Computing Atomic Density Changes of Material Composition in Operation of the Nuclear Reactor Core
The present work investigates an appropriate way to calculate the 1700 atomic density changes in the reactor operations. To automate this procedure, a computer program has been designed by C#. This program suggests a way to solve this problem which is based on the solution system of differential equations (Bitman) that it is designed according to Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The designed softwa...
متن کاملPreventing the importation of illicit nuclear materials in shipping containers.
We develop a mathematical model to find the optimal inspection strategy for detecting a nuclear weapon (or nuclear material to make a weapon) from being smuggled into the United States in a shipping container, subject to constraints of port congestion and an overall budget. We consider an 11-layer security system consisting of shipper certification, container seals, and a targeting software sys...
متن کاملMultiple arterial embolism after illicit intranasal injection of collagenous material.
Local injections of various materials to the face have become increasingly popular for cosmetic purposes. These procedures can cause serious adverse effects if they are not done properly or if they are performed with improper materials. Embolic arterial occlusion is rare but can be a devastating complication after injection in the facial area. Here we report multiple embolic occlusions involvin...
متن کاملIllicit Nuclear Trafficking in the NIS: What’s New? What’s True?
Until very recently, conventional wisdom among the Western nonproliferation community held that nuclear theft and cross-border smuggling involving proliferation significant nuclear material had declined markedly since 1994. This alleged lull in nuclear trafficking activity was attributed to a variety of factors including the positive impact of nonproliferation assistance programs in the Newly I...
متن کاملIllicit material detection using dual-energy x-ray images
Dual energy X-ray inspection systems are widely used in security and controlling systems. The performance of these systems however, degrades with the poor performance of human operators. Computer vision based systems are of vital importance in improving the detection rate of illicit materials, while keeping false alarms at a reasonably low level. In this study, a novel method is proposed for de...
