Revisiting Lōʻihi: Geochemistry of Kamaʻehuakanaloa Lavas Reveals Complexities in the Pre-Shield to Shield Transition and Hawaiian Mantle Plume Source

Creator:: Truong, Thi B.
Abstract:: Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes contribute valuable insights about Earth processes and mantle evolution, and are fundamental for understanding the construction of the largest volcanoes on terrestrial planets. The pre-shield stage exists in every Hawaiian volcano, but is usually blanketed by high volume tholeiitic lava flows during the main shield stage....

Development of a Fast Spectrum Test Loop at the Advanced Test Reactor

Creator:: Higgins, Anton
Abstract:: The United States currently has no infrastructure to provide a fast neutron flux for research purposes. With the increased interest in Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) technology, this type of infrastructure is necessary for further development of key components such as Versatile Test Reactor. The purpose of this research is to...

Evaluating the presence of radium-226 in soil surrounding a coal-fired power plant using the multi-agency radiation survey and site investigation manual (MARSSIM)

Creator:: Herring, Thomas A. (Thomas Andrew)
Abstract:: Coal-fired power plants constitute a significant source of energy production for the United States, and are projected to do so for decades to come. Most of the scrutiny coal-fired power plants receive is in the form of environmental concerns regarding green house gas emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and...

Development of a binary mixture gas composition instrument for use in a confined high temperature environment

Creator:: Cadell, Seth R.
Abstract:: With recent advancements in material science, industrial operations are being conducted at higher and higher temperatures. This is apparent in the nuclear industry where a division of the field is working to develop the High Temperature Gas Reactor and the Very High Temperature Gas Reactor concurrently. Both of these facilities...

A Game of Silent Irreverence : Passive Resistance in The Dalles, Oregon

Creator:: Maddoux, Maryanne
Abstract:: 210 East First Street (site 35WS453) contains the only extant remains of a once thriving Overseas Chinese settlement, in the city of The Dalles, Oregon. Very little is known about the everyday lives of these early settlers, or the pressures that they faced. This thesis will help to enrich the...

Caution! High Water: A Historical Archaeological Investigation of the Champoeg Townsite (ORMA26) after the 1861 Flood

Creator:: Hill, Cayla L.
Abstract:: The Champoeg townsite first developed due to its ideal settlement and trade location within the Willamette Valley, becoming the ‘legal birthplace of Oregon’ in 1843. However, by 1860 Champoeg’s significance had begun to decline, and in December of 1861 a devastating flood wiped out the townsite. Archaeological excavations took place...

Soft Robotics in Radiation Environments : A Prospective Study of an Emerging Automated Technology for Existing Nuclear Applications

Creator:: Oshiro, Tyler T.
Abstract:: Traditional robots have a long history in nuclear-related work because their integration decreases risk to humans in dangerous environments. Soft robotics is one promising new branch of traditional robotics with proposed applications in industry, medicine, and society. Collaborators from the Robotics mLab at Oregon State University (OSU) are currently working...

Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Late Pleistocene and Holocene Human Ecologies: A Case Study of Phytoliths from the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho

Creator:: Knapp, Dante L.
Abstract:: Archaeological excavations of the Cooper's Ferry site in the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho, have revealed a stratified record of cultural occupation, spanning the late Pleistocene and early Holocene periods. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding of cultural adaptive strategies represented in the archaeological record...

Locating and Quantifying Contamination Deposited in Radiation Puncture Wounds

Creator:: Wehmann, Nicholas K.
Abstract:: Internal dosimetry models show a representation of how radionuclides move through the body. This study takes a look at radiation wounds by modelling a puncture wound to the hand using Microshield software. An analysis of these models provides a triangulation method that could be used to investigate wound characteristics, as...

Comparison of Attila SN Particle Transport Code with MCNP in the Analysis of Small Modular Reactor Shielding

Creator:: Rose, Charlotte
Abstract:: Of great importance in the design of a nuclear power plant is the evaluation of shielding from the ionizing radiation produced in the core of the nuclear reactor. This requires simulation software to predict the dose rates in the areas of interest. Comparing the simulation of the same modeled system...
