Analysis of the antineutrino rate during CANDU reactor startup

Creator:: Matthews, Christopher
Abstract:: Detection systems used to monitor reactor operations are of significant interest as tools for verification of operator declarations. Current reactor site safeguards are limited to visual inspections and intrusive monitoring systems. The recent development of antineutrino detectors may soon allow real-time monitoring from an unobtrusive location. Antineutrinos are produced through...

A study of the application of lean practices to new product development processes

Creator:: Choothian, Woraruthai
Abstract:: The application of lean to new product development (NPD) processes has been claimed to generate positive impact on NPD performance. There are very few empirical studies, however, on how organizations should apply lean practices or on the exact nature of the impact of lean on NPD performance. To further understand...

Probabilistic risk assessment of a vented fuel system utilized in a generation IV gas-cooled fast reactor nuclear power plant

Creator:: Lenhof, Renae
Abstract:: A limited scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) of a vented nuclear fuel system for a Generation IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant was performed. The goal of the study was to better understand the safety and licensing implications of vented fuel technology. A Level 1 PRA was performed to determine the...

An investigation of transition from penetration to deflection in the fracture of bi-material interfaces

Creator:: Strom, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The problem of determining whether a crack impinging on an interface will penetrate into the substrate or deflect along the interface is vital to the effective design of layered and composite material systems. Of particular interest is the transition between crack propagation by penetration through an interface and deflection along...

Retrospective thermal neutron fluence determination using lithium-ion mobile telephone batteries

Creator:: Dorrell, Nick J.
Abstract:: Fortuitous dosimeters are radiosensitive objects carried by an individual who was exposed to radiation. These objects can be analyzed some time after exposure and the results can be used to aid in calculating radiation fields and doses received by individuals. Items that make good fortuitous dosimeters are those that are...

CFD analysis of pressure differentials in a plate-type fuel assembly

Creator:: Roth, Gable D.
Abstract:: The Hydro-Mechanical Fuel Test Facility (HMFTF) is being built at Oregon State University to evaluate fluid flow through plate-type fuel assemblies. The first plate assembly that will be examined in the facility is the Generic Test Plate Assembly (GTPA). The GTPA consists of an array of six parallel flat plates,...

An analysis of the prompt effects of an indoor, non-explosive radiological dispersal device utilizing cesium-137 or cobalt-60

Creator:: Melnick, Stefan T.
Abstract:: The advances in the nuclear sciences over the past sixty years have yielded many beneficial technologies and applications, such as power generation, food irradiation, and medical diagnostic devices and techniques. However, these advances have also allowed the advent of nuclear and radiological weapons. This paper will focus on one type...

Calculation of Pulse height distributions from deterministic transport simulations

Creator:: Benz, Jacob M.
Abstract:: In source-detector radiation transport simulations, pulse height distributions are a useful metric in assessing the effectiveness of nuclear instrumentation. In the area of spectroscopy, pulse height distributions are used to identify an unknown source. It is widely believed that pulse height distributions cannot be created using deterministic methods. This quantity...

Distortion-induced fatigue cracking of girder-to-crossbeam connection

Creator:: Aljutaili, Dhari S.
Abstract:: Oregon Department of Transportation’s bridge no. 9743b is a multi-span, two-girder steel deck bridge connecting the busy interstates 5 and 205. Vertical cracks have been detected in the welded girder-to-crossbeam connections at the bents. Distortion-induced fatigue is suspected to be responsible for the cracking. Linear elastic beam analysis, 2-D and...

Influence of subset size, shape and orientation on texture based digital image correlation

Creator:: Cui, Jianqing
Abstract:: Digital Image Correlation(DIC) is one of full-field strain measurement techniques devel- oped in recent decades, which has been well-demonstrated to conduct the mechanical properties study of solid materials, by collecting data using digital cameras. X-ray to- mography(CT) imaging helps the correlation techniques expanded to three dimensional investigation of materials, known...
