Quasi - Differential Neutron Scattering Measurements of 238 U
Uranium-238 is used extensively in nuclear reactor cores. Its nuclear properties have a significant effect on many aspects of the entire fuel cycle process from enrichment facilities and power production to nuclear waste storage facilities. In order to safely design such systems, an accurate evaluation of neutron interactions with U is required. This paper describes a process of quantifying dif...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
متن کاملNatural fractionation of 238 U / 235 U
The isotopic composition of U in nature is generally assumed to be invariant. Here, we report variations of the U/U isotope ratio in natural samples (basalts, granites, seawater, corals, black shales, suboxic sediments, ferromanganese crusts/ nodules and BIFs) of 1.3‰, exceeding by far the analytical precision of our method ( 0.06‰, 2SD). U isotopes were analyzed with MC-ICP-MS using a mixed U–...

متن کاملTotal prompt energy release in the neutron - induced fission of 235 U , 238 U , and 239 Pu
This study addresses, for the first time, the total prompt energy release and its components for the fission of 235U, 238U, and 239Pu as a function of the kinetic energy of the neutron inducing the fission. The components are extracted from experimental measurements, where they exist, together with model-dependent calculation, interpolation, and extrapolation. While the components display clear...
