Analyzing a Canine in a Radioactive Contaminated Environment
(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 ... -
External detection and measurement of inhaled radionuclides using thermoluminescent dosimeters
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Many radiation detection programs use bio-assays, whole-body counters, or air sampling to estimate internal doses. This study examines the possibility of using a common external thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badge as ... -
Radioactive Flow Characterization for Real-Time Detection Systems in UREX+ Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing
(2011-02-22)The reprocessing of used nuclear fuel requires the dissolution and separation of numerous radioisotopes that are present as fission products in the fuel. The leading technology option in the U.S. for reprocessing is a ... -
Radon (Rn-222) and thoron (Rn-220) emanation fractions from three separate formations of oil field pipe scale
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Over the course of normal oil well operations, pipes used downhole in the oil and petroleum industry tend to accumulate a mineral deposit on their interior, which restricts the flow of oil. This deposit, termed scale, ... -
Sintered Bentonite Ceramics for the Immobilization of Cesium- and Strontium-Bearing Radioactive Waste
(2010-07-14)The Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) is a Department of Energy (DOE) program, that has been investigating technologies to improve fuel cycle sustainability and proliferation resistance. One of the program's goals is ...
