The adsorption of fission products on VHTR structural materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is being considered as a candidate for the next generation of nuclear reactors. There are several areas that require further study in VHTR reactor designs. One such area is the ... -
Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanoparticles have unique electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of the bulk ... -
Measurement of fission product diffusion in VHTR materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Measuring and quantifying the diffusion of fission products in reactor materials is a critical element of the future success of Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTRs). While the extreme temperatures, which may be in excess ... -
Numerical solutions to the Poisson equation in media surrounding multiple arbitrarily shaped bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The dissertation describes a general, efficient, and parallelized approach to solving the Poisson equation in the volume surrounding multiple, arbitrarily ...
