Patient radiation exposure variability and minimization in mobile, C-arm fluoroscopy

Creator:

Van Wieren, Robert T.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The frequency of C-arm fluoroscopy procedures is increasing and it has become prudent to increase the awareness of patient radiation exposure to minimize patient risk. There is a strong potential for variability in patient exposure levels and a need for minimizing unnecessary exposure. The variability in C-arm fluoroscopy can...

Masters Thesis
How clean is coal : coal power plant ash pond regulations compared to nuclear reactor decommissioning standards

Creator:

Williams, Manuel P.

Abstract:

Coal power is the prominent source of energy in the United States (U.S.) and around the world. The byproducts of coal power contain many of the same radioactive nuclides that are found in the local environment just in higher concentrations. With so much of this ash being stockpiled, the amount...

Preliminary framework for the run-ahead predictive simulation software (RAPSS)

Creator:

Makinson, Kevin A.

Abstract:

The Run-Ahead Predictive Simulation Software (RAPSS) is an architecture designed for faster-than-real-time decision support for operators of complex networks. To enable further development of the RAPSS methodology, the necessary proof of principle is illustrated in two applications: decision support for shift technical advisors in nuclear power plant control rooms (RAPSS-STA),...
