Undergraduate education in nuclear engineering in the USA
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Akadémiai Kiadó ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-06)
The discipline of nuclear engineering is described, giving some historical background to explain the structure of the curricula commonly found in nuclear engineering programs in the U.S. Typical curricula are described, ...
Interpretation of dynamic scattering experiments on ternary polymer mixtures
(Elsevier, 1992)
The dynamics of a ternary polymer mixture consisting of either homopolymers A and B, or diblock copolymers A-B, in a matrix of homopolymers C, is studied using the random phase approximation and assuming incompressibility. ...
Radiation-induced segregation in multicomponent alloys: Effect of particle type
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
The problem of irradiation-assisted stress-corrosion cracking (IASCC) in reactor cores is currently being addressed using different types of particle irradiation (electrons, protons, and heavy ions) to study the effect of ...
Cold neutron prompt gamma activation analysis at nist: A progress report
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Akadémiai Kiadó ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-02)
Neutron captue prompt gamma-ray activation analysis at the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Akadémiai Kiadó ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-01)
An instrument for neutron capture prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (PGAA) has been constructed as part of the Cold Neutron Research Facility at the 20 MW National Institute of Standards and Technology Research Reactor. ...
Measuring hydrogen by cold-neutron prompt-gamma activation analysis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Akadémiai Kiadó ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
By irradiating with cold neutrons and avoiding hydrogenous materials of construction, we have developed a PGAA instrument at the Cold Neutron Research Facility at NIST with hydrogen detection limits in the microgram range ...
Cold neutron prompt gamma activation analysis at NIST: A progress report
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Akadémiai Kiadó ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
An instrument for prompt gamma-ray activation analysis is now in operation at the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF). The cold neutron beam is relatively free of contamination by fast neutrons and reactor gamma ...
Optical emission spectroscopy of electron-cyclotron-resonance-heated helium mirror plasmas
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-03)
In this experiment emission spectroscopy in the 3000–5000 Å range has been utilized to determine the electron temperature (15–60 eV) and ion density (2–5 x 10 11 cm −3 ) of helium plasmas produced by the Michigan mirror ...
Direct measurement of k o for monitor neutron activation analysis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Akadémiai Kiadó ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-03)
This paper introduces the thermal column or the cold neutron guide beam of the 20 MW NBSR at the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a direct k o measurement facility. Measurement of k o at this facility not ...
Monte Carlo analysis of the backscattering of radiation from a sphere to a plane
(Elsevier, 1990-02)
A Monte Carlo method is described for computing the backscattering of radiation from a sphere situated above an emitting plane. Numerical results are given and compared with analytic bounds for this problem which were ...
