Creator:: Johnson, Patrick M.
Abstract:: Nuclear material monitoring systems have long been established at ports of entry. However, there are no standard systems for monitoring points of interest within the country. Therefore, the use of a network of radiation sensors deployed throughout an area of interest is being investigated within this thesis. Before full scale...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: . Special thanks to Dr. Abdollah Farsoni, Dr. Qiao Wu, and Dr. Leah Minc for serving on my graduate

Creator:: Leek, Angela E.
Abstract:: Advancements in digital detector technology over the past decade have facilitated the transition of mammography image acquisition from film screen to full field digital applications. Nearly 90% of the mammography performed in the United States utilizes digital imaging technologies. The ability to capture the image information in an electronic format...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Tang, Matthew M.
Abstract:: The Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR20.1201) mandates occupational dose limits to the shallow, lens and deep tissue layers. The NRC-accepted procedure of estimating dose to these layers from contamination events is laborious. The current work aims to further the development of a portable phoswich-style skin dosimeter that will operate in...

Creator:: Ryou, Jong bum
Abstract:: As the number of mobile devices accessing large-scale WLANs such as campus and metropolitan area networks increases, the need for load balancing among the cells becomes crucial. In addition, the network must also support some minimum handoff tolerance defined by an application. A number of load balancing techniques have been...

Creator:: Cazalas, Edward J.
Abstract:: International recommendations provided by the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP), as well as national regulations, set by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), state that the exposure of skin to highly concentrated radioactive sources should be monitored at specified depths in skin and kept below specific dose equivalence levels....
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: pulse shape analysis. The doctoral work of Farsoni (2006) serves as a model for the future work

Creator:: Holfeltz, Vanessa E.
Abstract:: Effective separation of lanthanides (Ln) from the minor actinides (MA) is a crucial technical challenge to closing the nuclear fuel cycle. This separation is a necessary prerequisite to transmute long-lived isotopes of Am and Cm, which will allow a reduction of the repository volume, thermal load, and radiological toxicity of...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Tai, Lydia I.
Abstract:: CR-39 foils were irradiated as part of nuclear accident dosimetry experiments using the Godiva reactor at the Nevada National Security Site and the Caliban and Prospero reactors at the Valduc Centre for Nuclear Studies in France. The irradiated foils were chemically etched using the standard Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory process...
