A thermal hydraulics analysis of a molybdenum production element for implementation in TRIGA reactors

Creator:

Byfield, Patrick

Abstract:

The metastable isotope of technetium-99 (Tc-99m) is an important diagnostic tool used in the field of nuclear medicine due to the isotope's 6.0 hour half-life, 140.5 keV γ-decay mechanism, and multiple oxidation states [1,2]. Approximately 70% of the world’s nuclear medicine procedures involve the use of Tc-99m [3]. The conventional...

Comparison of HEU and LEU neutron spectra in irradiation facilities at the Oregon State TRIGA® reactor

Creator:

Schickler, Robert

Abstract:

In 2008, the Oregon State TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) was converted from highly-enriched uranium (HEU) fuel lifetime improvement plan (FLIP) fuel to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. This effort was driven and supported by the Department of Energy's (DoE's) Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) program. The basis behind the...

Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis of niobium for characterization of light interstitials

Creator:

Love, Ian J.

Abstract:

High purity niobium metal is used in the construction of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities in superconducting particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN or the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The usual method for characterizing the impurities in this niobium, the...
