Raffreddamento senza pompe: nuovi dati di misurazione per i reattori modulari
Nella cornice di una collaborazione internazionale, i ricercatori dell'Istituto Paul Scherrer PSI hanno raccolto per la prima volta dati di misurazione ad alta risoluzione relativi ai sistemi di raffreddamento passivi per piccoli reattori nucleari modulari: un'importante base di partenza per lo sviluppo delle future generazioni di reattori.
Armonizzare l'energia eolica e la bellezza dei paesaggi
I ricercatori del PSI e del Politecnico di Zurigo hanno creato la prima mappa europea della qualità del paesaggio, mostrando dove l'energia eolica e la tutela del paesaggio si scontrano.
