In this paper, the interactions of low-energy muons (E < 10 MeV) with natural silicon, the basic material of microelectronics, are studied by Geant4 and SRIM simulation. The study is circumscribed to muons susceptible to slowdown/stop in the targe...
Reactor design requires safety studies to ensure that the reactors will behave appropriately under incidental or accidental situations. Safety studies often involve multiphysics simulations where several branches of reactor physics are necessary to m...
High temperature corrosion of fuel cladding material (15-15Ti) in high burn-up situations has been an important topic for molten metal-cooled Gen-IV reactors. The present study aims to investigate the simultaneous impact of liquid lead (coolant side)...
Understanding the behaviour of a neutron spectrum with burnup is important for describing various phenomena associated with reactor operation. The quest to understand the neutron spectrum comes with a lot of questions. One question that is usually as...
Gamma-ray spectroscopy is an effective technique for radioactive material characterization, routine inventory verification, nuclear safeguards, health physics, and source search scenarios. Gamma-ray spectrometers typically cannot be operated in the i...
Control rod calibration experiment results for the Oregon State TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) immediately following LEU conversion in 2008, and MCNP® 5 predicted rod worths from the 2008 LEU Conversion Safety Analysis Report (CSAR) are discussed. The...
The accurate calculation of reactor core heating is vital for the design and safety analysis of reactor physics. However, negative KERMA factors may be produced when processing and evaluating libraries of the nuclear data files ENDF/B-VII.1 and ENDF/...
