  • Publication number: 20110015903
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of searching for positions to place control rods with crack in a boiling water reactor core. When a control rod is broken in a nuclear reactor core, it is determined whether the smallest cold shut-down margin meets the regulations of the laws. Positions meeting the regulations of the laws are found to place control rods that might be broken but are still in operation in the reactor core. After the cold shut-down margins are confirmed, the critical safety is determined to avoid the risk of not being able to shut down the reactor core when urgent shut-down is needed.

  • Publication number: 20110003425
    Abstract: Dichlorosilane and diborane are deposited on the titanium-based alloy film to grow a p+ type back surface field film. The temperature is raised to grow a p? type light-soaking film on the p+ type back surface field film. Phosphine is deposited on the p? type light-soaking film to form an n+ type emitter. Thus, an n+-p?-p+ laminate is provided on the titanium-based alloy film. SiCNO:Ar plasma is used to passivate the n+-p?-p+ laminate, thus forming an anti-reflection film of SiCN/SiO2 on the n+ type emitter. The n+-p?-p+ laminate is etched in a patterned mask process. A p? type ohmic contact is formed on the titanium-based alloy film. The anti-reflection film is etched in a patterned mask process. The n+ type emitter is coated with a titanium/palladium/silver alloy film that is annealed in hydrogen. An n? type ohmic contact is formed on the n+ type emitter.
