    Abstract: A heat pipe cooled nuclear reactor core (“reactor core”) includes an array of fuel, an array of primary heat rejection heat pipes, and an array of moderator cooling heat pipes or thermosiphons. Each moderator cooling heat pipe in the array of moderator cooling heat pipes is surrounded by metal hydride moderator materials, slowing neutrons from a fission energy range to a lower energy range in the reactor core.

    Abstract: Examples of air treatment systems for use in neutralizing airborne pathogens are disclosed herein. The air treatment systems comprise a housing, an air moving device, and one or more sources of ultraviolet light. An airflow may be directed through the enclosure by the air moving device and exposed to the ultraviolet light sources disposed within the enclosure. In some examples, the air treatment systems include one or more baffles disposed within the enclosure to disrupt the linear flow of air through the enclosure and cause more uniform exposure to the ultraviolet light emitted by the sources of ultraviolet light. Some examples may also include one or more air filters for removing particulate matter.
