Development of advanced materials Sample Clauses

Development of advanced materials. The milder action of one or another material degradation factor depending on the component is generally a positive fact, that allows designers to reduce the requirements on materials for specific parts of the plant. However, for some components or parts of components it may happen that no design-driven ageing mitigation strategy can be identified that guarantees their fitness for purpose over a sufficiently long timespan. This means that the availability of the component will not allow an affordable and/or fully safe functioning of the system. In this case there is a strong push to identify materials with better properties or to suitably modify and protect those that are available to improve their properties, or even to develop altogether new materials. This applies specifically to commercial GenIV reactors, because it is very unlikely that the high fuel burnups and operating temperatures targeted in these systems, in contact with non-conventional coolants, can be fully achieved with existing materials, under the overarching principle of safety. It is well-known that prototypes and demonstrators will operate at conditions that are not optimal in terms of efficiency and waste minimisation, at smaller scale and power than eventual commercial reactors, because this is the only way to be compatible with the conditions that existing materials can tolerate, based on existing qualification data and return of experience. To ensure the commercial deployment of truly GenIV systems with a design lifetime of 60 years and sustaining high fuel burn-ups and transmutation, materials of better performance are needed. This requires a significant research and development effort towards: (i) the identification of effective materials solutions to mitigate the consequences of the harsh conditions that are met in the reactors; (ii) the improvement of the properties of existing materials by identifying more suitable fabrication or treatment processes; and (iii) in some cases even the elaboration of completely new materials. It is quite clear that the development of materials implies not only the elaboration of the materials architecture, production or treatment route and identification of reliable joining techniques, but also the qualification of the result of this effort via exposure to suitable conditions, very much in the same way as in the case of existing materials to be qualified for the prototypes. The difference is that the first goal here is not to define correlations an...

  • DEVELOPMENT OR ASSISTANCE IN DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS/ STATEMENTS OF WORK Firms and/or individuals that assisted in the development or drafting of the specifications, requirements, statements of work, or solicitation documents contained herein are excluded from competing for this solicitation. This shall not be applicable to firms and/or individuals providing responses to a publicly posted Request for Information (RFI) associated with a solicitation.

  • Modification of Licensed Materials The Participating Institutions or the Authorized Users shall not modify or manipulate the Licensed Materials without the prior written permission of the Licensor.

  • Notification of Modifications of Licensed Materials From time to time Publisher may add, change, or modify portions of the Licensed Materials, or migrate the Licensed Materials to other formats. When such changes, modifications, or migrations occur, the Licensor shall give notice of any such changes to Licensee as soon as is practicable, but in no event less than sixty (60) days in advance of modification. Such a notice may also be given directly by the Publisher to the Licensee. If any of the changes, modifications, or migrations renders the Licensed Materials substantially less useful to the Licensee, the Participating Institutions or their Authorized Users, the Licensee may seek to terminate this Agreement for breach pursuant to the termination provisions of this Agreement in Section XI, below.

  • Availability of Licensed Materials Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, Licensor will make the Licensed Materials available to the Licensee, the Participating Institutions and Authorized Users.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
