O n November 14 SNMMI announced that it had submitted comments to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on its open petition for rulemaking, addressing regulation revisions for radionuclides and their corresponding activities on the NRC list of “Quantities of Licensed Material Requiring Labeling.” The NRC also received a petition for rulemaking from Matthew McKinley on behalf of the Organizat...

Recent neutrino oscillation experiments used high atomic number nuclear targets to attain sufficient interaction rates. The use of these complex introduced systematic uncertainties due the effects in experimental observables and need be measured properly pin down discovery. Through this simulation work, we are trying quantify argon (Ar) target comparison hydrogen (H) which proposed at Deep Unde...

Abstract. The signal of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be enhanced by several orders magnitude using hyperpolarization. In comparison to a broadly used dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technique that is already in clinical trials, the parahydrogen (pH2)-based hyperpolarization approaches are less cost-intensive, scalable, and offer high throughput. However, pH2 generator necessary. Avai...

The portable generators are the main means of compensating the shortage of national electricity power as in Iraq. However, their noise causes a huge disturbance, uncomforting and loss of concentration of the nearby resident. This problem requires a solution because most shops and residential houses use generators. Covering method is a simple and relatively low cost one for reduction of generato...

This study presents an innovative and simple way to increase the rate of heat transfer in a spiral plate heat exchanger model. Several circular cross-section rods, as continuous vortex generators, have been inserted within the spiral plate heat exchanger in the cross-stream plane. The vortex generators are located at various azimuth angles of α=30◦, 60◦, 90◦, and 120◦ with non-dimensional diame...

The MARS code is under continuous development and has recently undergone substantial improvements that further increase its reliability and predictive power in numerous shielding, accelerator, detector and space applications. The major developments and new features of the MARS15 (2004) version described in this paper concern an extended list of elementary particles and arbitrary heavy ions and ...

Precise measurements of hadron production on nuclear targets are vital for the design of a future neutrino factory and important for the tuning of hadron generators such as Geant4. The hadron yield must be known as a function of the energy and the production angle of the secondary particles. We report on HARP-CDP measurements of double-differential inclusive cross-sections of pion, proton and d...

A fully automated and fast pneumatic transport system for short-time activation analysis was recently developed. It is suitable for small nuclear research reactors or laboratories that are using neutron generators and other neutron sources. It is equipped with a programmable logic controller, software package, and 12 devices to facilitate optimal analytical procedures. 550 ms were only necessar...

Energy is required for everything that we do, and it is the most important thing after food, upon which the life of nations depend. Lack of power could cause economies to cripple. A flourishing power generation industry is considered to be a sign of prosperity for any nation. We get electricity from electric power generators that create electricity from natural power sources, such as water, coa...

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is used for in-service inspection of tubes in steam generators, heat exchangers and condensers in nuclear or conventional power plants as well as in chemical installations. ECT is particularly attractive because it offers both very high detectability and high scanning speeds. Direct contact with test material or a coupling medium is not necessary and the test is easil...
