Design of a Self-Regulating Deep Space Nuclear Reactor

Creator:: Robinson, Matthew Loren
Abstract:: An enabling technology for long duration, deep space missions is the availability of a high power, long-lived power supply. The goal of this work is the design of a self-regulating deep space nuclear reactor. The design objectives are to produce 250 kWth for a 25-year period using the presence of...

Disengaged and untrusting? Young adults' feelings of social integration and trust during the Great Recession

Creator:: Day, Jack K.
Abstract:: Navigating the transition to adulthood is fraught with challenges, especially for those coming of age during an economic crisis. Individuals often rely on support from existing social networks, and establish social capital through deepening and expanding social ties, as they establish footholds in roles marking adulthood. Yet investing in social...

How the Progression of Nuclear Technology in French Culture Has Led to a More Sustainable Country

Creator:: Moreno, Joel T.
Abstract:: Of the major players in the birth and growth of nuclear technology, France and the United States are two of the biggest. Their glaring differences in culture and political regimes, therefore, have resulted in two very different attitudes toward adoption and implementation of nuclear power. Through extensive literary research, cultural...

How clean is coal : coal power plant ash pond regulations compared to nuclear reactor decommissioning standards

Creator:: Williams, Manuel P.
Abstract:: Coal power is the prominent source of energy in the United States (U.S.) and around the world. The byproducts of coal power contain many of the same radioactive nuclides that are found in the local environment just in higher concentrations. With so much of this ash being stockpiled, the amount...

Design, construction, and characterization of a neutron depth profiling facility at the Oregon State University TRIGA® reactor with an advanced digital spectroscopy system

Creator:: Robinson, Joshua A.
Abstract:: In this work, Neutron Depth Profiling (NDP) analysis capability has been added to the Oregon State University TRIGA® Reactor Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis Facility (PGNAA). This system has been implemented with an advanced digital spectroscopy system and is capable of rise time pulse shape analysis as well as coincidence...

Dose response of zebrafish exposed to gamma radiation

Creator:: Haskins, Hillary Kate Marlane
Abstract:: Space radiation biology is an emerging field of research with a focus on improving the health and safety of astronauts in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and deep-space missions. Eye health is especially important to astronaut functionality. Recent studies have found an increased risk of cataract formation in astronauts with higher lens...

An investigation into the feasibility of neutron activating holmium-loaded, polymeric microspheres in the thermal column of a TRIGA reactor using MCNP5 simulation models

Creator:: Barreda, Gerardo E.
Abstract:: In intra-arterial radioembolization, nano- and micro-scaled carriers are used in patients with liver tumors that cannot be removed by surgery to deliver various radioisotopes with the aim of improving the outcome of tumor radiotherapy, of minimizing dose to healthy tissue, and of improving the quality of the diagnosis and imaging....

Developing safety performance functions for 4-leg single-lane roundabouts based on Oregon data : a case study

Creator:: Zheng, Jianfei
Abstract:: Roundabouts have become an alternative for traditional intersections due to the safer operational performance. Previous research has provided crash modification factors (CMFs) as a criterion based on before-after studies as to evaluate the safety performance of roundabouts. One drawback of assessment based on crash modification factors, however, is that a...

A quest to redefine feminine heroism : heroines of the Brothers Grimm and Angela Carter

Creator:: Butler, Kelly E.
Abstract:: Literary fairy tales facilitate a specific inquiry into heroine quests. Due to the flexibility of the fairy tale genre, a variety of heroine tales have been produced. The specific stages of a heroine quest must be described in order to understand the direction and goals of these quests. In order...
