The measurement of uranium concentrations by the delayed neutron counting technique

Creator:: Scherpelz, R. I.
Abstract:: The counting of delayed neutrons emitted by fission is presented as a valuable technique for the measurement of uranium concentrations in a variety of matrices. The concentrations successfully analyzed can vary from well under one part per million to the high concentrations found in uranium ores. In a sample analysis,...

Monte Carlo model of a capture gamma ray analyzer for a seafloor core sample

Creator:: Almasoumi, Abdullah Muhammad Sultan
Abstract:: Of great benefit, but not limited to seafloor mineral exploration, is a technique that fairly rapidly determines the composition of a drilled vibracore (in a time comparable to the time involved in obtaining the core). The rapid assessment is desired to predict whether a given region warrants further exploration by...

Modeling of interferences in gamma ray pulse height distributions

Creator:: Harris, Richard D. (Richard Donald), 1961-
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop a model to calculate gamma ray pulse height distributions that closely approximate measured ones. The model was used to produce a pulse height distribution for a postaccident coolant sample from a nuclear reactor. Lower limits of detection were calculated for certain key...

Development of a personal computer-based reactivity meter for a research reactor

Creator:: Bakir, Alla J. M.
Abstract:: A personal computer with a Data Acquisition and Control Adapter interface has been used to monitor the power of the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor, and from the time behavior of the reactor power the reactivity has been computed using the point kinetics equations and displayed on a digital read-out...

Determining the activity distribution on a radioactive stent using plastic scintillation techniques

Creator:: Bergman, Joshua J.
Abstract:: Re-occlusion of arteries following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) remains a post-operative issue in the treatment of artery blockage. This re-narrowing of the luminal cavity, a condition called restenosis, has been attributed to the injury induced by PTCA balloon insertion. While arterial recoil can be completely prevented by a coronary...

In vivo counting of americium-241 in human lungs and tracheobronchial lymph nodes

Creator:: Northcutt, Allison Ruth
Abstract:: To distinguish americium-241 in human lungs from translocated activity in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN), two intrinsic germanium detectors were collimated with 0.3-cm lead sheeting. A tissue- equivalent phantom containing either 620 nCi (22.9 kBq) in the lungs or a 2200 nCi (81.4 kBq) TBLN point source was counted; as...

An analysis of fission product gamma spectra : the use of nuclear systematics to estimate gamma spectra

Creator:: Holter, Gene David
Abstract:: The gamma contribution to reactor afterheat depends on gamma energy since high-energy commas are more likely to escape from tilt. fuel. The objective of this work is to investigate the gamma-energy spectrum of a pure U-235 fission reactor. Fission-product nuclides are first listed in order' of importance as contributors to...

Research reactor coolant monitoring using automated gamma ray spectrometry

Creator:: TenBrook, Warren Kermit
Abstract:: An integrated sampling and gamma ray spectrometry system has been developed for analysis of TRIGA reactor primary cooling water. A microcomputer controls pumps and valves using BASIC and assembly language programs to pump 300 ml liquid samples into a reference geometry surrounding a Ge(Li) detector. Gamma ray spectra are acquired...

Elemental analysis of zircon samples from Pacific northwest beaches by INAA

Creator:: Azim, Bilqees
Abstract:: Fifteen sand samples from beaches along the Pacific North were analyzed for their elemental content by the method of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). A separation technique was employed to separate the zircon (a heavy non-magnetic mineral with a specific gravity of 4.67) from the rest of the sample. This...
