Design and development of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
Shukla, Shivam (2015-08-01)For the design of a new robotic crawler drive unit for CANDU fuel channel inspection, a complete design and screening process was done in order to fulfil the objective of this research. A brief explanation of CANDU reactors ... -
Detector integration of severe accident management instrumentation for robotic applications at nuclear reactor facilities
Nusrat, Omar (2021-08-01)In the aftermath of a nuclear accident, robots can be used to monitor and assess radiological contamination, preventing harmful exposure to plant personnel. In this work, several detectors were evaluated to be supplemented ... -
Determining the effectiveness of nuclear security through computer simulation
Chornoboy, Nicholas Jordan (2015-09-01)There is a growing concern from both national regulators and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about the threat posed by attacks against iconic targets such as nuclear power plants. This has led to an increased ... -
Development and demonstration of a high-performance Gaussian puff model for nuclear emergency training scenarios in unity game engine
Gelautz, Paul David (2021-08-01)Prompt decision making and implementation of protective actions in the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency require detailed preparations and training. Computer models provide an avenue to simulate the presence of ... -
Examination of secondary electrons generated by encapsulated gamma sources to improve contact dosimetry estimates
Heritage, Eric (2017-04-01)Secondary electron generation on the surface of encapsulated gamma sources can play a large role in the dose measured near the surface of the encapsulation. The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements ... -
Retrospective assessment of human exposures to low dose ionizing radiation using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry with tooth enamel
Ghimire, Lekhnath (2022-04-01)This study collected the extracted teeth from people of different ages in the Durham region and analyzed them using the X-band CW EPR spectroscopy. The total dose rate from the natural and anthropogenic sources was 1.9721 ... -
Special isotopes of the FUGEN nuclear reactor
Davis, Timothy R. (2022-04-01)The Canadian and Japanese nuclear regulatory bodies have shown dissimilarities between the isotopes considered to be of interest in decommissioning similarly styled heavy water reactors. This research examines the quantity ...
