Radiation hazards in PF-1000 plasma generator fusion research (part 3)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma experiments conducted on the PF-1000 device generate the release of neutrons and ionizing radiation that are the source of immediate exposure to personnel. Neutron activation of materials in the research device and the surroundings is a source of ongoing radiation exposure to the same personnel. Having reported on personnel exposure from ionizing radiation and neutron activation, we now aim to characterize exposure from direct neutron emission generated by the device, and describe the process of ensuring measurement accuracy.

Diagnostic systems for the nuclear fusion and plasma research in the PF - 24 plasma
Plasma focus (PF) device belongs to the family of dynamic non-cylindrical Z-pinches. In this device hot dense magnetized plasma is created as a result of a discharge between coaxial electrodes over a surface of isolator in a working gas. If the working gas is deuterium, then DD fusion reactions take place, in the so-called plasma column or plasma pinch, which is created at the end of a central ...

The most important part of neutron therapy treatment (NCT1) is to achieve a beam of neutrons with suitable energy and intensity, as well as the least pollution and damage. In this study, in order to correct the neutron spectrum from D-D fusion and its use in neutron therapy, a set of different materials which are called the Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) was placed in the direction of energy 2.45 ...

Abstract: In this paper, combining the Maxwell equations with the electron balanceequation, we obtain the inverse braking radiation absorption coefficient in a laser fusioncorona plasma. For a fixed plasma temperature, variations of the absorption coefficientversus the penetration depth into the plasma are illustrated numerically for differentvalues of laser wavelength. ...

In order to determine the fusion energy gain in a target due to inertial confinement fusion, it is necessary to solve hydrodynamic equations governed on plasma behavior during confinement time. To compress spherical multilayer targets having fuel in the central part, they are irradiated by laser or heavy ion beams. A suitable mass ratio of a pusher is used to ignite the central part of the ta...

A plasma focus facility is a magnetically confinement fusion device, characterized by a relatively simple structure. Nowadays, it is a well-known fact that the theory of shock waves stands for temperature increment in plasma of a PF device. On the other hand, we also know that computer simulations can make experimental works easier and more cost- effective. So based on the MHD theory, shock w...
