Application of Latin hypercube sampling to RADTRAN 4 truck accident risk sensitivity analysis

Description: The sensitivity of calculated dose estimates to various RADTRAN 4 inputs is an available output for incident-free analysis because the defining equations are linear and sensitivity to each variable can be calculated in closed mathematical form. However, the necessary linearity is not characteristic of the equations used in calculation of accident dose risk, making a similar tabulation of sensitivity for RADTRAN 4 accident analysis impossible. Therefore, a study of sensitivity of accident risk r… more

Dosimetric methodology of the ICRP

Description: Establishment of guidance for the protection of workers and members of the public from radiation exposures necessitates estimation of the radiation dose to tissues of the body at risk. The dosimetric methodology formulated by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is intended to be responsive to this need. While developed for radiation protection, elements of the methodology are often applied in addressing other radiation issues; e.g., risk assessment. This chapter provi… more

Experimental assessment of absorbed dose to mineralized bone tissue from internal emitters: An electron paramagnetic resonance study

Description: EPR resonances attributable to radiation-induced centers in hydroxyapatite were not detectable in bone samples supplied by the USTUR. These centers are the basis for imaging and dose assessment. Presumable, the short range of the alpha particles emitted precluded the formation of appreciable amounts of hydroxyapatite centers. However, one bone sample did offer a suggestion of hydroxyapatite centers and newly-developed methods to extract this information will be pursued.

Frequency response of a TeO{sub 2} slow shear wave acousto-optic cell exposed to radiation

Description: Radiation testing of photonic components is not new, however component level testing to date has not completely addressed quantities which are important to system behavior. One characteristic that is of particular importance for optical processing systems is the frequency response. In this paper, the authors present the results of the analysis of data from an experiment designed to provide a preliminary understanding of the effects of radiation on the frequency response of acousto-optic devices… more

Microstructural characterization of iron implanted sapphire nanocomposites

Description: Nanocomposites of iron in sapphire ({alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}) prepared by ion implantation have been studied as a model to investigate the potential of such materials for applications in high technology areas. The implantation was performed with 160 keV ions at several doses; the nanocomposites were then annealed at selected temperatures between 700 and 1,400 C in an Ar-4%H{sub 2} atmosphere for 1 hour. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy… more

A study of the concept of a fission-plate converter as a source for an epithermal neutron beam

Description: It has been suggested that a Fission-Plate Converter (FPC) at a reactor can enhance the intense of an epithermal neutron beam produced by the reactor. By computer modeling, this concept has been applied to two sets of reactors to study how effective a FPC might be. The first set of reactors contains high-powered research reactors and is represented by the Missouri University Research Reactor and the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Reactor. The second set combines the FPC into the core … more

Upgrades of the epithermal neutron beam at the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor

Description: The first epithermal neutron beam at the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor (BMRR) was installed in 1988 and produced a neutron beam that was satisfactory for the development of NCT with epithermal neutrons. This beam was used routinely until 1992 when the beam was upgraded by rearranging fuel elements in the reactor core to achieve a 50% increase in usable flux. Next, after computer modeling studies, it was proposed that the Al and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} moderator material in the shutter that prod… more

Configuration management plan for the GENII software

Description: The GENII program calculates doses from radionuclides released into the environment for a variety of possible exposure scenarios. The user prepares an input data file with the necessary modelling assumptions and parameters. The program reads the user`s input file, computes the necessary doses and stores these results in an output file. The output file also contains a listing of the user`s input and gives the title lines from the data libraries which are accessed in the course of the calculation… more

Test documentation for the GENII Software Version 1.485

Description: Version 1.485 of the GENII software was released by the PNL GENII custodian in December of 1990. At that time the WHC GENII custodian performed several tests to verify that the advertised revisions were indeed present and that these changes had not introduced errors in the calculations normally done by WHC. These tests were not documented at that time. The purpose of this document is to summarize suitable acceptance tests of GENII and compare them with a few hand calculations. The testing is no… more

An application of Brookhaven National Laboratory`s hot particle methodology for determining the most effective beta particle energy in causing skin ulcers

Description: The purpose of this project was to compare the effectiveness of hot particles with different energy betas in producing ulcers on skin. The sources were man-made hot particles similar in size and activity to those found in the commercial nuclear power industry. Four different particle types were used. These were thulium (Tm-170) with a 0.97 MeV maximum energy beta, ytterbium (Yb-175) with a maximum beta energy of 0.47 MeV, scandium (Sc-46) with a 0.36 MeV beta, which was used as a surrogate for … more
