In nuclear and industrial facilities, fine particles, including radioactive residues—can accumulate on the interior surfaces of ventilation ducts and equipment, posing serious safety and operational risks.
High-gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) is a non-destructive separation technique that captures magnetic constituents from a matrix containing other non-magnetic species. One characteristic that actinide metals share across much of the group is that they are magnetic.
The lattice collimator places a grid of shielding material in front of a radiation detector to reduce the effect of background from surrounding materials and to enhance the RPM sensitivity to point sources rather than distributed sources that are commonly associated with Natur
A novel approach is presented herein to improve time to onset of natural convection stemming from fuel element porosity during a failure mode of a nuclear reactor.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
This technology provides a device, platform and method of fabrication of new atomically tailored materials. This “synthescope” is a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) transformed into an atomic-scale material manipulation platform.
The need for accurate temperature measurement in critical environments such as nuclear reactors is paramount for safety and efficiency.
