/2〈1 1 1〉{1 1 0} and a0〈1 0 0〉{0 0 1} edge dislocations. The results show that the dislocation bias is higher for the a0/2〈1 1 1〉 edge dislocation than for the a0〈1 0 0〉 edge dislocation, even though the latter possesses a larger Burgers vector. This indicates the importance of the dislocation core contribution. For the a0/2〈1 1 1〉{1 1 0} screw dislocation, a negative dislocation bias has been obtained, which implies a more efficient absorption of vacancies than of SIAs. The effect of coexistence of both edge- and screw dislocations are assessed by a total bias. A possible complementary mechanism for explaining the long swelling incubation time in bcc metals is suggested and discussed.
This work presents a revised set of parameters to be used in an Object kinetic Monte Carlo model to simulate the microstructure evolution under neutron irradiation of reactor pressure vessel steels at the operational temperature of light water reactors (∼300 °C). Within a "grey-alloy" approach, a more physical description than in a previous work is used to translate the effect of Mn and Ni solute atoms on the defect cluster diffusivity reduction. The slowing down of self-interstitial clusters, due to the interaction between solutes and crowdions in Fe is now parameterized using binding energies from the latest DFT calculations and the solute concentration in the matrix from atom-probe experiments. The mobility of vacancy clusters in the presence of Mn and Ni solute atoms was also modified on the basis of recent DFT results, thereby removing some previous approximations. The same set of parameters was seen to predict the correct microstructure evolution for two different types of alloys, under very different irradiation conditions: an Fe-C-MnNi model alloy, neutron irradiated at a relatively high flux, and a high-Mn, high-Ni RPV steel from the Swedish Ringhals reactor surveillance program. In both cases, the predicted self-interstitial loop density matches the experimental solute cluster density, further corroborating the surmise that the MnNi-rich nanofeatures form by solute enrichment of immobilized small interstitial loops, which are invisible to the electron microscope.
Nitride fuels have always been considered a good candidate for GENIV reactors, as well as space reactors, due to their high fissile density, highthermal conductivity and high melting point. In these concepts, not beingcompatible with water is not a significant problem. However, in recent years,nitride fuels started to raise an interest for application in thermal reactors,as accident tolerant or high performance fuels. However, oxide fuels havebenefited from decades of intensive research, and thousands of reactor-years.As such, a large effort has to be made on qualifying the fuel and developingtools to help assess their performances.In this thesis, the modeling side of this task is chosen. The effort istwo-fold: determining fundamental properties using atomistic models andputting together all the properties to predict the performances under irradi-ation using a fuel performance code. The first part is done combining manyframeworks. The density functional theory is the basis to compute the elec-tronic structure of the materials, to which a Hubbard correction is added tohandle the strong correlation effects. Negative side effects of the Hubbardcorrection are tackled using the so-called occupation matrix control method.This combined framework is first tested, and then used to find electronic andmechanic properties of the bulk material as well as the thermomechanicalbehavior of foreign atoms. Then, another method, the self-consistent meanfield (SCMF) one, is used to reach the dynamics properties of these foreignatoms. In the SCMF theory, the data that were obtained performing the abinitio simulations are treated to provide diffusion and kinetic flux couplingproperties.In the second step of the work, the fuel performance code TRANSURA-NUS is used to model complete fuel pins. An athermal fission gas releasemodel based on the open porosity is developed and tested on oxide fuels.A model for nitride fuels is introduced, and some correlations are bench-marked. Major issues remaining are pointed out and recommendations asto how to solve them are made.
Nitride fuels have gained a new interest in the last few years as both a candidate for GEN IV reactors and as accident tolerant fuels for current light water reactors. They however are decades behind oxide fuels when it comes to qualication and development of tools to assess their performances. In this thesis, such a tool is developed. The fuel performance codeTRANSURANUS, which has very good results with oxide fuels, is extended to handle nitride fuels. The relevant thermo-mechanical properties are implemented and fuel type dependent modules are updated. Their limitations and discrepancies are discussed. A particular attention is brought to the athermal ssion gas release, and a new model based on the open fabrication porosity is developed and added to the code, as a starting point toward a mechanistic model. It works well on oxide fuels, but its eciency is harder to evaluate for nitride fuels, due to large uncertainties on many key correlations such as the thermal conductivity and the eective diusion coecient of gas atoms. Recommendations are made to solve the most important problems.
Uranium mononitride is studied in the DFT + U framework. Its ground state is investigated and a study of the incorporation of diverse fission products in the crystal is conducted. The U-ramping and occupation matrix control (OMC) schemes are used to eliminate metastable states. Beyond a certain amount of introduced correlation, the OMC scheme starts to find a lower total energy. The OMC scheme is chosen for the second part of this study. Furthermore, the influence of the magnetic ordering is studied using the U-ramping method, showing that antiferromagnetic order is the most stable one when the U parameter is larger than 1.75 eV. The effect on the density of states is investigated and elastic constants are provided for comparison with other methods and experiments. The incorporation energies of fission products in different defect configurations are calculated and these energies are corrected to take into account the limited size of the supercell.
In the present work, the ab initio parametrization necessary for a Monte Carlo study of the (Y, Ti, O) clusters in a FeCr matrix is done. The cohesive, binding and migration energies of all the solutes have been calculated in the dilute limit in the framework of density functional theory. The special case of the strong interaction between an Y atom and a vacancy has been considered. In the dilute limit, Cr is transparent with respect to Y, Ti, O or vacancies. On the contrary, Y binds O strongly in 2NN configuration while not in 1NN. Ti binds O in 1NN and 2NN configurations. A vacancy binds strongly with Y and O in 1NN position which is resulting in a low diffusion coefficient for Y. The peculiar case of the binding attraction between two interstitial oxygen atoms has been studied and is believed to be the main reason for the planar (2D) symmetry of the cluster nuclei. A preferential cluster shape is determined for the early nucleation stage, up to 12 atoms.
Uranium nitride (UN) is a candidate fuel for current GEN III fission reactors, for which it is investigated as an accident-tolerant fuel, as well as for future GEN IV reactors. In this study, we investigate the kinetic properties of gas fission products (Xe and Kr) in UN. Binding and migration energies are obtained using density functional theory, with an added Hubbard correlation to model f electrons, and the occupation matrix control scheme to avoid metastable states. These energies are then used as input for the self-consistent mean field method which enables to determine transport coefficients for vacancy-mediated diffusion of Xe and Kr on the U sublattice. The magnetic ordering of the UN structure is explicitly taken into account, for both energetic and transport properties. Solute diffusivities are compared with experimental measurements and the effect of various parameters on the theoretical model is carefully investigated. We find that kinetic correlations are very strong in this system, and that despite atomic migration anisotropy, macroscopic solute diffusivities show limited anisotropy. Our model indicates that the discrepancy between experimental measurements probably results from different irradiation conditions, and hence different defect concentrations.
A model is proposed for fission product release in oxide fuels that takes into account the open porosity in a mechanistic manner. Its mathematical framework, assumptions and limitations are presented. It is based on the model for open porosity in the sintering process of crystalline solids. More precisely, a grain is represented by a tetrakaidecahedron and the open porosity is represented by a continuous cylinder along the grain edges. It has been integrated in the TRANSURANUS fuel performance code and applied to the first case of the first FUMEX project as well as to neptunium and americium containing pins irradiated during the SUPERFACT experiment and in the JOYO reactor. The results for LWR and FBR fuels are consistent with the experimental data and the predictions of previous empirical models when the thermal mechanisms are the main drivers of the release, even without using a fitting parameter. They also show a different but somewhat expected behaviour when very high porosity fuels are irradiated at a very low burn-up and at low temperature.
The first step towards the understanding and the modelling of the Fe-Cr alloy kinetic properties consists in estimating the migration energies related to the processes that drive the microstructure evolution. The vacancy's migration barrier is expected to depend on the vacancy-migrating atom pair atomic environment as pointed out by Nguyen-Manh et al. or Bonny et al. In this paper, we address the issue of the dependence on the vacancy's local atomic environment of both the vacancy migration energy and the configurational energy change Delta E that occurs when the vacancy jumps towards one of its nearest neighbour sites. A DFT approach is used to determine the ground state energy associated to a given configuration of the system. The results are interpreted in the light of the chromium-chromium and chromium-vacancy binding energies as well as the substitutional chromium atoms magnetic properties.

College StartsJanuary 06, 2010
This picture was taken the night before the wedding dinner..
Liki and Evon
It's the third semester of my college already..I'm graduating in June 2010..so fast hor? but other pre-u course even faster..haha!3 people dropped further mathematics today – Elyse,Hui Ling and Mukand..
I feel like dropping because I am felt so far behind everyone else..Even if I'm hardworking enough,I have not enough time to prepare for further mathematics! I've joined too many events last year and my schedule is too tight! I'm very confuse whether to dropped or not..
I've talked to my mom and she asked me to drop because she said I look very suffering and why do I torture myself for a subject that I won't be needing at all? By the way,if you guys are wondering,yes I'm going for Nutritionist..don't ask how I started taking up further mathematics..
Anyway,I shall wait till my AS result and then decide..to continue further mathematics or not..meantime,I'll just live with it..
Hippy have to wait for me till I finish college to play with him
Oh yeah,I received Nuffnang Cheque yesterday..YAY! Thanks Nuffnang!^^

Tomato blight, properly called late blight disease, can kill a plant within a week. It's the same fungus that causes potato blight, so if you find blight on your spuds, it's extremely likely it will appear on your tomatoes, particularly those that are grown outdoors.
Spread by airborne spores that can be carried over 30 miles on the wind, blight is most prevalent when conditions are warm and wet. Infection needn't be inevitable, however, if you take steps to avoid the disease. Before the growing season starts, begin by choosing seed of resilient varieties, then follow our tips on growing and watering tomatoes to boost the chance of a healthy harvest.
Cherry tomatoes tend to be less likely to catch blight than beefsteaks, because they ripen earlier and are often harvested before blight hits. In addition, some varieties have been bred with a degree of blight tolerance – they may still catch the disease, but are able to survive and yield some healthy fruit.
We've picked a bumper crop of varieties to help you on the road to blight-free tomatoes…
This unusual cordon variety produces strawberry-shaped, cherry tomatoes that have a super-sweet flavour. It's early to ripen, and shows some resistance to blight.
A blight-tolerant cordon tomato, reliable, and resistant to fusarium and verticillium wilt. It produces a heavy crop of medium-sized, deep red fruit with an excellent flavour.
'Fantasio' F1
A superbly flavoured cordon variety, bearing a prolific crop of medium-sized fruit. Blight tolerant and resistant to fusarium and verticillium wilt, it's best grown under glass.
'Ferline' F1
This cordon variety has some blight tolerance, and resistance to fusarium and verticillium wilt. 'Ferline' bears heavy crops of tasty, medium-sized fruit.
Bush variety 'Latah' produces very early, large, cherry tomatoes, with excellent flavour. Its sprawling habit and well-spaced leaves help fruits ripen before blight strikes.
Bush variety 'Legend' holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit and has some blight tolerance. A beefsteak variety with heavy crops of large, it produces almost seedless fruit with superb flavour.
'Lizzano' F1
A vigorous variety with lots of sweet, round cherry fruits and a trailing habit, 'Lizzano' is perfect for pots and hanging baskets. It also has good blight tolerance.
'Losetto' F1
This very blight-tolerant variety produces masses of bright red, sweet cherry tomatoes. 'Losetto' is ideal for growing in pots.
'Red Alert'
Bush tomato 'Red Alert' bears a lot of small, sweet, cherry tomatoes. Its sparse leaves reduce humidity and fruits ripen very early, so are often harvested before blight strikes.

During this transition time, these activities have helped me greatly:
10. Run Toward Love. After I was fired, I drove out to my parents' home where they served me pot roast and just let me cry, tell my story multiple times, and love me.
9. Take Someone with You. If you still have to clear out your classroom or cubicle, take a loving person with you to finish off the job of clearing out your things. My Mom accompanied me; it helped to have a cheerleader.
8. Unpack Your Boxes and Reorganize Your Life. I let the boxes from work sit there for a week, then I tackled the project of finding spots for all those books. Just face into the boxes and start creating new life rhythms by putting your favorite work objects around your home.
7. Connect with Loving Co-workers, if possible. I communicated with several people at my old job about what happened, and it surprised me how compassionate they were! Several wrote me emails and cards full of truth and encouragement. One former co-worker brought chocolate and came over to talk; it was hard, but helpful to hear her opinion. Multiple people encouraged me to not let this situation jade me toward teaching, and told me "You ARE a good teacher." Their words helped pull the poison out of the wound the job loss had afflicted. Because that co-worker had more objective viewpoint right then, she helped me know what I could say about the job loss. I'm so thankful for her coaching.
6. Go Away for a Few Days. Yes, file for unemployment as soon as possible, but you just need time away for a bit to let down so that you can heal. I visited my brother and his family the week after my job ended, and it was there, surrounded by love that I had the strength to file for unemployment. Filing and retelling the story was hard and very humbling, but it helped me process the trauma. Hugs from my one-year-old nephew, and then an invitation from my sister-in-law to stay for four days instead of one was healing balm. My mind could let down, forget what happened for a while, and just rest, play, and love.
5. Create a New Life Structure. Get up early on work days. Apply for jobs, go network, and let job hunting be your new "work." Have hope; you will get another job.
4. Exercise. I planned exercise into my day because it relieved stress, and brought me joy! Go run by the lake or plan to go dancing.
3. Maximize Your Networks. Yes, sign up and use networking and job hunting sites, but also connect with people in person. I went to my grad school's career office, and they loaned me career books (a great one is The Career Guide for Creative and Unconventional People by Carol Eikleberry), critiqued my resume, and supported me in thinking about different career choices. They helped me know it's fine to try something different, like floral design…
2. Do What You Love and Feel Your Feelings. I read, I sang, I cooked. I took floral design classes, and I started writing a book. I cried, felt sad, shouted with anger, ached with loss, and chose to forgive. Then a tutoring job came!
1. Believe and Know That You Are Loved Just As You Are. Yes, sudden job loss wounds your heart and your confidence. Yes, you need time to heal, but while you are healing, just know that there is a plan for you designed by the Great Creator. Know that you are loved. You are not your job; you are of full value just as you are.

Yogi, Whenever I'm At Bat, I'm in Scoring Position
We lost a great one today. Oscar Gamble was scouted by Buck O'Neil, who found him playing for a semi-pro team outside Montgomery, Alabama. O'Neil wrote in his book that Gamble was the best prospect he'd scouted since Ernie Banks.
The Cubs took Buck's advice and drafted Gamble in the 16th Round. He tore through the minor leagues, but it took several years for him to find a footing in the big leagues.
His first stint in New York was viewed by some as a disappointment, but he did prove that his swing was well suited to Yankee Stadium's dimensions. He would return later to help propel the Yankees to the 1981 World Series.
His best season came in 1977 for the Chicago White Sox, in which he crushed 31 homers for the South Siders. He finished his career in Chicago in 1985, with exactly 200 homers. It may not seem like much, but Oscar took full advantage of the opportunities he was given. For his career, he homered once every 22.5 at bats, a rate that ranks right up there with sluggers like Freddie Freeman, Eddie Murray, and just a little behind Frank Thomas (the original one).

'Prima Belladonna' by JG Ballard
This is Ballard's first published story (1956, I believe, although it is listed as 1957 here) and, though I've read it before, it was still something of a shock since I am now more used to his later work. Although some of the tropes are already there – middle class professionals idling away time in hermetic resorts – the writing, particularly the dialogue, is much more slangy and snappy than we might expect, the vibe is the decadent boredom of Burroughs in Mexico. In essence this is Ballard before he became fixated on the Sixities and, unlike almost everything else he has written, it reads like the work of a young man.
As a bonus, here is a short film inspired by the story which I found on YouTube whilst looking for online criticism:
Quality: ****
Hardness: *
Somewhat predictably, this has Hartwell's longest, most rambling and spurious introduction so far.

(Adds other moves against the opposition, context)
By Daniel Wallis and Esteban Israel
CARACAS, March 19 (Reuters) - Venezuelan intelligence agents arrested the opposition mayor of San Cristobal on Wednesday for "civil rebellion," accusing him of stoking violence in the city hit harder than anywhere by more than a month of unrest.
Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres, who also heads the national intelligence service Sebin, told state TV that Sebin agents detained Daniel Ceballos while acting on an order from a court in western Tachira state.
"This is an act of justice for a mayor who not only failed to meet his obligations under the law, but also facilitated and supported all the irrational violence in this city," he said.
"In the coming hours he will be presented before the corresponding tribunals to begin the judgment process."
A man identifying himself as an aide to the mayor said via his Twitter account, @Daniel_Ceballos, that he was arrested in Caracas. According to a post on his Facebook page earlier, Ceballos was in the capital for a meeting of opposition mayors.
San Cristobal, home to some 250,000 people in Tachira near the Colombian border, has been the focus of the most sustained fights between demonstrators barricading roads, pro-government radicals, and the security forces.
Torres said a member of the National Guard was shot dead in the city on Wednesday during what he called "vandalistic acts" by protesters targeting a national armed forces university.
Earlier, prosecutors said a Caracas municipal worker was killed by multiple gunshots late on Tuesday as he and others dismantled a street barrier set up by opposition demonstrators.
On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered the opposition mayors of four municipalities, including San Cristobal, to remove street barricades rigged up by protesters.
At least 31 people have died since Feb. 12 when three people were shot dead in clashes after an opposition rally in Caracas.
The protesters are demanding socialist President Nicolas Maduro resign, while he says his foes want to create chaos and trigger a coup, like the one 12 years ago that briefly ousted his predecessor and mentor, the late Hugo Chavez.
Pro-opposition students said they planned to march in the capital on Thursday to demand Ceballos' release, in what will be the latest of daily rallies by both sides around the politically polarized country.
The move against the San Cristobal mayor comes a day after the ruling Socialist Party-dominated Congress voted to ask the state prosecutor to investigate an opposition deputy for crimes including treason in relation to the protests.
Maria Corina Machado, a 46-year-old engineer, has been one of the most visible leaders of the demonstrations.
The move by "Chavista" legislators, which seeks eventually to strip her of her parliamentary immunity, followed the arrest a month ago of hardline opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez.
Along with Machado, Lopez launched a national movement at the start of the year under the banner "The Exit," meaning an end to 15 years of socialist rule. It has seen peaceful marches as well as melees between hooded demonstrators and riot police.
Lopez handed himself in to face charges of fomenting the unrest. A senior colleague from his Popular Will party is on the run after being accused in connection with the violence.
They have called on supporters to stay in the streets to keep protesting against high inflation, shortages of basic foods, and one of the worst rates of violent crime in the world.
The protesters are far fewer than those who took to the streets in 2002 to topple Chavez, albeit briefly, and opposition leaders are deeply divided over the current confrontations. (Editing by Lisa Shumaker)

Is it still peach season?? I need a seasonal food calendar. I'm sure these things exist; I'm just not organized enough to check them.
When I first started blogging, I'd look ahead of time for the food holidays and would plan blogs around them. I actually blogged about chocolate chip cookies on National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Yeah, my pre-planning skills aren't too stellar anymore…
But, I know that I had peaches just a couple of weeks ago and they were still delicious!
Peaches & Cream Bundt Cake
Recipe from Everyday Food
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 peaches, peeled and diced small
2 1/4 cups sugar, divided
6 eggs, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a non-stick Bundt pan; set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Toss peaches with 2 tablespoons flour to coat.
In another bowl, beat together 2 sticks of butter and 2 cups of sugar on medium-high until fluffy. One at a time, beat in eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. On low, add in 1/2 of the flour mixture, then add in 1/2 of the sour cream. Add in 2nd halves of the flour and sour cream. Beat until combined.
Fold in the peaches and vanilla extract. Transfer batter to the Bundt pan. Tap the pan on counter several times to smooth out and remove air bubbles. Bake for 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack.
While cake is cooling, melt 1 stick of butter. Combine melted butter with 1/4 cup of sugar and ground cinnamon. Using a small knife, slowly loosen the cake from around the Bundt pan edges. Invert the pan onto serving plate. Brush cake with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
You can serve plain, with ice cream, with whipped cream, or with more sliced peaches…the world is your peach.

Csaba Sógor: The EP finally talks about national minorities13.12.2016 | protection of minority rights , European Union
- Font
- Send on e-mail
The most recent, 2015 European Union report on the situation of fundamental rights finally has a chapter dedicated to the rights of minorities. In the opinion of Csaba Sógor the European Union was long overdue to consider facts regarding national minorities living within the EU borders. MEPs debated and voted on the report on Monday, December 13th, during the European Parliament's Strasbourg plenary session.
Rapporteur József Nagy, Hungarian MEP from Slovakia, was joined in the work of elaborating and amending the segment of the document regarding minorities by many of his colleagues, including Kinga Gál from Hungary, Pál Csáky from Slovakia, and Csaba Sógor from Romania.
"Albeit compromises were made, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) has accepted our amendment proposals. One might say the many years of labour have finally proved to have been fruitful. An increasing amount of people are starting to realise that the European Union has to have an answer for its 50 million citizens belonging to a national minority. The EU has to convince them that it monitors their situation" – stated Csaba Sógor. The Hungarian MEP from Romania expressed during the plenary session debate his sincere hope that by the adoption of this report the European Commission can be urged to pay attention to the problems of national minorities and to have a proactive attitude towards them.
In the opinion of the RMDSZ MEP it is crucial, that the EU document finally states a need for setting minimum standards that ought to be met in order to solve the problems of national minorities. In his opinion it is equally as important that the document states a need to promote equality for these communities in all aspects of life: economic, social, political and cultural equality. The report urges the Commission to elaborate normative standards in the interest of protecting minority rights, as protecting these groups is part of the Copenhagen Criteria, a set of standards that member states need to meet if they want to join the EU.

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" glass pie plate well with cooking spray, including up the sides. Set aside; also grease one cookie sheet- you'll see why.
In mixing bowl, cream butter until light; add egg and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and blend until a dough forms.
Now here's the funny part- (for me anyway) take out enough dough to make four or five cookies- 1" balls each. Roll in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar- about 1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon. Arrange two inches apart on greased baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. Cool, then eat while you make the rest of the pie! (sorry, I had too much dough for the pie plate and needed to reduce it by just a little- and didn't want to waste any!!)
Now, with the rest of the dough, pat into the greased pie plate, on the bottom and up the
rim. Prick all over with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until dry but not
really browned. Cool.
Pour filling into cooled Snickerdoodle crust. Sprinkle the whole top with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Check after 30 minutes- you don't want it over-baked. Lay a piece of foil over the top if the crust edge is browning too much before the filling is done.

The role of state party chairman has evolved over the past 20 years into more than that of a symbolic figurehead rallying the party faithful. The growing partisan divide coupled with the diminishing need for a strong centralized state party and the rise of super PACs via Citizens United has forced state parties to play more active roles in what used to be neutralized party primaries.
The Mississippi senate race is shaping up to be the last stand for the Tea Party and they're not going down without a fight. Republicans are split between longtime Sen. Thad Cochran and Tea Party darling and state senator, Chris McDaniel. Quiet as it's been kept there is also a primary on the Democratic side between former congressman Travis Childers and former Republican congressional candidate Bill Marcy.
Depending on whose polling you look at the race is either Cochran's, McDaniels' or Childers' to loose. Thus, herein lies the problem.
Clearly the MSGOP is scared to death of McDaniel becoming the Republican nominee because of the likelihood it creates a path to victory for the preferred Democratic nominee. In the age of Todd Akin and Richard Murdock, a Chris McDaniel win would automatically put Mississippi into the toss up column and give national and state Democrats an opportunity that otherwise would be nonexistent.
Over on Congress Street, a similar dynamic is playing out. Some party faithful sought unsuccessfully to block Republican Bill Marcy from being certified to run as a Democrat for the US Senate but a vote by the party's elections subcommittee thwarted that. Many Democrats, including Chairman Rickey Cole, make no qualms about who the Democratic nominee should and will be. Congressman Childers recently spoke before a gathering of the party's executive committee in addition to the recent Young Democrats of Mississippi convention held last weekend in Rankin County.
While many Democrats are unhappy with Childers over votes he took as a northeast Mississippi congressman, he remains the party's best shot against the eventual GOP nominee. Nosef made waves recently when he asked Chris McDaniel to clarify his affiliation with Pace Confederate Depot. PCD identifies itself as a dealer in Confederate, Tea Party, and White Pride Merchandise and is located in Baldwyn, Mississippi. This and the reference on MSNBC's Chris Matthews show last week has led the Mississippi Tea Party to call for Nosef's immediate resignation.
In a press release, MS Tea Party President, Laura van Overshelde, said the following "The MS Tea Party also calls on Joe Nosef to rescind his comments on the Paul Gallo Show last week in which he insinuated that Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Mississippi Chris McDaniel might cost the GOP a senate seat in the general election. It is inappropriate for Nosef to make such claims given his role as Chairman of the MS GOP. Accordingly, Joe Nosef should resign from his position as Chairman of the MS GOP effective immediately."
Nosef responded saying "Anyone who has paid close attention to our US senate primary knows that I've not only stayed neutral with regard to the candidates but also worked relentlessly against efforts to divide our party."
Cole, seems to be a better cat herder than Nosef. To date, he has seemingly coalesced the varying Democratic Party factions behind Travis Childers. A master orator, Cole has silenced critics, squashed detractors and forced the "armchair quarterbacks" to put up or shut up. Childers will undoubtedly be the Democratic nominee and will have the full weight of the state Democratic Party machine behind him, as he does now. In the 4th congressional district, the political epicenter of the 2014 cycle, Chairman Renick Taylor sounded a very optimistic tone. "I think we're going to have an active and robust primary and I don't think we will have a runoff". Renick went on to say "A heavy turnout in the Democratic primary will be seen as a sign of strength by the DSCC and will bring resources into the state for our candidates".
A telling sign will be the first quarter FEC reports that are due out today. Only Sen. Thad Cochran has released his totals raising a whopping $1.7 million dollars during the quarter. McDaniel, Childers and Marcy have yet to release their numbers.

I shared this on fb thought all of you may enjoy this as well:
I can't take credit for this. We found it on the wall of the restroom at our new favorite bakery..... Cupcake Girls
God's Cake
A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong.
She's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her, and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack. The daughter looks at her mother and say, "You know it, Mom! I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her mother offers.
"Yuck," says her daughter.
"How about a couple of raw eggs?" the mother asks.
"Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all nasty!"
At this point, the mother says to her daughter something that puts things in perspective:
"Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!"God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through bad or difficult times. God knows that when He puts these things — our life, the universe, or anything at all — in the order He knows is best, things always work for our good! We just have to trust Him, knowing that things will turn out fine.
When we're going through troubled times, sometimes it seems to be an eternity before things get better, but when we're in the middle of the fire — when things are at their absolute worst, we must simply know, in our heart, that God is there, totally in control of the situation (if we allow Him), and is working all things out for our good. When we try to keep things in our control, well, that's when we knock things off-kilter with God's plans for our lives. At that point, you see, God will have to work His plans for our life in a different way — and when He has to do that, sometimes the consequences of our actions have to play out, as severe as they may be — but in the end, His plan still comes shining through.
God really is focused on us — the creatures He calls people. We are supposedly civilized. If you stop and look around, many of the things we do to each other are anything but civil, but what's He do for us every day? He sends us flowers every spring, a sunrise every morning, and birds to sing and serenade us each and every day.
Whenever you want to talk, He's ready to listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, yet He chose your heart.

My thoughts
As you head out into the world today — no matter if it is morning, noon, or night — reflect of this story and try to understand how life really can be a piece of cake.

Whale Rider was the first piece completed for the exhibition and the initial concept of combining glass and jade, as well as testing the compatibility and possibility of the two mediums. Of course, the fact that both cultures share stories of their supernatural heroes being transported on the back of a whale was an obvious starting point to look at mutual shapes, objects, shared stories and histories that could trigger the drawing and shaping of pieces in this exhibition.
Preston Singletary
Maori history has ancestors who came from the sea riding on the back of a whale. The bond between man and the whale was so strong at times that they were considered one being. The collaboration with Preston in a way is much like the whale rider, taking two people, two ideas and two cultures intertwining the forms and design to create a body of works with one spirit, the spirit of the Pacific.
Lewis Gardiner
Collaboration for the Fire & Water: Pacific Visions in Glass and Jade exhibition, 2007.
Collaborations between great artists are historically rare, despite frequent attempts and enthusiastic interest to bring technical skills and artistic chemistry together. In the end, it often seems that personal careers, distance, and other issues make these projects too difficult to realize. What makes this particular collaboration even more remarkable is that the two artists are geographically in different hemispheres — almost at polar opposites of the world.
