ABSTRACTDeformation behavior of an 18R-type long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase in the Mg-Zn-Y system was studied by micro-pillar compressions of single crystalline specimens prepared by focused ion beam (FIB) technique as a function of loading axis orientation and specimen dimensions. When the loading axis is inclined to the basal plane of the LPSO phase by 42°, basal slip of (0001)<11$\bar 2$0>-type is activated irrespective of the specimen dimensions. When the loading axis is parallel to the basal plane, the formation of thick deformation bands are observed for all specimens tested. Strong size-dependence of yield stress values is observed for both types of micro-pillar specimens with different loading axis orientations.

Increasing costs and security concerns with present fossil energy sources, plus environmental concerns related to CO2 emissions and the emergence of new technologies in the energy and transportation sectors set the stage for a marriage of convenience between coal and nuclear energy. As the price of oil continues to increase and supply becomes increasingly constrained, coal offers a secure domestic alternative to foreign oil as a source of liquid fuels. However, conventional technologies for converting coal to liquid fuels produce large quantities of CO2 that must be released or sequestered. Advanced nuclear technologies, particularly the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR), have the potential to produce hydrogen via water splitting; however, the transportation and storage of hydrogen are significant barriers to the “Holy Grail”, the Hydrogen Economy. In a coal/nuclear marriage, the hydrogen and oxygen provided by nuclear energy are joined with coal as a source of carbon to provide liquid fuels with negligible CO2 release from the process. In combination with emerging hybrid vehicles, fuels based on a coal/nuclear marriage promise stable prices, increased domestic security and a reduction in CO2 emissions without the need to completely replace our transportation fuels infrastructure. The intent of this paper is to outline the technical basis for the above points and to show that process energy applications of nuclear energy can provide the basis for answering some of the tougher questions related to energy and the environment.
