Among HTGRs, pebble bed reactors (PBRs) have attractive features such as low excess reactivity and online refueling. Pebble bed reactors pose unique challenges to analysts and reactor designers such as continuous burnup distribution depending on pebble mo- tion and recirculation, radiative heat transfer across a variety of gas-filled gaps, and long design basis transients such as pressurized and depressurized loss of forced circulation. Modeling and simulation is essential for both the PBR’s safety case and design process. In order to verify and validate the new generation codes the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data bank provide a set of benchmarks data together with solutions calculated by the participants using the state of the art codes of that time. An important milestone to test the new PBR simulation codes is the OECD NEA PBMR-400 benchmark which includes thermal hydraulic and neutron kinetic standalone exercises as well as coupled exercises and transients scenarios.

    ANTELOPE AND ... the American “antelope”! IRAFFE Pronghorn G TAG Why exhibit pronghorns? • Celebrate our local biodiversity by displaying the last surviving species of the Antilocapridae, a mammalian family endemic to North America. • Participate in a recovery program close to home: AZA maintains a priority insurance population of the critically endangered peninsular pronghorn. • Engage guests with these “antelope” from the familiar song “Home on the Range” (even though pronghorns aren’t true “antelope” at all!). • Let visitors get hands-on with the unusual horn sheaths of pronghorns - they are keratinous like horns, but are shed annually like antlers! • Seek partnerships with local running groups: pronghorn are the fastest land animals in North America, able to cover 6 miles in 9 minutes! • TAG Recommendation: Contact the SSP for guidance regarding which pronghorn program is best suited to your facility’s climate. MEASUREMENTS IUCN LEAST Length: 4.5 feet CONCERN Height: 3 feet (CITES I) Stewardship Opportunities at shoulder Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Project Weight: 65-130 lbs <200 peninsular Contact Melodi Tayles: [email protected] Prairies North America in the wild Care and Husbandry RED SSP (peninsular): 25.26 (51) in 7 AZA institutions (2019) Species coordinator: Melodi Tayles, San Diego Zoo Safari Park [email protected] ; (760) 855-1911 CANDIDATE Program (generic): 34.61 (95) in 21 institutions (2014) Social nature: Herd living. Harem groups with a single male are typical. Bachelor groups may be successful in the absence of females. Mixed species: Pronghorn are frequently exhibited with bison. They have also been housed with camels, deer, cranes, and waterfowl. Housing: Peninsular pronghorn are heat tolerant and do well in windy conditions, but heated shelters recommended where temperatures fall below 40ºF for extended periods.

  • Utah Pronghorn Statewide Management Plan
    UTAH PRONGHORN STATEWIDE MANAGEMENT PLAN UTAH DIVISION OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES UTAH DIVISION OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES STATEWIDE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PRONGHORN I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN A. General This document is the statewide management plan for pronghorn in Utah. This plan will provide overall direction and guidance to Utah’s pronghorn management activities. Included in the plan is an assessment of current life history and management information, identification of issues and concerns relating to pronghorn management in the state, and the establishment of goals, objectives and strategies for future management. The statewide plan will provide direction for establishment of individual pronghorn unit management plans throughout the state. B. Dates Covered This pronghorn plan will be in effect upon approval of the Wildlife Board (expected date of approval November 30, 2017) and subject to review within 10 years. II. SPECIES ASSESSMENT A. Natural History The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is the sole member of the family Antilocapridae and is native only to North America. Fossil records indicate that the present-day form may go back at least a million years (Kimball and Johnson 1978). The name pronghorn is descriptive of the adult male’s large, black-colored horns with anterior prongs that are shed each year in late fall or early winter. Females also have horns, but they are shorter and seldom pronged. Mature pronghorn bucks weigh 45–60 kilograms (100–130 pounds) and adult does weigh 35–45 kilograms (75–100 pounds). Pronghorn are North America’s fastest land mammal and can attain speeds of approximately 72 kilometers (45 miles) per hour (O’Gara 2004a).

  • NORTHERN ARIZONA PROVINCE (024) by W.C
    NORTHERN ARIZONA PROVINCE (024) By W.C. Butler INTRODUCTION This province covers about 59,000 sq mi, mostly in the southwestern part of the Colorado Plateau. Significant geologic features include the Grand Canyon, Kaibab Arch, Mogollon Highlands transition zone, Monument Uplift, Defiance Uplift, Black Mesa Basin, Holbrook Basin, and southern edges of the Kaiparowits and Blanding Basins. The stratigraphic section shown for northeastern Arizona has demonstrated the highest petroleum potential in Arizona. See Wilson (1962), Butler (1988a), and Dickinson (1989) for synopses of the province's geology and evolution. The lithologically and structurally complex basement of the Colorado Plateau area evolved from northwest-younging Proterozoic terranes sequentially accreted onto the Archean craton. As much as 12,000 ft of Middle and Late Proterozoic strata is preserved in possible rift-aulacogen depositional settings in central Arizona. Thick, unmetamorphosed, organic-rich Late Proterozoic strata deposited in backarc basins or continental lakes of north-central Arizona and south-central Utah have good petroleum potential. The plateau area, as a passive Paleozoic plate margin and buffered Mesozoic retro-arc platform, has been remarkably tectonically stable during Phanerozoic time. The area is characterized by blanket Paleozoic strata, as much as 6,000 ft thick, consisting of mostly shallow marine clastics and carbonates showing numerous disconformities. These strata accumulated during transgressions and regressions from both the northwest and southeast, onlapping and thinning toward the trans-continental arch – a northeast-trending positive area extending from the northeast into central Arizona. Convergence between North and South American tectonic plates, with reactivation of basement blocks, during the late Paleozoic created the plateau's fault-bounded basins and uplifts.
