A Study on Phased Array Technology for Polyethylene Pipe Butt Fusion Joint to Apply in Nuclear Power Plants
Abstract: Butt fusion welding has been widely used for its ease to fuse and suitability for high-quality High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes. This paper studies background and advantages of ultrasonic phased array technology and positive attributes of high density polyethylene pipes to apply in nuclear power plants. We classified two types of flaws: cold-fusion and inclusion. Specimens have been designed and fabricated using butt fusion welding method, and potential flaws such …

Review on Cosmic Radiation Effects on Spacecraft Electronics in Low Energy Transfer Range
Abstract: A review of space radiation environment from the point of its hazardous impact on spacecrafts is given. The current status of knowledge of the mass and energy spectra of the heavy fraction of the radiation environment in quiet solar daily variations and contribution of the Galactic Cosmic Rays to the average fluxes are analyzed. Further on, the main radiation effects for on-board electronics are discussed. A commonly used Linear Energy …

Experimental Deployment of Wireless Sensor Network for Radiation Monitoring
Abstract: To understand and predict the chemical behavior of fuels, coolants, fission products and structural materials Radio Chemistry Laboratory (RCL) has been established at Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research. RCL has structured facilities like hot cells, lead mini cells, radioactive sodium chemistry loops, glove boxes, etc., in which radioactive materials are being handled. This necessitates the radiation monitors to be placed in various locations of RCL to ensure that the …
