Neutrons are generated in a fusion plasma and induce various radionuclides via nuclear reaction with reactor materials. Evaluating the kinds of nuclide amount induced radioactivity is important for decommissioning planning regular maintenance. In this study, we verified long-term prediction model large helical device (LHD) by comparing during deuterium experiments LHD results calculated using h...

The studies summarized in this paper aims to predict the steady state operation of a low-enriched uranium fuel ARGUS type aqueous homogeneous reactor for producing 99Mo meet domestic demand Brazil through coupled multi-physics (Neutronics + Thermal-hydraulics) evaluation. evaluation included aspects related neutronic behavior such as fission induced energy deposition profile, medical isotopes p...

In this research, a new technetium-99m generator has been developed with addition of Cerium oxide to alumina column.  The adsorption behaviors of 99Mo in the form of molybdate and 99mTc in the form of pertechnetate on CeO2/Al2O3 was investigated and showed that the adsorption capacity of molybdate on this generator is higher than usual generator using Al2O3. Ceric ions were selected as an addit...

I am so honored to serve as SNMMI’s 2016–2017 president. Seeing all the exciting research presented at the society’s Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA, has certainly energized me for the year ahead. I am indeed fortunate to be following Dr. Hossein Jadvar as president. Thanks to his leadership, the Therapy Center of Excellence (CoE) was established to support the development and utilization of ta...
