Modal Analysis of Spent Fuel Cask for WWER-1000 Reactors
The Spent Fuel Assemblies (SFAs) of WWER-1000 reactors are planned to be transported by special containers which are supposed to be designed in a manner to stand against vibrations and impacts in order to protect the spent fuel from any possible damage. The vibration opposition of these containers shall be far beyond the critical resonance, because the resonances about the natural frequency of ...
متن کاملInterferometric tomography of fuel cells for monitoring membrane water content.
We have developed a system that uses two 1D interferometric phase projections for reconstruction of 2D water content changes over time in situ in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system. By modifying the filtered backprojection tomographic algorithm, we are able to incorporate a priori information about the object distribution into a fast reconstruction algorithm which is suitable for...
متن کاملCosmic-ray Muon Tomography and Its Application to the Detection of High-z Materials
Each minute, about 10000 muons rain down on every square meter of Earth. These charged elementary particles are produced by cosmic rays striking the upper atmosphere. Millions of highly penetrative muons pass through our bodies, cars and houses daily. Penetrating the objects, muons interact with atoms of different materials, mainly electromagnetically. They are more strongly deflected, or scatt...
متن کاملInvestigation of the required thickness of thorium spent fuel lead transport cask depending on different fuel burnups and cooling times
Thorium fuels have attracted researcher’s attention due to the reduction of uranium deposits in the world, more abundances than uranium, and the ability to be breeding in thermal and fast reactors. This study aimed to investigate the radiation safety and the amount of necessary shielding for the transportation of spent thorium fuel in the Tehran Research Reactor. The ORIGEN and MCNPX computatio...
متن کاملA Detector for Muon Tomography
This report describes the conceptual design of a particle detector that could be deployed underground for tracking cosmic-ray muons to enable tomographic reconstruction of the overlying ground and structures. The concept of cosmic-ray muon tomography has been known for a long time but seldom used in practice since the first demonstration. Developments in technology and methods of particle detec...
