  • Modeling of the thermal behavior of irradiated sphere-pac mixed carbide fuel

    Creator:
    Ades, Maurice
    Abstract:
    Several fuels are being investigated for fast breeder reactor applications. One promising concept is sphere-pac mixed carbide fuel. As a part of the development of this fuel concept it is necessary to determine the behavior of the irradiated fuel for safe and reliable operation on a sound economic basis. It...

  • Predicting dose and cell survival distributions for brachytherapy sources

    Creator:
    Stringham, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is to determine the biological impact of dose from brachytherapy sources commonly used in cancer treatment. To achieve this goal, the Monte Carlo code PENELOPE was used to simulate point sources of four different isotopes (¹⁰³Pd, ¹²⁵I, ¹³⁷Cs, and ⁹⁰Sr) in an infinite medium of...

  • Two-dimensional temperature model for target materials bombarded by ion beams

    Creator:
    Bostick, Kent C.
    Abstract:
    The ion implantation process is a very precise, controllable, and reproducible method used to enhance material properties of finished components such as ball bearings. Essentially, the target material is bombarded by accelerated ions to form a thin alloyed layer in the substrate. As the ions deposit their kinetic energy in...
