小型飛翔体/海外 [Format 2] Technical Catalog Category
小型飛翔体/海外 [Format 2] Technical Catalog Category Airborne contamination sensor Title Depth Evaluation of Entrained Products (DEEP) Proposed by Create Technologies Ltd & Costain Group PLC 1.DEEP is a sensor analysis software for analysing contamination. DEEP can distinguish between surface contamination and internal / absorbed contamination. The software measures contamination depth by analysing distortions in the gamma spectrum. The method can be applied to data gathered using any spectrometer. Because DEEP provides a means of discriminating surface contamination from other radiation sources, DEEP can be used to provide an estimate of surface contamination without physical sampling. DEEP is a real-time method which enables the user to generate a large number of rapid contamination assessments- this data is complementary to physical samples, providing a sound basis for extrapolation from point samples. It also helps identify anomalies enabling targeted sampling startegies. DEEP is compatible with small airborne spectrometer/ processor combinations, such as that proposed by the ARM-U project – please refer to the ARM-U proposal for more details of the air vehicle. Figure 1: DEEP system core components are small, light, low power and can be integrated via USB, serial or Ethernet interfaces. 小型飛翔体/海外 Figure 2: DEEP prototype software 2.Past experience (plants in Japan, overseas plant, applications in other industries, etc) Create technologies is a specialist R&D firm with a focus on imaging and sensing in the nuclear industry.

Kinga, a Nuclear Science and Engineering Program, Colorado School of Mines (CSM), 1500 Illinois St, Hill Hall, 80401 Golden, CO, USA b Subdivisão de Dados Nucleares - Instituto de Estudos Avançados (IEAv), Trevo Coronel Aviador José Alberto Albano do Amarante, n 1, 12228-001 São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil ABSTRACT A LEU-fueled space reactor would avoid the security concerns inherent with Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) fuel and could be attractive to signatory countries of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) or commercial interests. The HEU-fueled Kilowatt Reactor Using Stirling Technology (KRUSTY) serves as a basis for a similar reactor fueled with LEU fuel. Based on MCNP6™ neutronics performance estimates, the size of a 5 kWe reactor fueled with 19.75 wt% enriched uranium-10 wt% molybdenum alloy fuel is adjusted to match the excess reactivity of KRUSTY. Then, zirconium hydride moderator is added to the core in four different configurations (a homogeneous fuel/moderator mixture and spherical, disc, and helical fuel geometries) to reduce the mass of uranium required to produce the same excess reactivity, decreasing the size of the reactor. The lowest mass reactor with a given moderator represents a balance between the reflector thickness and core diameter needed to maintain the multiplication factor equal to 1.035, with a H/D ratio of 1.81. -

Brigham Young University
ABSTRACT The ANS BYU student section formation, membership statistics, and activity summaries for the 2015-16 school year Paul Wilding SAMUEL GLASSTONE REPORT 2015-2016 American Nuclear Society – Brigham Young University INTRODUCTION Almost two years ago, Dr. Matthew Memmott, who received a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from MIT, left Westinghouse to become a professor of Chemical Engineering at Brigham Young University (BYU). There had not been any nuclear research performed at BYU since the 1970’s. With his arrival came a remarkable influx of student involvement in nuclear research and enrollment in the elective course, “Introduction to Nuclear Engineering.” There may not currently be a nuclear engineering major at BYU, but Dr. Memmott hopes to develop it soon as an emphasis or a minor. During the summer of 2015, we began our own student section of ANS, appointed leaders, and started recruiting members. We organized and went on two tours, and by the end of the summer, we had reached a size of 35 members! Our section continued to grow as we made our presence known on campus and educated our fellow students on the advantages of nuclear science/energy. We received our official student section charter in October 2015. MEMBERSHIP STATISTICS By the end of the 2015-16 academic year, these were our membership statistics: Total ANS BYU Student Section Membership 79 Total National ANS Membership 22 Students Enrolled in “Intro. to Nuclear Engineering” 40 Graduates Going into Nuclear Industry 1 Graduates Doing Graduate School in Nuclear Engineering 6 ACTIVITY SUMMARIES Tour of Energy Solutions in Clive, UT – On July 14, twenty-five student members went to tour the largest privately-owned nuclear waste facility in the United States. -
