Effects of beta radiation on nanostructured semiconductor devices for low energy radiation sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Beta radiation detection currently relies primarily on scintillation detectors. However, the construction of these detectors tends to be large which significantly limits their applicability for field-use. A nanostructured ...
Startup, transition core, and molybdenum-99 production upgrade analyses for low-enriched uranium fuel conversion at the University of Missouri research reactor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Under the direction of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Material Management and Minimization (M3) Reactor Conversion Program, the University of Missouri ...
Influence of inert gases on heat and mass transfer in next-generation nuclear reactors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Inert gases cause some unique challenges in nuclear fuel development. In this dissertation, we study the impact of inert gases on the transport behavior in nextgeneration fission and fusion reactors. Uranium--molybdenum ...
Novel methods of evaluating materials in extreme environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Three novel experiments were completed to investigate the difference in radiation response between production methods of Inconel 625. Production methods explored were the laser-powder bed fusion additive manufacturing ...
Phonons and thermal neutron scattering in [gamma]-U and U-Mo alloys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Elimination of high-enrichment uranium fuels in research and test reactors around the world is one of the many efforts that supports the goal of minimizing proliferation risks. These efforts have pushed for the development ...
Development of a novel titanium thermal ionization cavity source for electromagnetic radioisotope separation of samarium and other lanthanide isotopes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
An available supply of high specific activity radioisotopes was identified by the Department of Energy as a critical priority to the development and eventual deployment of next-generation medical diagnostic and cancer ...
