At the "Radiochemistry Laboratory" of Accelerators and Applied Superconductivity Laboratory, LASA, several production and quality assurance methods for short-lived and high specific activity radionuclides, have been developed. Presently, the irradiations are carried out at the Scanditronix MC40 cyclotron (K=38; p, d, He-4 and He3) of JRC-Ispra, Italy, of the European Community, while both chemi...

The RACE Project, which is being conducted within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI), is a series of accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADSS) experiments. These ADSS experiments are being conducted with a compact, transportable subcritical assembly at the Idaho State University’s Idaho Accelerator Center (ISU-IAC) in 2004 and with TRIGA reactors at the Un...

As part of an experimental effort to demonstrate sensitivity in a large-mass detector to the ultra-low energy recoils expected from coherent neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering, we have designed and built a highly monochromatic 24 keV neutron beam at the Kansas State University Triga Mark-II reactor. The beam characteristics were chosen so as to mimic the soft recoil energies expected from reac...

Knowledge of the neutron distribution in a nuclear reactor is necessary to ensure the safe and efficient burnup of reactor fuel. Currently these measurements are performed by in-core systems in what are extremely hostile environments and in most reactor accident scenarios it is likely that these systems would be damaged. Here we present a compact and portable radiation imaging system with the a...

A novel simulation to calculate the neutronic parameters of TRIGA 2000 reactor using plate-type fuel has been performed. The plate used was produced by Indonesian Nuclear Industry (PT INUKI) with U3Si2-Al material. Neutronic based on INUKI’s dimension and current TRIGA’s configuration were simulated MCNPX. performed modeling complete reactor’s a fresh core state. We obtained kinetic parameter v...

The primary cooling system is an integral part of a nuclear reactor that maintains operational safety. It essential to investigate the effects parameter before implementing predictive maintenance techniques in monitoring system. This paper presents linear regression and R-squared correlation analysis plant TRIGA PUSPATI Reactor Malaysia. research examines system's temperature, conductivity, flo...

An attempt has been made in the work to assess radiological dose due to the deposition of 131 I, 132 I, 133 I, 134 I, and 135 I on ground, vegetation, milk and meat considering a hypothetical accident of TRIGA Mark-II research reactor at AERE, Savar, Bangladesh. Contribution of dose from ingestion of vegetation due to 131 I has been found to be dominant (62.96%). Also found that contribution of...
