  • Development of a Radioxenon Detection System using Stilbene and Strontium Iodide

    Creator:
    Gadey, Harish R.
    Abstract:
    The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) prohibits the testing of nuclear weapons on the face of the earth. The detection of atmospheric radioxenon (131mXe, 133m/133Xe, and 135Xe) plays an important role in the identification of sub-surface clandestine nuclear weapon explosions. Since the radioxenon identified above decay via two radiation in coincidence,...

  • Generation of Multigroup Multiband Cross Sections with Monte Carlo Simulations

    Creator:
    Lam, Adam Q.
    Abstract:
    This is the investigation into The generation of high-fidelity multigroup multiband cross sections from Monte Carlo neutron transport simulations. Previous methods for generating multigroup multiband (MGMB) cross sections, and multigroup cross sections, assume an approximate shape for the scalar flux. This approximate flux shape is the product of an energy-dependent...

  • Evaluation of ²³⁵U and ²³⁸U Fast Fission Product Yields from Godiva-IV Burst Irradiation via Gamma Detection

    Creator:
    Tamashiro, Aaron S.
    Abstract:
    During the past few decades, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has made significant investments to improve nuclear data libraries, as the quality of this data impacts nearly all analyses of nuclear systems. Nuclear fission product yields are one component of these libraries, and are important for the analysis of...

  • Designing a Spent Fuel Imaging System Using Active Radiography and Passive Tomography Techniques

    Creator:
    Economy, Nikolas
    Abstract:
    Instead of expensive and destructive chemical analysis, nondestructive assay (NDA) through radiography and tomography can be a faster, easier, and more appropriate method of analyzing spent nuclear fuel (SNF). As a preliminary study for the future design of a submersible SNF imaging system, this thesis demonstrates the ability of NDA...

  • Diffusion Accelerated Implicit Monte Carlo via Nonlinear Elimination for Thermal Radiative Transfer

    Creator:
    Lam, Adam Q.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we derive and implement a new transport-diffusion hybrid algorithm for solving thermal radiative transfer (TRT) problems. Using the method of nonlinear elimination (NLEM), the TRT system of equations can be written in terms of a transport equation with the absence of scattering and a diffusion equation. The...
