SCALE 6 (TRITON) Simulations of Fission Product Gamma Line Emissions and their Comparison to Plutonium and Uranium Measurements

Creator:: Sanchez, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Thin foil samples of special nuclear materials (SNMs) were irradiated for 60s using a Mark TRIGA II reactor, and their associated gamma emissions were recorded with a count time of 60s following irradiation. A rapid pneumatic transfer system was used to irradiate the samples in front of beam port #4....

Neutron Flux-Energy Spectral Characterization of a Deuterium-Tritium Neutron Generator at Oregon State University

Creator:: Eastman, Abigail L.
Abstract:: The neutron flux-energy spectral characterization of a Thermo Fisher MP320 deuterium-tritium neutron generator was performed for two shielding configurations, one with substantial moderator between the source and the sample and one without such moderator. The STAYSL PNNL spectral adjustment code was utilized in conjunction with MCNP modelled reference spectra and...

Neutron Attenuation and Hydration of Cement Paste made with Light and Heavy Water

Creator:: Goodwin, Margaret N.
Abstract:: Neutron radiography has been used to study cementitious materials. This thesis studies the impact of heavy water on both the rate of hydration and neutron radiography. The neutron attenuation coefficients of light and heavy water were measured. Cement pastes were made with both heavy and light water. The attenuation coefficients...

Development of a Fundamental Depth-Dependent Neutron Dosimetry Model

Creator:: Anspach, Logan J.
Abstract:: Current neutron dosimetry methods rely on the assumption that charged particle equilibrium (CPE) is established within the tissue medium. This maintains that the kinetic energy transferred to the medium (KERMA) is equivalent to absorbed dose. However, this assumption is only valid for large volumes such as the whole body. For...

Dosimetry Model for Alpha Emitters in a Radioactive Skin Patch for Treatment of Early-Stage Nonmelanoma Skin Cancers

Creator:: Squillante, Joyce
Abstract:: Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common malignancy in Caucasian populations. One existing treatment modality for NMSCs is external radiotherapy delivered to the skin cancer tumor by a beta-emitter-containing radioactive skin patch. Alpha emitters, with their higher linear energy transfer than beta particles and shorter range in tissue, make...

Developing Software Tools to Characterize Electrochemical Loss Scenarios via Gamma Detection for Various Measurement Points, Source Geometries, and Process Times

Creator:: Harris, Noah C.
Abstract:: Faithful modeling of the expected gamma signals inside an electrochemical facility at various key measurement points is important for understanding what detection limits are available for the next generation of safeguards technologies. Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software (GADRAS) and the Separation Safeguards Performance Model (SSPM) were used to build...

Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing with the Current Capabilities of MOOSE and Marmot

Creator:: VandenBroeder, Gavin T.
Abstract:: Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing (IIT) is a material characterization technique that is used to determine mechanical properties. The size effects present at this scale make it difficult to expand findings to a bulk scale. Modeling can be used to bridge this gap and better understand nanoscale IIT and the size...

Skin depth dose response of an ionization chamber and a thermo-luminescent dosimeter system using low energy X-rays

Creator:: Fowler, Adam (Adam James)
Abstract:: The use of Ionization Chambers and Thermo-luminescent dosimeters (TLD's) in the medical field has established a need to determine if the skin depth dose response is comparable between the two detectors. This research will determine if the dose response from an Ionization chamber is comparable to a Thermo-luminescent dosimeter system...

Organic Phase Inter-Ligand and Metal-Ligand Speciation in TALSPEAK and ALSEP Solvent Extraction Systems

Creator:: Gullekson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Partitioning of trivalent actinides (in particular, americium and curium) from the fission produced light lanthanides is a major concern of used nuclear fuel reprocessing for the purposes of waste disposal. Several solvent extraction processes have been developed to address these chemically difficult separations. The historically employed TALSPEAK Process utilizes di-2-ethylhexyl...

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...
