Towards low dose retrospective dosimetry on shelled species
(2020-08-01)This work investigates calcified tissues of shelled species for retrospective dosimetry using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. To determine applicable samples for low dose studies, shells of crustacean ... -
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. ... -
Using MELCOR with enhanced predictive capabilities via Thermochimica to model two severe accident cases of a generic BWR with Zry-2 and FeCrAl
(2022-07-01)The primary goal of this work was to enhance MELCOR’s material modelling capabilities via one-way coupling of Thermochimica. MELCOR is a state-of-the-art code used to simulate the severe accident progression of a nuclear ...
