Current Studies of Conversion of Ghana Research Reactor Core to Low Enriched Uranium
The core conversion studies of the Ghana Research Reactor Core started in 2006 and with the objective of designing an LEU core with similar operational capabilities as the original HEU core and with acceptable safety margins under both normal and accident conditions. Steadystate studies for converting the Ghana MNSR facility from HEU to LEU core have been performed using the PLTEMP/ANL V4.1 cod...
full textKINETIC STUDY OF TRR CORE IN FUEL CONVERSION FROM HEU TO LEU
In the conversion of fuel in the Tehran Research Reactor core from Highly- Enriched Uraniutn to Low-Enriched Uranium fuel neutronics analysis, thermal hydraulic calculations and kinetic performance of the core have to be studied. In this study, static and dynamic core performance for HEU and LEU fuels were investigated. In static conditions, two groups of neutron flux distributions in axia...
full textThe Conversion of Research Reactors to Low-Enriched Fuel and the Case of the FRM-II
The use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) as fuel in research reactors runs contrary to the concept of proliferation-resistant nuclear technologies. Consequently, for more than two decades, international activities have been undertaken to terminate the use of HEU in research reactors by supporting the conversion of these facilities to low-enriched uranium (LEU). Achievements, setbacks and perspe...
full textTwo Methods for Converting Iran’s IR-40 Reactor to Use Low-Enriched-Uranium Fuel to Improve Proliferation Resistance After Startup
This article demonstrates the feasibility of converting Iran’s 40MWt heavy-water research reactor at Arak (the IR-40) to use low-enriched uranium fuel in order to slow the production of weapon-usable plutonium. Two methods are proposed, and both retain identical power density, thermal-hydraulic, and safety profiles as the original design and require no physical alteration of the core. They can ...
full textBasic characterization of highly enriched uranium by gamma spectrometry
Gamma-spectrometric methods suitable for the characterization of highly enriched uranium samples encountered in illicit trafficking of nuclear materials are presented. In particular, procedures for determining the U, U, U, U and U contents and the age of highly enriched uranium are described. Consequently, the total uranium content and isotopic composition can be calculated. For determining the...
full textMuch More Than Enriched Myocardial Fuel
As in many other medical specialties, cardiac surgery is exploring its boundaries. The patient population scheduled for cardiac surgery is aging, and the surgical procedures are becoming more complex, leading to significant comorbidity. In addition, the myocardium is often poorly functioning; cardiac remodeling resulting from myocardial ischemic events or longstanding volume and/or pressure ove...
