Neutron fields in the vicinity of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology neutron facility have been investigated in a series of simulations and experiments. The neutron fluence at several locations around the ...

A dual neutron and gamma detection system has been developed for online measurements. The system consists of a single crystal mounted on a photomultiplier tube to detect simultaneously gamma radiation as well as thermal ...

Tritium is a radioactive hydrogen isotope that is typically produced via neutron interaction with heavy water (D2O), producing tritiated water (DTO). As a result of this, tritium accounts for roughly a third of all ...

The neutron flux throughout a reactor core should be calculated, ideally, by solving the neutron transport equation for a highly detailed geometric model of the core. Since this is computationally impractical, approximate ...

To avoid the computational effort associated with full-core neutron transport calculations, full-core neutronics calculations for Pressurized Heavy-Water Reactors (PHWRs) are usually performed in diffusion theory using an ...

A SuperCritical Water-cooled Nuclear Reactor (SCWR) is a Generation IV concept currently being developed worldwide. Unique to this reactor type is the use of light-water coolant above its critical point. The current research ...

This thesis details the conceptualization and parameterization of a gaseous detector rasterizing pinhole gamma camera. In this thesis, there is a literature review that describes the historical development of gamma imaging, ...
