Carbon scattering spectrometer for intense gamma-ray sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)In this work, a carbon scattering spectrometer was designed to measure the spectrum of intense gamma-rays emitted from a partially processed sample of 99Mo extracted from fission products. This sample contains additional ... -
Cross correlation calculations and neutron scattering analysis for portable solid state neutron detection system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)In efforts to perform accurate dosimetry, Oakes et al. [Nucl. Intrum. Mehods. (2013)] introduced a new portable neutron dosimeter for spectroscopy applications. The system utilizes high thermal efficiency Li-6 based detectors ... -
Development of MURR flux trap model for simulation and prediction of sample loading reactivity worth and isotope production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is the highest power university research reactor in America. It has been supplying various radioisotopes for more than 20 years. The flux trap, locating in the center island ... -
The dissolution rate of unirratiated UO₂ under repository conditions: the influence of fuel and water chemistry, dissolved oxygen, and temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)As part of the performance assessments of proposed geologic repositories the effects of temperature, dissolved O₂, and water and fuel chemistry on the dissolution rates of spent fuel are necessary to provide a quantitative ... -
Fuel depletion analyses at the Missouri University Research Reactor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In developing, assembling and updating safety analysis cases for nuclear power and research reactors, fuel depletion plays a major role and ultimately ... -
Maximum hypothetical accident analysis for HEU to LEU fuel conversion at the University of Missouri Research Reactor

Modeling and analysis of a portable, solid-state neutron detection system for spectroscopic applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)This paper discusses a new neutron detection system that allows local volumetric identification of fast neutron thermalization in the context of forming a solid state Bonner-like neutron spectrometer. The resulting departure ... -
Neutron exposure from electrom linear accelerators and a proton accelerator : measurements and simulations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The risk of developing radiation induced secondary cancers in patients undergoing external beam radiotherapy is a concern; particularly from secondary neutrons generated during delivery of high energy photon and proton ... -
Process management and scheduing [sic] in radiation therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Management of complex, advanced technology, high cost, and high risk operations requires reliance on systems engineering principles. This approach has ... -
Two-phase flow dynamics by real-time neutron imaging in oscillating heat pipe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Neutron imaging can produce unique images of objects making it a useful nondestructive technique with various applications in science and industry. Oscillating heat pipes (OHP) are being studied as a higher performance way ... -
Voxel based beta particle dosimetry methods in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Radionuclide therapy cancer agents require dose information to determine efficacy in preliminary animal studies. Patient specific techniques for ...
