Assessment of Acute Radiation Outside Low Earth Orbit: Likelihood and Integration for Mission Risks Over, Sarah Elizabeth (2017-01-05)For human spaceflight missions outside low Earth orbit, there is an increased risk to astronaut health due to space radiation. Solar particle events are one of the components of space radiation that constitute this risk ...

Gonzalez, Yesenia Amanda (2016-10-06)A proton recoil detector was acquired from LND, Inc. to be used in neutron counting experiments with an 241AmBe source. Neutrons elastically scatter off of and ionize hydrogen atoms creating protons that can be detected. ...
-
Lazarine, Alexis Dawn (2009-05-15)The need for pathogen-free water supplies has spurred investigations into the use of ionizing radiation for the treatment of wastewater effluent and municipal biosolids. The objective of this research was to develop an ...
-
Kulage, Zachary Andrew (2013-11-04)Acts of terrorism and the use of explosives raise concerns about what can be done to prevent such acts. From stopping such a threat to preventing the illicit counterfeiting and smuggling of sensitive and proprietary goods, ...

Harahsheh, Talal Bader (2017-05-09)The current shortage of the widely used radionuclide ^99mTc has raised many concerns in the nuclear medicine industry. The shortage is caused by the outdated method of production using highly enriched uranium (HEU) and ...
-
Martin, John Francis (2015-07-14)Tensioned metastable fluid detectors are a novel detector concept with a wide array of potential uses. A particularly interesting application is as a real-time alpha and neutron detector that is also insensitive to gamma ...
-
Myers, Christopher 1985- (2012-11-29)The international community faces a growing threat from nuclear terrorism. The complexity of the threats of nuclear terrorism, the variety of nuclear security measures that States can devote resources towards to address ...
-
Kong, Tae Young (2016-08-04)The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering a revision of the existing system of radiation protection regulations with respect to ICRP Publication 103. It is expected that there will be a change in the ...

Lancon, Trevor (2014-08-14)The purpose of this research was to determine the viability of using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) to quantify silver nanoparticle (AgNP) content in biological matrices in the context of pathology evaluations ...
-
Alvarez, Hope Anna (2016-02-09)The objective of this research project was to create a computer simulation in SIMULINK® to model the distribution and retention of uranium in rats using a compilation of published experimental data that has been acquired ...
-
Kelly, Ryan Patrick (2013-05-01)The objective of this thesis is to quantify the uncertainty in radiation dose rate estimates outside of a used fuel dry cask storage unit due to the parametric variability of concrete composition and density. This requires ...
