Abstract: Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) are being used for reactor neutrino experiments and have already demonstrated their potential in constraining new physics models. The prospect of a Skipper-CCD experiment looking fo...

The nuclear industry is a unique sector that is especially vulnerable to delays. A multitude of impactful factors such as the complexity of design, tight on-site schedules, and a logistically sophisticated end-to-end su...

An experimental method used to study U diffusion at infinite dilution in materials is presented in this work. The spectra of a particles emitted by U at different depth in the material, after the diffusion annealing, is ...

Cuando durante los días 6 y 9 de agosto de 1945 se lanzaron sobre Hiroshima y Nagasaki (Japón) las bombas atómicas que pusieron fin a la II Guerra Mundial, se mostró a la humanidad el enorme potencial de la energía ...

¿Qué pasaría si el personaje de una canción de Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota se volviera protagonista de una novela? Esto sucede en Oktubre, un libro en el que el disco homónimo es banda sonora, tema y mot...

O artigo apresenta a situação da produção de energia elétrica no Brasil e expõe os problemas para a implementação de um novo modelo no setor energético e para a inclusão de termelétricas em um grande sistema h...

The use of Zn in nuclear reactors reduces the amount of 60Co generated as a consequence of the natural activation of Co. On the other hand, isotopically enriched Zn can be used as a tracer in biological systems. At the p...

137Cs can be an important environmental contaminant due to fallout from nuclear reactor accidents and atomic weapons testing. Its contribution to the air gamma dose rate at 1 m height above contaminated ground depends on...

Abstract As the first safety barrier of nuclear reactors, zirconium alloy cladding tubes have attracted extensive attention because of its good mechanical properties. The strength and ductility of zirconium alloy are of ...

Probabilistic analysis is an emerging field of structural engineering which is very significant in structures of great importance like dams, nuclear reactors etc. In this work a Neural Networks (NN) based Monte Carlo Sim...
