This work illustrates a methodology based on photon interrogation and coincidence counting for determining the characteristics of fissile material. The feasibility of the proposed methods was demonstrated using the Monte Carlo-based MCNPX/MCNPPoliMi code system capable of simulating the full statistics of the neutron and photon field generated by the photon interrogation of fissile and non-fiss...

The Supercritical-Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) is the Generation IV reactor concept most closely related to current light water reactors (LWRs). The SCWR builds on the vast experience with today’s LWRs and supercritical coal-fired power plants. Water at supercritical state is used as moderator and coolant, and reaches a temperature of about 500 ◦C at the core outlet, which enables a much higher ...

Expected backgrounds in the final accelerator-to-target region of the European Spallation Source, to be built in Lund, Sweden, have been calculated using the MCNPX program. We consider the effects of losses from the beam, both along the full length and localised at the bending magnets, and also backsplash from the target. The prompt background is calculated, and also the residual dose, as a fun...

Objective: Different categories are available for estimating of radiation dose. Radioisotopes with the same energy and almost the same physical properties have similar effects. Monte Carlo technique is a computerized method based on mathematical simulation of physical processes. The main purpose of this study is to show that beta particles are not able to penetrate deep into the water. also dif...

در این کار پژوهشی، نمونه‌های هیدروکسی اپتایت آلاییده با ناخالصی‌های سریم، گادولونیم و ترکیبی از دو ناخالصی به روش هیدروترمال سنتز شدند. منظور بررسی فازهای بلوری تشکیل یافته هرکدام شده، کد MAUD که یک نرم‌افزار برای تجزیه تحلیل ساختار ماده استفاده پراش بر اساس ریتولد است، شد. پاسخ دزیمتری ترمولومینسانس نمونه‌ها مورد قرار گرفت یافته‌ها نشان داد نمونه‌ ترکیبی، سطح میانی است. مشخص شد افزودن سریم می‌...

background: recent studies in eye plaque brachytherapy have shown a considerable difference between the dosimetric results using water phantom and a model of human eye containing realistic materials. in spite of this fact, there is a lack of simulation studies based on such a model in proton therapy literatures. in the presented work, the effect of utilizing an eye model with ocular media on pr...
