Dose profile modeling of the Gamma Irradiation Facility at Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute of Ghana using MCNP5

چکیده
Dose rates distribution through the 60 Co Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF) at the Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI) was studied using the Monte Carlo code MCNP5. The MCNP5 code was used to model the GIF structure. The dose rates for selected dwell positions throughout the facility was calculated and analyzed. The absorbed dose rate distribution calculated ranged from as high as 1.82E05 mGy/s to as low as 4.14E-06 mGy/s. These simulated dose rates is essential to the irradiator operators in scheduling products and time needed for irradiations.

Recently, a new Neutron Radiography (NR) beam line has been designed, constricted, installed and tested based on the use of E-beam tube of Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). Initial tests have been shown that the system can be used for different samples and purposes such as nuclear plates and rods fuels. For this end the system need a suitable irradiation room which should be installed at the NR b...
متن کاملDetermination of Optimum Irradiation Dose and Evaluation of Morphophysiological and Biochemical Indices of SC704 maize Hybrid under Different Doses of Gamma Irradiation
Mutations induced by gamma irradiation are part of improving some important agronomic traits in crops. Identifying the optimal mutagenic dose is considered to be the most crucial step in trials and generating mutated genetic materials. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of gamma ray (0, 150, 200, 250 and 300 Gy) on some plant early stages traits and bioch...
