Transmutation rates in the annulus gas of pressure tube water reactors
(2011-07-01)
CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) reactor utilizes Pressure Tube (PT) fuel channel design and heavy water as a coolant. Fuel channel annulus gas acts as an insulator to minimize heat losses from the coolant to the moderator. ...
An experimental study of the relative response of plastic scintillators to photons and beta particles within the context of tritium monitoring
(2011-08-01)
A scintillation counting system has been constructed with the use of BC-400 and EJ-212 series plastic scintillators along with a subminiature photomultiplier tube to investigate the effect of increasing plastic scintillator ...
