Creator:: Keller, S. Todd
Abstract:: Attila is a state-of-the-art radiation transport based code that is efficient, accurate and straightforward to use. Geometric information is input to the code as CAD drawings. Material property information is input as a cross section library. The user has full control over standard transport options and output reports. In phase...

Creator:: Gomez Fernandez, Mario Enrique
Abstract:: Over the past decade the International Commission on Radiological Protection has developed a comprehensive approach to environmental protection that includes the use of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) to assess radiological impacts on the environment. For the purposes of calculating radiation dose, the RAPs are approximated as simple shapes that...

Creator:: Luo, Hu
Abstract:: This study is intended to investigate and propose a systematic method for uncertainty quantification for the computer code validation application. Uncertainty quantification has gained more and more attentions in recent years. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires the use of realistic best estimate (BE) computer code to follow the rigorous...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: best- estimate reactor safety computer code simulation results. As greater values indicate faster

Creator:: Howard, Trevor
Abstract:: As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: components as small as individual fuel plates can take weeks on a desktop computer, thus requiring the use

Creator:: Jackson, R. Brian
Abstract:: Downward flow opposing mixed convection conditions have been studied using the FLUENT CFD code. This work was comprised of two primary objectives. The first was to study core channel flow reversal susceptibility in the Gas Reactor Test Section (GRTS) at low flow conditions. The second objective was the development of...
