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 ... -
Adsorption of water vapor by selected containment aerosols : chlorides and cement dust
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The macroscopic adsorption isotherms of water vapor on selected containment aerosols of a nuclear reactor such as cesium iodide, cesium chloride, ... -
Comparison and development of hurricane electrical power system damage models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)This document summarizes work done at Los Alamos national lab on Hurricane damage prediction, specifically, to the electrical power grid. An older, heuristic model is compared with a new automated heuristic method and a ... -
Construction of a test chamber for ultra-low gas concentrations and its use for tesing novel aluminum nitride sensors by Q-DLTS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A novel sensor comprised of a metallized wide band-gap semiconductor substrate and a software-based Charge-Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (Q-DLTS) ... -
Modification of materials for high oxidation resistance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)As a result of high oil prices and the increase effects of greenhouse gases due to the combustion of fossil fuels is necessary to find other sources of energy. Hydrogen has the potential to replace part of the fossil fuel ... -
Modification of nano and micro-phase diamond powder for enhancement of hydrogen storage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Micron and nano-phase diamond powders were doped with boron in order to change their various chemical properties. Diamond possesses several technologically ... -
Novel techniques towards improving helical tomotherapy delivery and quality assurance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] TomoTherapy (TomoTherapy, Inc., Madison, WI), an Image-Guided Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IG-IMRT) modality, has been used to treat a variety ... -
Surface characterization and measurements of adhesion force between graphite clustered particles and Hastelloy X surface using an atomic force microscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This work reports preliminary results on the determination of the adhesion forces between a graphite cluster probe and Hastelloy X samples having ... -
Total hemispherical emissivity of very high temperature reactor (VHTR) candidate materials : Hastelloy X, Haynes 230, and Alloy 617
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)An experimental system was constructed in accordance with the standard ASTM C835-06 to measure the total hemispherical emissivity of structural materials of interest in Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) systems. The ... -
Transport of helium and fission product gases in porous/fractured geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Measuring and quantifying the transport of helium and fission products in reactor materials is a critical element in the future success of Very High ...
