Radiotherapy of pregnant cancer patients is not common, but when applied accurate assessment the fetus dose required, especially since treatment planning systems are able and do allow out-of-field doses. Proton therapy significantly reduces doses, such as to fetus, compared photon radiotherapy techniques could be promising for patients. Within this study Monte Carlo calculations performed on th...

A Prompt Gamma Ray Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) system, incorporating an isotopic neutron source has been simulated using the MCNPX Monte Carlo code. In order to improve the signal to noise ratio different collimators and a filter were placed between the neutron source and the object. The effect of the positioning of the neutron beam and the detector relative to the object has been studi...

We describe a model for deploying radiation detectors on a transportation network consisting of two adversaries: a nuclear-material smuggler and an interdictor. The interdictor first installs the detectors. These installations are transparent to the smuggler, and are made under an uncertain threat scenario, which specifies the smuggler’s origin and destination, the nature of the material being ...

We measured neutron-induced reaction cross-sections for Y(n,γ)Y and Y(n,α)Rb reactions with the average neutron energy region from 7.45 to 24.83 MeV by an activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique using the MC-50 Cyclotron at Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences. The neutron-induced reaction cross-sections of Y as a function of neutron energy were taken from the TEND...
