Shielding studies on a total-body neutron activation facility
Background: Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. Also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252Cf and 241Am-Be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...
متن کاملPillar Design in the Hard Rock Mines of South Africa
This paper gives an overview of the difficulties associated with the design of hard rock pillars in South African mines. Recent examples of large scale pillar collapses in South Africa suggest that these were caused by weak partings which traversed the pillars. Currently two different methods are used to determine the strength of pillars, namely, empirical equations derived from back analyses o...

متن کاملBeamline Improvements to the MInes NEutron Radiography (MINER) Facility
The MInes NEutron Radiography (MINER) facility provides students and researchers at the Colorado School of Mines with the capability to perform neutron imaging at the Geological Survey TRIGA Reactor (GSTR). The current beamline consists of a 1.5 inch innerdiameter aluminum pipe routed from the reactor up to an experiment station in the reactor bay. There are several limitations associated with ...
متن کاملNeutron and X-ray tomography at Necsa
Neutrons are sourced from the SAFARI-1 nuclear research reactor operated by Necsa. Necsa is located at Pelindaba in the Northwest Province of South Africa, which is 30 km west of Pretoria. The South African Neutron Radiography (SANRAD) facility is located on the beam port floor of the SAFARI-1 nuclear research reactor hall and sources neutrons from beam port No. 2. The facility has neighbouring...
