Comparative studies of fission fragment and electron beam driven solid-state lasers and reactor-laser system modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)A model for a Solid State Nuclear Pumped Laser (SSNPL) system was developed. The model consists of alternating layers of GaN, pure uranium metal, and diamond. The MCNP simulations are used to estimate the minimum core size ... -
Design and testing of optimal personal protective equipment for high energy radiation on earth and beyond
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)This study incorporates an experimental and an associated modeling investigation of human protective shielding methodologies for two extreme environments: first responders or military personnel in the case of nuclear or ... -
Inertial electrostatic confinement: theoretical and experimental studies of spherical devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) is a means to confine ions for fusion purposes with electrostatic fields in a converging geometry. Its engineering simplicity makes it appealing when compared to magnetic confinement ... -
