Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate coated with a coating consisting of molybdenum (Mo), sulfur (S), tantalum (Ta) and oxygen (O) atoms present in the form of one or several compound(s) selected from among the compounds of formula (I): MowSxTayOz??(I) wherein w is equal to 0 or 1; x varies from 0 to 2; y varies from 0 to 1 and z varies from 0 to 3; said coating comprising at least 5% at of oxygen and said coating having a dense compact microstructure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method implemented by computer for the creation in a collaborative manner and in a real-time unified process of animation contents, characterized in that it comprises on the one hand steps of producing and disseminating animation contents as synthesis images intended to be implemented by virtue of the combined action of a plurality of terminals and of a central server, and on the other hand steps of managing these animation contents, said steps being adapted to allow the central server to centralize and manage the set of data produced at the stage of the production steps.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pusher placed in a magazine for irradiated fuel elements which allows displacement thereof for the cutting operations. The pusher according to the invention allows the displacement of elements of small section in a magazine of large section. At the end of a cutting operation, the pusher applies its blank against the auxiliary holding clamp forming a continuous surface and the element is pushed by a blade, the body of the pusher being immobilized.

Abstract: Machine for removing the spacing wire (28) from a nuclear fuel rod (26). The rod (26) is moved through the central passages of first (10) and second (12) rotary parts. The first rotary part (10) has a portion in the form of a milling cutter (30) for detaching the welding spots from the wire (28) on the rod (26). As the rod advances, the wire (26) passes into the holes (32) of the first rotary part (10) and the holes (34) of the second part (12). As these two parts rotate at different speeds, the wire (28) is cut by shearing. Application to the reprocessing of the irradiated fuels of fast neutron nuclear reactors.
