Hence, it is necessary to restrict and control exposure of human beings to these radiations. In this study we have investigated the radioprotective effectiveness of some medications sold at community pharmacies in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected and recorded for 20 drugs commonly used for different medical purposes. In order to investigate the effectiveness of these radioprotectives in terms of absorption of low and high energy photons, the effective atomic number (Zeff) of ten drugs for total photon interaction in the energy range of 1 keV to 15 MeV using WinXCom were calculated. In addition, by Geometric-Progression (G-P) method, the energy absorption (EABF) and exposure build-up factors (EBF) for incident photon energy 0.015 MeV to 15 MeV up to penetration depths of 40 mean free paths (mfp) were calculated for the ten drugs. Among the selected compounds, Captopril and Cefixime have the maximum value of Zeff, while the minimum EBF and EABF were found for Mesna, Cramastine, Thiotepa and Busflan; therefore, they are appealing as radioprotective compounds.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47515139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The internal pipe wall of EMFMs must be non-conductive to prevent generated electromotive force from short circuiting. Usually the inside of metallic pipes is lined with insulating material. The lining limits the applicable temperature range of measured fluid and also its reliability. A new structure is proposed, in which the insulating liner is eliminated and metallic pipe instead of non-insulation material. Also a servo system is applied. Therefore, the output signal is exactly the same as that of conventional EMFMs. In this paper, an analytical method based on conducting wall boundary conditions and experimental results is described.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43720766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this level of detail is lost when core calculations are performed with cross-sections homogenised over the fuel assembly. The pin power reconstruction (PPR) method can be used to get back this level of detail as accurately as possible in a small additional computing time frame compared to pin-by-pin full-core calculations. The DRAGON5 lattice code and the PARCS core code were recently interfaced. For this study, all the missing parts to be able to perform PPR were introduced in the newly developed system DRAGON5/PARCS. A major component was to set the methodology to compute the corner and assembly discontinuity factors in DRAGON5. Verification tests were performed on 12 configurations of 3x3 clusters where simulations in transport theory and in diffusion theory followed by pin-power reconstruction were compared.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47880769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Any failure in nuclear fuel and cladding, such as local melting or cracking, may cause release of radioactive fission fragments to the reactor coolant, which is an undesirable issue from the reactor safety point of view. Hence, one of the most important issues in nuclear industry is the preservation of fuel rod integrity during its lifetime. The performance of the irradiated fuel inside the reactor core is affected by various complex phenomena. The main objective of the present paper is to develop valid physical models and an accurate numerical method to study of Water-Water Energetic Reactor (VVER) fuel rod performance. The obtained model can be applied to simulate fuel performance during its lifetime. The correlations used in physical models are chosen in such a way that main parameters, such as gap pressure and fuel centre temperature, can be estimated accurately. The obtained results are in acceptable agreement with available data.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42060024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is operating for more than 50 years and was successfully simulated before. However, new techniques and methods used in nuclear reactors analysis make a further simulation inevitable. In this manuscript, the computational model of an initial core of the IPR-R1 TRIGA reactor was developed employing two different Monte Carlo codes, MCNPX and Serpent 2, to simulate the neutronics behaviour. A new model is suggested, more complete, to improve the simulations results making the model more close the experimental data. This work explores how changes could be inserted in order to make the model closer to reality and if such participation would be noticeable in both codes used. The neutronic parameters obtained from these simulations performed in Serpent 2 are compared to MCNPX simulation results at the same conditions, and the results are compared with previous experimental data.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49662551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sub-channel analysis approach was applied to determine the temperature distribution in the fuel, in the cladding and in the lead-coolant. The mathematical model is fully transient and takes into account the heat transfer in an annular fuel pellet design. The thermofluid is modelled with a mass, energy and momentum balance with thermal expansion effects. The neutronic processes are modelled with point kinetic equations for power generation with feedback fuel temperature and expansion effects. The numerical experiments consider steady-state and transient behaviours. The numerical comparison shows that a hexagonal assembly is an option to compact the size of the LFR core design. This option leads to higher temperature in the fuel and the cladding than in the case of a rectangular assembly design. Results show the LFR with square array is more sensitive to power changes than the hexagonal array at the same nominal power and with the same transient conditions.","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41371280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tests are conducted on specimens made from PEI and PEI reinforced with modified Carbon Nano Fibre (CNF). The specimens are subjected to gamma radiation doses of 5 MGy, which is equivalent to the cumulative dose of radiation from spent nuclear fuel until the end of complete radioactivity. The exposed samples are further subjected to highly corrosive and thermal environments. Studies under transmission electron microscopy reveal that there is a uniform dispersion of modified CNF in PEI. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) indicate that there are no significant changes in thermal properties of PEI and PEI composite when exposed to aggressive environments. It is observed that there is a marginal loss in the tensile strength of polymeric samples when exposed to gamma radiation and thermal environments. PEI samples when subjected to alkaline corrosive environments show significant loss in the tensile strength. There is a significant decrease in the molecular weight of PEI under alkaline corrosive environments as seen from Gel Permeable Chromatography (GPC).","PeriodicalId":35144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nuclear Energy Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43294791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
