| With this, we can produce energetic dysprosium, atomic mass 162.5, heavy enough for nuclear reactions. |
|
| The relative difficulty in identifying certain elements has given birth to such names as lanthanum, krypton and dysprosium. |
|
| Ytterite was eventually to yield eight other new elements in addition to dysprosium. |
|
| They proposed then that you could have a new uranium fuel with dysprosium that would take away this power pulse problem. |
|
| Each segment contains small amounts of ions of relatively rare metals, such as dysprosium, thulium, and cerium, which fluoresce in different colors. |
|
| Due to its excellent neutron-absorbing properties and high melting point, dysprosium has nuclear control applications in the nuclear industry. |
|
| And if it does, the need for dysprosium and neodymium will diminish quite a lot. |
|
| Due to its reactive nature, dysprosium is not found as a free element. |
|
| The CANFLEX fuel bundle consists of 43 elements of two different diameters and contains SEU and natural uranium blended with dysprosium oxide, which is a nontoxic and non-radioactive material that absorbs neutrons. |
|
| Terbium and dysprosium are added to neodymium to allow it to remain magnetic at high temperatures. |
|
| Could demand for dysprosium and neodymium then be met? |
|
| With respect to the proposed use of new fuel, the Commission sought further information on the potential of dysprosium oxide to have a new impact on the environment. |
|
| Compounds of dysprosium have several applications in industry. |
|
| Mixtures of uranium and dysprosium oxide were sintered under controlled atmospheric conditions with the intention of developing condensed phases in equilibrium with gaseous atmospheres. |
|
| Demand for the magnets, made of such rare earths as neodymium and dysprosium, is expected to grow due to rising sales of hybrid and other eco-friendly cars. |
|
| If they ever live up to their promise, nanocomposite magnets should reduce the demand for both neodymium and for another rare earth element called dysprosium. |
|
| And some of these magnets also contain 3 to 10 percent of dysprosium, which allows the magnets to reach higher temperatures and still maintain their strength. |
|
| Dysprosium is one of 15 rare earth elements, a family also known as the lanthanides. |
|
| Dysprosium alloys are also used in control rods used to moderate the flow of neutrons through a nuclear reactor. |
