In Greek and Roman sources Dido appears as the founder and first Queen of Carthage (in modern-day Tunisia). She is best known from the account given by the Roman poet Virgil in his Aeneid. In some sources she is also known as Elissa.
The name Elissa is probably a Greek rendering of the Phoenician Elishat. The name Dido, used mostly by Latin writers, seems to be a Phoenician form meaning "Wanderer" and was perhaps the name under which Elissa was most familiarly known in Carthage.
Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong (born 25 December 1971) is an English BRIT Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated singer and songwriter who uses the name Dido.
DIDO was a nuclear reactor at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom. It used enriched uranium metal fuel, and heavy water as both neutron moderator and primary coolant. There was also a graphite neutron reflector surrounding the core.
In the design phase, DIDO was known as AE334 after its engineering design number.
DIDO was designed to have a high neutron flux, largely to reduce the time required for testing of materials intended for use in nuclear power reactors. This also allowed for the production of intense beams of neutrons for use in neutron diffraction.
In all, six DIDO class reactors were constructed based on this design:
- DIDO.
- HIFAR (Australia).
- PLUTO, also at Harwell.
- Dounreay Materials Testing Reactor (DMTR) at Dounreay Nuclear Power Development Establishment in Scotland.
- One at Jülich Research Centre (Germany), also confusingly called DIDO.
- DR-3 at Risø National Laboratory (Denmark).
HIFAR was the last to shut down, in 2007.
