(Texas A&M University, 1996)This study was performed in order to determine absorbed doses from scattered radiation to personnel during routine equine radiographic procedures and to determine if the protective apparel adequately reduced exposure from ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Early studies show that some types of glass can become conductors of electricity at higher temperatures. The nature of the conductance was shown to be ionic. The studies also showed that, due to structural properties within ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1993)Determination of the alpha track density in the cellulose nitrate (CN) dielectric version of solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) has traditionally been tedious work which produced results that relied upon the person ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)An easier way to perform a complete radionuclide analysis was investigated for this thesis. Complex chemical separations are not always possible or practical in preparation for counting a sample, especially a very small ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)While the use of Monte Carlo method has been prevalent in nuclear engineering, it has yet to fully blossom in the study of solute transport in porous media. By using an etched-glass micromodel, an attempt is made to apply ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 1994)The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently studying a variety of mission scenarios designed to establish a permanent human presence on the surface of Mars. Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP) is ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Application of strict NRC regulation to older nuclear facilities raises safety concerns that would otherwise have been overlooked. This paper looks at a specific operation that has been abandoned for thirty years. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1998)Treatment of Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM) requires the occlusion of the unwanted arteries. Irradiation of a blood vessel wall with beta particles causes it to be permanently blocked by multiplication of the endothelial ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1997)Neutron fluence-to-dose equivalent conversion factors are calculated for three types of finger and wrist extremity phantoms: (1) the polymethyl methacrylate models specified by the U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)Research was performed to study the etching characteristics and sensitivities of commercially available polycarbonate track detectors and to compare them to cellulose nitrate film, Kodak LR-1 15 II. The polycarbonate film ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1997)Research was performed to determine track density as a function of radon exposure in water and exposure temperature for the track etch detectors Kodak LR II 5 Type 2 and CR-39. Films were submerged in water containing a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)The Department of Energy Laboratory Accreditation Program (DOELAP) located at the Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) at Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory is charged with evaluating ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)A portable neutron survey instrument calibration facility was examined to determine its basic characteristics. The facility uses two, 10 curie 239pu-beryllium neutron sources. The techniques used to assess the facility ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)The 23rd nuclear accident dosimetry intercomparison was held during the week of June 12-16, 1995 at Los Alamos National Laboratory. This report presents the results of this event, referred to as NAD 23, as related to the ...
