Development of a 37-element fuel bundle for the production of molybdenum-99 in CANDU power reactors.
(2014-08-01)
In this study, the potential use of CANDU power reactors for the production of Mo-99 is assessed. Five different modifications of a 37-element fuel bundle that could be used for the production of Mo-99 in existing CANDU ...
Assessment of FLUENT CFD code as an analysis tool for SCW applications
(2012-08-01)
Chosen as one of six Generation‒IV nuclear-reactor concepts, SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) are expected to have high thermal efficiencies within the range of 45 ‒ 50% owing to the reactor‟s high pressures and ...
Design of a fault tolerant control scheme based on sliding mode for Canadian supercritical water reactor
(2016-08-01)
Canadian Super Critical Water Reactor (SCWR) is one of the Generation IV reactor types and possible heat source for co-hydrogen production through copper chlorine thermochemical cycle. To maintain the balance between the ...
Three dimensional heterogeneous finite element method for static multi-group neutron diffusion
(2010-08-01)
Because current full-core neutronic-calculations use two-group neutron diffusion and rely on homogenizing fuel assemblies, reconstructing pin powers from such a calculation is an elaborate and not very accurate process; ...
The application of experimental microdosimetry to mixed-field neutron-gamma dosimetry
(2012-12-01)
Absorbed dose distributions in lineal energy for neutrons and gamma rays were measured by using both a tissue-equivalent walled counter (TEPC) and a graphite-walled low pressure proportional counter (GPC) in the Am-Be ...
Neutron production in a spherical phantom aboard the international space station
(2010-12-01)
Since the beginning of space exploration in last century, several kinds of devices from passive and active dosimeters to radiation environment monitors have been used to measure radiation levels onboard different space ...
A Computational Fluid Dynamics based model that predicts wall shear stress in CANDU outlet feeder pipes
(2018-01-01)
Wall thinning of carbon steel in CANDU reactor outlet feeder pipes due to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is identified as one of the challenges for CANDU reactors since it would force them to shut down due to safety ...
Elder perspectives: leveraging digital tools in language revival initiatives
(2019-12-01)
Elders are held in high regard in First Nations, Metis, and Inuit (FNMI) communities. They are the intergenerational transmitters of ancestral language and Indigenous knowledge. Without language revival initiatives, ancestral ...
Examining the affordances and constraints of using infographics in pre-service teacher education
(2018-04-13)
Infographics are a communication tool that can be used to share large amounts of data in a more aesthetically pleasing and understandable way. The production and consumption of infographics encourages students to develop ...
Digital privacy in the classroom: an analysis of the intent and realization of Ontario policy in context
(2017-08-01)
Digital tools are becoming more commonplace within the K-12 classroom, but with the renewed opportunities come associated risks for student privacy. Digital tool use creates a digital footprint of the user which may contain ...
