For a long time, nondestructive assay based on radiation measurement such as gamma and neutron measurement have been used for nuclear material verification.
Besides verification of the nuclear materials at reactor and fuel building, this campaign has to take place under the attendance of the IAEA and Korean national inspectors, it requires substantial safeguards inspection efforts for international and national safeguards.
Thus, spent CANDU fuel bundles, categorized as irradiated direct-use material, have been thoroughly monitored with the IAEA surveillance cameras.
TCNC of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) supports technically the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in implementing safeguards inspection.

Materials and Methods Materials.There are 120 types of biodiesel samples, among which have 13 types of herb biodiesels: 2 types of cottonseed methyl ester (CSME), maize methyl ester (MME), PNME, rapeseed methyl ester (RME), soybean oil methyl ester (SBME), and 1 type of rice bran oil methyl ester (RBME), sunflower oil methyl ester (SFME) and sesame oil methyl ester (SME); 9 types of woody plant biodiesels: 3 types of palm methyl ester (PME), and 1 types of camellia methyl ester (CME), CTME,jatrophacurcas methyl ester(JCME), pistaciachinensis methyl ester (PCME), rubber seed methyl ester (RSME) andtung methyl ester (TME); 3 types of waste oil biodiesels: hogwash oil methyl ester (HME), Kentucky fried oil methyl ester (KFME) and waste cooking oil methyl ester (WCME); 95 blended biodiesels.
Among 25 types of representative raw material biodiesel, the contents of SFAMEC≥20 in PNME1 and the content of SFAME in PME2 are 9.86 and 40.13 w%, which are high and the CFPPs reach up to 10℃, which are 13 and 10℃ respectively; the UFAME of SSME and RME2 are high, which are 88.62 and 87.46 w%, leading to the CFPPs decrease to -10℃, which are -14 and -9℃, thus, affecting the serviceable range and climate adaptability of biodiesel.

Preparation and Characterization of Protein Bioplastics from Fish Waste Using Different Plasticizers Siti Amirah Alias1, Ku Marsilla Ku Ishak2 1,2School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering, Engineering Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Seri Ampangan, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia ku_marsilla@usm.my Keywords: biopolymers, bioplastics, fish protein, amino acids, plasticizers Abstract.
However, there are some limitations because protein has lower mechanical properties as compared to synthetic materials.
Methodology Materials and Sample Preparation.
Addition of plasticizers compromise the strength of the material but increase the elongation at break properties.

Beyond these regions, the pyrolysis of the materials continued with slower rate and lose in weight are stopped, which tends to saturate in temperature range between 625-1000oC for the resins BMR and NMR, being in the temperature more than 1000oC for resin (NR).
Beyond these temperature, the pyrolysis and the weight loss of the materials continued slowly.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of the promising representatives of polymeric materials and there are numerous proposals for its application in electronics, as well as packaging textile and food products due to its high clarity and excellent durability.
The formation of composite film might potentially be used as an alternative or substitute material for many other applications. 2.
The MOD is a technique in which thin films are prepared starting from a chemical solution of the precursor materials deposed on a substrate by dipping, spinning or spraying techniques.
There are several reasons for this behavior, where half of the bulk PVA consists of crystallites embedded in a matrix of glassy material.

Numerical Results of the Forming Process 12 material and 3 process parameters have been considered in the forming process.
An experimental validation of the material and damage model was made by means of a component test [10].

Compost is the outputs of the process, while emission and recyclable materials are the byproducts.
Compost is produced in composting centers, emission is generated from waste degradation process in landfill, and recyclable materials are sorted and sold by scavengers in landfill.
Compost and recyclable material from landfill is the emergy benefit for all scenarios.
