introduction one of the important applications of nuclear physics in medicine is the use of radioactive elements as radiopharmaceuticals. metastatic bone disease is the most common form of malignant bone tumors. samarium-153-ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonate (153sm-edtmp) as a radiopharmaceutical is used for pain palliation. this radiopharmaceutical usually emits beta particles, which...

In this article, a criticality and depletion analysis of the European Lead-Cooled Training Reactor (ELECTRA), low-power, compact, fast lead-cooled reactor, was performed. The active core model simulations were made by using MCNPX code. First, is compared with reference influence reflector radius on system analyzed. Secondly, it simulated fuel combustion after 30 years continuous operation ELECT...

Fast neutrons interact with the constituents of the CR-39 detector and produc...

A model to determine the dose rate of a planar alpha-emitting surface has been developed. The approach presented is computationally efficient mathematical using stopping range data from Stopping Ranges Ions in Matter (SRIM) software. alpha rates as function distance irradiated UO2 spent fuel surfaces were produced for benchmarking with previous modelling attempts. This method able replicate Mon...
