Investigation 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 کاملTRIGA fuel burn-up calculations and its confirmation
The Cesium (Cs-137) isotopic concentration due to irradiation of TRIGA Fuel Elements FE(s) is calculated andmeasured at the Atominstitute (ATI) of ViennaUniversity of Technology (VUT). The Cs-137 isotope, as proved burn-up indicator, was applied to determine the burn-up of the TRIGAMark II research reactor FE. This article presents the calculations andmeasurements of the Cs-137 isotope and its ...
متن کاملImpact of Congestion on Taxi Times, Fuel Burn, and Emissions at Major Airports
Operations on the airport surface include those at the gates, the ramp areas adjoining the gates, the taxiways, and the runway system. Each component could be subject to queuing delays and is also influenced by downstream factors such as the terminal airspace. On the basis of observations by Idris (4), four regions were identified on the surface where queues primarily form during the departure ...
متن کاملThorium Blended and Regular Mox Burn-up Studies for Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Safeguards
Fast reactor fuel cycle (FRFC) is regaining importance because of its vital role in the long term development of nuclear power. The safety issues associated with the fast reactors are now well understood and newer designs can address those from the lessons learned in the past. The same cannot be ascertained about their safeguards issues. Primary reason being the presence of special nuclear mate...
متن کاملJet Fuel Burn of the Ear.
A 20-year-old male aircraft mechanic presented to our clinic with a chief complaint of hearing loss 1 day after getting sprayed with JP-8 (jet propulsion fuel). The patient reported fuel spraying on his face and ears while taking samples from an aircraft. He reported a persistent burning sensation to his face, lasting approximately 8 hours, followed by a left-sided hearing loss. The patient als...
