Radiation Shielding for Space Nuclear Propulsion

Creator:

Caffrey, Jarvis

Abstract:

Nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) is a viable technology for near-term interplanetary exploration. Of the candidate mission architectures that are currently available for a crewed Mars mission, NTP permits the greatest flexibility in launch window selection and provides the shortest possible trip time, thereby reducing risks associated with cosmic ray exposure,...

Dissertation
Design and analysis of radiation shielding eyewear

Creator:

Spackman, David A.

Abstract:

The recent reductions to the international dose limit recommendations for the lens of the eye have renewed interest in radiation protection strategies in interventional fluoroscopy, where eye-lens radiation exposure occurs frequently. Radiationshielding eyewear can significantly reduce lens dose in these scenarios, but accurate protection factors are elusive because they depend...

Masters Thesis
Experimental shielding evaluation of the radiation protection provided by residential structures

Creator:

Dickson, Elijah D.

Abstract:

The human health and environmental effects following a postulated accidental release of radioactive material to the environment has been a public and regulatory concern since the early development of nuclear technology and researched extensively to better understand the potential risks for accident mitigation and emergency planning purposes. The objective of...

Dissertation
A comparison of measured and simulated exposure rates near tungsten-based medical transport pigs

Creator:

Newman, Errol D. I.

Abstract:

A lack of data concerning tungsten-based medical shields, specifically unit dose transport pigs, may lead to unnecessary exposure to medical personnel. Available research comparing lead to sintered tungsten shows that tungsten is approximately 1.5 - 10.0 times more effective as a radiation shield. However, this research lacks high-energy vs. low-energy...
