Developing a thermodynamic model for the U-Pd-Rh-Ru quaternary system for use in the modelling of nuclear fuel
(2018-12-01)
Ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium are fission products in nuclear fuels. These elements and their compounds change the properties of fuel pellets. Phase diagrams involving uranium have been constructed experimentally to ...
A new approach to neutron spectrometry with multi-element scintillators
(2014-02-01)
The combined effects of the nuclear industrial renaissance, the events of 9/11, and the Fukushima disaster have had a significant impact on the research and development of radiation detection instrumentation. Notably, there ...
Retrospective assessment of human exposures to low dose ionizing radiation using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry with tooth enamel
(2022-04-01)
This study collected the extracted teeth from people of different ages in the Durham region and analyzed them using the X-band CW EPR spectroscopy. The total dose rate from the natural and anthropogenic sources was 1.9721 ...
New approaches in training for in situ visualization of ionizing radiation measurements
(2022-08-01)
Surveying an environment for sources of ionizing radiation requires the use of measurement tools and skills developed from training in order to understand and analyze measurements. Recent advances in technology allow for ...
A benchmarked dynamic model of xenon behavior in a molten salt reactor
(2019-12-01)
Molten salt reactors are a type of nuclear reactor that are being considered for deployment in the fourth generation nuclear power technology. Molten salt reactors use molten a alkali / actinide halide salt melt at ...
