  • Analysis of the antineutrino rate during CANDU reactor startup

    Creator:
    Matthews, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Detection systems used to monitor reactor operations are of significant interest as tools for verification of operator declarations. Current reactor site safeguards are limited to visual inspections and intrusive monitoring systems. The recent development of antineutrino detectors may soon allow real-time monitoring from an unobtrusive location. Antineutrinos are produced through...

  • Application of Advanced Hybrid Transport Methods for Nonproliferation Test Problems

    Creator:
    Somasundaram, Elanchezhian
    Abstract:
    The implementation of advanced hybrid (Monte Carlo/Deterministic) transport methods for realistic test problems has been a challenge due to the overhead efforts associated with interfacing a solution generated by a deterministic solver with a Monte Carlo based radiation transport code. In this work, with the help of Transpire, Inc., a...

  • The iterative thermal emission Monte Carlo method for thermal radiative transfer

    Creator:
    Long, Alex R.
    Abstract:
    For over 30 years, the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method has been used to solve challenging problems in thermal radiative transfer. These problems are typically optically thick and di ffusive, as a consequence of the high degree of "pseudo-scattering" introduced to model the absorption and reemission of photons from a...
