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...

-2010 Format AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Andrew J. Hummel for the
Accelerating the convergence of the k-eigenvalue problem using a coarse mesh finite differencing scheme in cylindrical geometry

Creator:

Hummel, Andrew J.

Abstract:

Reactor modeling is largely limited by the computational time required to perform accurate full core calculations. There are many different methods and techniques employed in different reactor simulation codes, but properly modeling all of the physics that takes place in the system requires extensive computational effort. The Coarse Mesh Finite...
