UWFDM-1295 Preliminary Study of Time-Dependent Isotopic Inventory of the In-Zinerator Actinide Management System
Efficient burnup of minor actinides is one of the most promising alternatives for minimizing waste in advanced nuclear fuel cycles. This work examines the concept of employing a Z-pinch driven fusion source in a sub-critical transmutation reactor designed to burn up actinides and generate constant power. Its fuel cycle is designed to allow on-line fission product removal and fuel replenishment....
متن کاملUWFDM-1323 Monte Carlo Isotopic Inventory Analysis for Complex Nuclear Systems
Monte Carlo Inventory Simulation Engine or MCise is a newly developed method for calculating isotopic inventory of materials. The method offers the promise of modeling materials with complex processes and irradiation histories, which pose challenges for current deterministic tools. Monte Carlo techniques based on following the history of individual atoms allows those atoms to follow randomly de...
متن کاملImage Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceuticals. All these make reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult. Simulation of a SP...
متن کاملPlanar and SPECT Monte Carlo acceleration using a variance reduction technique in I131 imaging
Background: Various variance reduction techniques such as forced detection (FD) have been implemented in Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of nuclear medicine in an effort to decrease the simulation time while keeping accuracy. However most of these techniques still result in very long MC simulation times for being implemented into routine use. Materials and Methods: Convolution-based force...
متن کاملLoss of Load Expectation Assessment in Deregulated Power Systems Using Monte Carlo Simulation and Intelligent Systems
Deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power systems reliability assessment and enhancement. In this paper, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment using intelligent systems is proposed. Also, because of power market and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, Monte Carlo Simulation is used for reliability evaluation. Generation r...
