Molybdenum-99 production in the Oregon State TRIGA reactor : analysis of the reactor design using a new LEU target as fuel

Creator:

Hummel, Andrew J.

Abstract:

The most widely used and versatile medical radioisotope today is technetium-99m. Roughly 30 million people depend on this radioisotope for diagnostic procedures each year, and this demand is expected to grow. Although there are numerous ways of procuring this isotope, the most common and most practical, for reasons to be...

Simulated antineutrino signatures of nuclear reactors for nonproliferation applications

Creator:

Misner, Alex C.

Abstract:

Antineutrino detectors could provide a valuable addition to current safeguards regimes. Antineutrinos are an attractive emission to monitor due to their low interaction cross-section that prevents them from being shielded and the dependence of their spectrum on the power level and isotopic content of a reactor core. While there are...
