Abstract: A high-pressure turbine nozzle-vane band for a gas turbine engine. The band includes an inside surface supporting at least one guide vane having a trailing edge that is directed towards a downstream end of the band, and an outside surface, opposite the inside surface, from which a flange extends radially, defining firstly, upstream from the flange, a passage for cooling-air, and secondly, downstream from the flange, a cavity. The inside surface of the band is provided, between the trailing edge of the guide vane and the downstream end of the band, with a coating forming a thermal barrier enabling a temperature gradient generated in the band by the air spinning in the cavity to be increased.

Abstract: In order to treat an aqueous acid effluent resulting from the decontamination of a component of a nuclear power station, the effluent containing an organic load comprising an organic reducing agent and nitrate ions and at least one oxidizing compound is introduced into the effluent. The effluent is then subjected to ultraviolet radiation and the totality of the organic load is thus converted into water and carbon dioxide, as well as possibly into at least one oxide of a chemical element present in the organic load, while neutralizing the effluent.
