Virtual reality software plans the safe decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The software package, based on research led by Professor Richard Williams and Dr Xiaodong Jia, has been developed by the University of Leeds spin-out company Structure Vision, allows planners to work out the best way of breaking up and packing contaminated equipment while minimising workers' radiation exposure. It also shows in minute detail how radioactive waste can be stored in the smallest possible space,...
Lowest on-state resistance
Rutronik extends its portfolio with Extra Super-Junction Device from ST Microelectronics. The MDmesh V power MOSFET STW77N65M5 in TO-247 size package delivers the industry’s lowest on-state resistance for 650V MOSFETs. Designers can use this superiority to improve performance and reduce overall size by replacing multi-parallel networks of conventional MOSFETs with a far smaller number of MDmesh V devices. The STW77N65M5 is rated for 69A maximum current and available...
