Dorin, Jake Connor (2022-10-19)Radiation detection software is a critical component of detection systems used to identify and ultimately prevent the spread of harmful radiation. Monitoring is critical for a variety of settings which include security, ...
-
Halvic, Ian William (2022-10-06)This work presents a parametric, non-intrusive, data-driven reduced-order model (ROM) for parametric multigroup radiation transport. Full-order models (FOMs) for radiation transport are often costly in terms of computational ...
-
Balerio, Robert Benjamin (2022-11-21)In the commercial nuclear power industry, there is a vested interest in improving the properties of the reactor components. Improving nuclear reactor materials to resist the severe structural changes and degradation not ...
-
Cook, Katie MacArthur (2019-01-11)When it comes to saving lives after a destructive and catastrophic crisis, urban search and res-cue (USAR) dogs are an essential emergency response component, where each dog can perform the equivalent work of 20 to 30 ...
-
Tsorxe, Innocent Y (2017-03-02)“Disaster City” is a 52-acre mock city that serves as a training facility for emergency responders. Emergency responders from distant locations come to Disaster City (DC) for search and rescue training and exercises. The ...
-
Hundley, Grant Richard (2012-02-14)It remains unlikely that a terrorist organization could produce or procure an actual nuclear weapon. However, the construction of a radiological dispersal device (RDD) from commercially produced radioactive sources and ...
-
Wagner, Jackson Nicholas (2021-04-14)Nuclear security operators employ gamma radiation spectroscopy and neutron counting techniques to locate radiological materials, particularly those that may be used for nuclear terrorism. One such method employed is the ...
-
Pritchard, Megan L (2014-05-03)A new approach to- and method for characterization of fissile nuclide contaminated soils and process piping has been developed and implemented for low and intermediate level wastes, using new calibration bases for photon ...
-
Ang, Wei Eng (2022-03-15)In this work, semiconductor CEνNS detector response to reactor antineutrinos is studied. In particular, pulse height distributions and reaction rates are used for nonproliferation and power-monitoring analysis of a research ...
-
Martinson, Sean P (2022-12-08)The ever-changing global geopolitical landscape greatly influences how nuclear threats grow and evolve. To counteract these threats, equal growth must be present in the research and development (R&D) sector to counter the ...
-
Quick, Costner Mclaine (2018-05-31)An active well coincidence counter (AWCC) is used for Nondestructive Assay (NDA) of special nuclear material. This counter was developed for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to perform in field inspections. ...
-
Cantrell, Tyler Lee (2015-05-06)The demand for radionuclides used in positron emission tomography (PET) must be met if the role for PET in Nuclear Medicine is to be expanded. The best method for supplying PET radionuclides to satellite PET facilities is ...
-
Armstrong, Anna G. (2021-04-26)The original molten salt reactor (MSR) concepts were developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the 1960s. Increasing energy demands and concerns about global CO2 emissions have emphasized the need for advanced ...
-
Elmore, Royal A (2014-10-03)Realistically, no two nuclear proliferating or defensive entities are exactly identical; Agent Based Modeling (ABM) is a computational methodology addressing the uniqueness of those facilitating or preventing nuclear ...
-
Hellfeld, Daniel (2015-05-06)Cubic meter sized liquid scintillator detectors have demonstrated that the operational status, power level, and changes in fuel composition of a critical nuclear reactor system can be remotely measured with the antineutrino ...
-
Martin, Michael S. (2013-08-13)Embedding metal nanoparticles in crystalline silicon possesses numerous possible applications to fabricate optoelectronic switches, increase efficiency of radiation detectors, decrease the thickness of monocrystalline ...
