Design and Shakedown Testing of an Aqueous Dynamic Reference Electrode

Creator:

Brackbill, Anneli

Abstract:

For next-generation molten salt reactors, there is a need to be able to characterize the corrosion of the molten salts contained within them. One such tool that may be used to accomplish this is a dynamic ref- erence electrode, or DRE. Here, an aqueous dynamic reference electrode (aDRE) was developed,...

Comparative analysis of the Žukauskas method and data from the OSU MASLWR test facility steam generator

Creator:

Wuth, Bradyn J.

Abstract:

Some of the next generation of small modular reactors have been designed with helically coiled steam generators integrated into the reactor vessel to enhance natural circulation. According to the developers of TASS/SMR, a one-dimensional thermal hydraulic code written to model the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute's SMART reactor, the Žukauskas...

An Active Interrogation Technique Based on Photofission for Non-destructive Assay of Used Nuclear Fuel

Creator:

Wen, Xianfei

Abstract:

High-energy delayed γ-rays from photofission were demonstrated to be signatures for detection and identification of special nuclear materials. Such γ-rays were measured in between linac pulses using independent data acquisition systems. A list-mode system was developed to measure low-energy delayed γ-rays after irradiation. Photofission product yields of ²³⁸U and ²³⁹Pu...
