Transmutation detectors for fast neutron fluence measurements [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Transmutation detectors (TMDs) are based on a similar principle as neutron activation detectors (NADs). In both cases, the neutron fluence is estimated from the number of reactions in the detectors.

Test of Fibre Bragg Gratings samples under High Fast Neutrons Fluence [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
Optical fibre sensors (OFS) are worthy of interest for measurements in nuclear reactor thanks to their unique features, particularly compact size and remote multi-point sensing for some of them.

Calculation and analysis of fast neutron fluence of pressure vessel in AP1000 reactor [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The structural integrity of the reactor pressure vessel plays an important role in the safe operation of AP1000 nuclear power plant. Radiation damage of fast neutrons is the main factor leading to pressure vessel material deterioration.

Fast Neutron Fluence Rate Measurement for the Neutron Beams at IHNI-1

Journal of Isotopes, 2017
To validate and determine the contamination source term of fast neutrons produced by the first in-Hospital Neutron Irradiator (IHNI-1) for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a boron-covered 235U fission chamber was designed to be used for the ...

Systematic review of physical and dosimetric criteria for managing CIEDs in radiotherapy: A medical physicist's perspective. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Aim Current radiotherapy (RT) guidelines for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) are largely based on clinical management strategies and retrospective reports. This systematic review adopts a medical physics perspective to provide a critical, quantitative analysis of the technical evidence required for developing robust safety ...

A Method to Estimate the Fast-Neutron Fluence for the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb [PDF]

Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 1994
A new method to estimate the fast-neutron fluence of the Hiroshima atomic bomb is proposed. 63 Ni produced by the 63 Cu(n, p) 63 Ni reaction provides a unique measure by which to estimate the fast-neutron fluence of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic bombs, because the half-life of 63 Ni is 100 years and 70% of the 63 Ni produced in a copper piece presently

An ion treatment planning framework for inclusion of nanodosimetric ionization detail through cluster dose. [PDF]

Med Phys
Abstract Background Nanodosimetry relates the cumulative or statistical moments of Ionization Detail (ID) with biological endpoints of relevance to cancer radiotherapy using charged particles. This association suggests to develop an additional physics‐detailed layer of modeling that may complement biological modeling and treatment planning.

Electrical Conductivity of GMZ Grade Graphite as a Function of Fast Neutron Fluence

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials
The electrical conductivity of GMZ grade graphite irradiated by fast neutrons with fluence of 2.22*1019 n/cm 2 in the temperature range of 298e448 K was studied. It is shown that the more neutrons fluence, than the more the electrical conductivity of the

Modelling of a SiC Based Detector for the Interpretation of 14.1 MeV Neutrons Measurements [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
Wide-bandgap semiconductor-based fast neutron detectors such as silicon carbide (SiC) seem to be a promising concept to meet the implementation requirements as well as the performance specifications for fusion and fission environments such as radiation ...

Electrical characteristics and deep-level transient spectroscopy of a fast-neutron-irradiated 4H–SiC Schottky barrier diode

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
The dependence of the electrical characteristics on the fast neutron fluence of an epitaxial 4H–SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) was investigated. The 30 MeV cyclotron was used for fast neutron irradiation.
