Stability analysis of dynamic heat transfer

Creator:

Luo, Shyr Tung

Abstract:

The stability analysis for a heated tube system is an important safety feature of a nuclear power plant. Although the system theory is well established for linear systems described by ordinary differential equations, there is still a shortage of theory dealing with a distributed system, which is described by partial...

Selenium measurement in ground water and biological material by instrumental neutron activation analysis

Creator:

Yousef, Samir

Abstract:

The utilization of ⁷⁷ [superscript m] Se, half life 17.5 s, and ⁷⁵ Se, half life 119.8 d, for quantification of trace amounts of Se in well water and biological materials by means of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) is described. A Se detection limit of 0.03 ppm was achieved...

Applications of beta spectroscopy

Creator:

Pratt, David Sheldon

Abstract:

Two applications of beta spectrometry using active gamma-ray discrimination are described. The beta spectra of smears taken at a nuclear power plant at the end of a 300 day shutdown were characterized. The average beta energy at "contact" (1.5 cm) was between 450 and 550 keV for locations influenced by...
