Using Nuclear Materials To Prevent Nuclear Proliferation
Efforts to halt proliferation of nuclear weapons are threatened by vulnerability of weapons-usable material to smuggling especially in Russia. Mixing 232 U into highlyenriched uranium (HEU) makes it readily observable and harder to steal. Adding a proportion of 233 U associated with a specific storage site enables attribution to be performed on stolen HEU that has been recovered. Incorporating ...
متن کاملHybrid Phantom Applications to Nuclear Medicine
Annually, many people are irradiated for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Assessment of radiation dose and its related risks to patients are important issues in radiation protection dosimetry. The complex mathematical calculations of the absorbed and effective doses are now done with computers. The calculations are performed with the help of anthropomorphic computational models of human bod...
متن کاملComplexity in nuclear materials.
Nuclear power remains a contentious issue for many. Its proponents point towards it being a cost-competitive, feasible route for meeting our ever growing appetite for energy, with relatively low greenhouse gas emissions (Nature Mater. 7, 679; 2008). Those against a nuclear-led energy policy cite concerns over the devastating impact a nuclear incident can have, as well as the complex scientific ...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Nuclear Materials
In general, thermodynamics is the study of laws governing processes which involve heat changes. It includes the study of conditions under which various substances exist in chemical equilibria, the consequences of chemical reactions and the interchange of heat and other forms of energy when a chemical re action occurs. In the field of nuclear technology, it is necessary to know how construction ...
متن کاملRadiation dose to the nuclear medicine nurses
Background: People who have been administrated radiopharmaceuticals could be a source of radiation to their relatives, medical nurses, and people who are in contact with them. The aim of this work was to estimate radiation dose received by nuclear medicine nurses. Materials and Methods: In this study, the dose rates at various distances of 5 – 100 cm from 70 patients, who were administered diag...
