Dosimetric characterization of a miniature x-ray source for biophysics studies
(2015-07-01)
Tritium is a low energy beta emitter that is found in abundance at CANDU nuclear power plants and is a cause of concern since it accounts for roughly thirty three percent of the total occupational exposure of nuclear ...
Moderator displacers for reducing coolant void reactivity in CANDU reactors: a neutronics scoping study.
(2014-08-01)
When the coolant is voided in a CANDU lattice, the net reactivity change is positive, due primarily to the fact that the coolant and moderator are separated and the coolant volume is much smaller than the moderator volume. ...
Development of energy compensated Geiger Muller detector based on the T2416A Canberra Co. GM detector
(2013-07-08)
Geiger Muller counters have been a fundamental device in radiation detection for decades due to their simplicity and low cost. Canberra Company has been designing and manufacturing Geiger Muller detectors in various designs ...
Simulation of dynamic response of Self-Powered-Inconel-Neutron-Detector lead cables using a semi-empirical model
(2013-11-01)
The work presented here was devoted to the modelling and simulation of the dynamic response of lead cables of Inconel self-powered neutron detectors in a CANDUpower reactor. The main goal was to develop a semi-empirical ...
Encapsulated source contact dose estimates incorporating secondary electron emission
(2015-04-01)
Secondary electron emission generated at the surface of thin material from interaction with gamma rays form a significant component of the surface dose. The intensity of this emission is known to vary with material composition ...
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 ...
