Thermal‐hydraulic analysis of an open‐grid megawatt gas‐cooled space nuclear reactor core
The development of deep space exploration requires space nuclear reactor with higher power and better endurance. In order to meet the increasing high power requirements for space applications, an Open‐grid MEgawatt Gas‐cooled spAce nuclear reactor (OMEGA)

CONCEPTUAL FUEL ELEMENT DESIGN CANDIDATES FOR CONVERSION OF HIGH FLUX ISOTOPE REACTOR WITH LOW-ENRICHED URANIUM SILICIDE DISPERSION FUEL* [PDF]
Engineering design studies are underway to assess the feasibility of converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) to operate with low-enriched uranium silicide dispersion (LEU3Si2-Al) fuel. These studies are supported by the U.S.

Nuclear Propelled Vessels and Neutrino Oscillation Experiments [PDF]
We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrino oscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locations and times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-based neutrino oscillation ...

Reactor antineutrino monitoring with a plastic scintillator array as a new safeguards method [PDF]
We developed a segmented reactor-antineutrino detector made of plastic scintillators for application as a tool in nuclear safeguards inspection and performed mostly unmanned field operations at a commercial power plant reactor. At a position outside the reactor building, we measured the difference in reactor antineutrino flux above the ground when the ...

Model-Independent Determination of Isotopic Cross Sections per Fission for Reactor Antineutrinos [PDF]
Model-independent reactor isotopic cross sections per fission are determined by global fits of the reactor antineutrino data from High-Enriched Uranium (HEU) reactor rates, Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) reactor rates, and reactor fuel evolution data. Taking account of the implicit quasi-linear relationship between the fission fractions of $^{239}\rm{Pu ...

Rapid evaluation of particle properties using inverse SEM simulations
The characteristic X-rays produced by the interactions of the electron beam with the sample in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) are usually captured with a variable-energy detector, a process termed energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS).

A framework for the selection of the right nuclear power plant [PDF]
Civil nuclear reactors are used for the production of electrical energy. In the nuclear industry vendors propose several nuclear reactor designs with a size from 35–45 MWe up to 1600–1700 MWe.

Neutron Computerized Tomography (CT) of the non-irradiated fuel rod [PDF]
Due to the special and difficult conditions for the fuel rods inside the reactor core, inspection and quality control of the fuel after the production at the factory and before loading in the core of the reactor is essential.
