Development of thermodynamic cycles for sodium-cooled-fast reactors.
(2013-12-01)Currently, one engineering challenge is designing Generation IV (GEN-IV) Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) with significantly higher thermal efficiencies compared to current NPPs, and to match, or at least to be close to, the ... -
Monte Carlo simulations for the purpose of efficiency curve calibration for the Fastscan whole body counter
(2015-08-01)In order to be able to qualify and quantify radiation exposure in terms of dose, a Fastscan whole body counter must be calibrated correctly. Current calibration methods do not take the full range of body types into ... -
Optimization of plastic scintillator thicknesses for online beta detection in mixed fields
(2010-12-01)For efficient beta detection in a mixed beta gamma field, Monte Carlo simulation models have been built to optimize the thickness of a plastic scintillator, used in whole body monitor. The simulation has been performed ...
