Use of GIS software to map contaminant distributions and determine integrated dose for purposes of assessing impact to biota

Creator:: Myers, Margaret C.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to estimate the radiological impact on various non-human biotas by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant radiation release resulting from Japan's tsunami in March 2011 consistent with the recent recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Soil concentration data given by Japan's Ministry...

Uranyl Peroxide Cluster Formation Pathway and the Role of the Alkali Counterion

Creator:: Arteaga, Ana
Abstract:: Uranyl peroxide clusters are the newest family of polyoxometalates, discovered in 2015. Although this family is new, over 70 topologies have been reported. However, we lack the fundamental understanding of assembly mechanisms, particularly the role of the alkali countercations. Here, we use a wide range of solution and solid-state characterization...

Total Kinetic Energy Release in the Fast Neutron Induced Fission of 237Np

Creator:: Pica, Ashley
Abstract:: The total kinetic energy (TKE) in the fast neutron induced fission of 237Np was measured for neutron energies from En = 2.6 – 45.7 MeV at the LANSCE- WNR facility. The postTKE release decreases non-linearly with increasing incident neutron energy and can be represented as TKE(MeV) = (169.365 ± 1.551)...

The effects of radiolysis and hydrolysis on the stability of extraction systems for minor actinides

Creator:: Wade, Emily C.
Abstract:: Industrial reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel (INF) is one of the most complex procedures performed on a large scale; the process is intricate due to the mix of radionuclides present in INF. As a global trend for nuclear power and reprocessing continues, research is geared toward optimizing the extraction of...

The community college applied baccalaureate degree : employers' and graduates' perspectives

Creator:: Grothe, Malcolm
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to better understand the perceptions of employers and graduates regarding the applied baccalaureate degree when conferred by community colleges. By better understanding the perceptions of employers and graduates, community colleges considering offering applied baccalaureate degrees will have some context within which to begin communicating...

Survival Mediated Capture and Fusion Cross Sections for Heavy Element Synthesis

Creator:: Yao, Liangyu
Abstract:: The synthesis of superheavy element evaporation residues is described by the product of the capture cross section, fusion probability, and survival probability. Capture cross sections are moderately well known. The fusion probability is the least known with many uncertainties. The formalism for the survival probability is known, but the parameters...

Studies of heavy element multi-nucleon transfer reactions using radioactive decay analysis of the 136Xe + 198Pt reaction at a center of target lab energy of 777 MeV (5.7MeV/A)

Creator:: McCaleb, Kyle M.
Abstract:: Recent experiments have advanced the current understanding of multi-nucleon transfer(MNT) reactions. Within nuclear science, most nuclear reaction experiments consist of a stationary target material, that is then bombarded by a moving projectile. Overall nuclear reactions can be used to produce a desired isotope. In the case of this particular study...

Real-time radioxenon measurement using a Compton-suppressed well-type phoswich detector for nuclear explosion monitoring

Creator:: Alemayehu, Bemnet
Abstract:: Radioxenon detection is a technique used to monitor nuclear explosion and verify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Because of an ultra-low concentration of radioxenon at radioxenon monitoring stations, radioxenon detection systems must have high sensitivity. This sensitivity is measured in terms of detector's minimum detectable concentration (MDC). It is required...

Radiation Detection Using a Semiconducting Nanocrystal Detector

Creator:: Rinaldi, David William
Abstract:: Nanostructured material has been projected to be the next generation material for the detection of ionizing radiation due to the uniquely superior physical processes associated with charge creation and by virtue of their optoelectronic tunablility. Semiconducting Nanocrystal (NC) detectors, by nature of their low band gap material, low fabrication costs,...

Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials of Uranyl Peroxide Clusters and Uranium Minerals

Creator:: Neal, Harrison A.
Abstract:: Frontier research of non-aqueous actinide clusters is discussed. Since the inception of the uranyl peroxide clusters over the last decade, they have only been synthesized and characterized as solid crystals and in aqueous solution. This thesis provides thorough characterization of aqueous uranyl clusters and the first demonstration of uranyl cluster...
