Criticality Risk Assessment during Transportation and Storage of MTR Spent Fuel Elements
Abstract: Abstract This study aims to evaluate the criticality condition during transporting the spent fuel elements from the temporary storage to the permanent storage by using a Latin American cask. The cask was developed to transport the material testing reactor (MTR) fuel element type. MCNP5 code was used to calculate the criticality, expressed in terms of the neutron multiplication factor (k-effective), for normal and accidental situations using 21 fresh fuel elements. …

Dose Rate Mapping Resulting from Water Unloading in the Tangential Tube
Abstract: Abstract The objective of this study aims to calculate the expected dose rate distribution in the neutron experimental area of research reactor due to unloading water from the tangential tube. The tangential tube is one of the irradiation neutron beams in open pool reactor which installed to conduit a neutron physics experiment. Unloading water from the tangential tube is a process aims to reaching neutrons emitted from the reactor core …

Radioactive Waste Management
Abstract: Abstract Nuclear power is that the solely large-scale energy-producing technology that takes full responsibility for all its wastes and absolutely prices this into the merchandise. The quantity of radioactive wastes is incredibly little relative to wastes made by fuel electricity generation. Used fuel is also treated as a resource or just as a waste. Nuclear wastes square measure neither notably venturesome nor exhausting to manage relative to alternative harmful industrial …

Study of Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Nuclear and Particle Physics
Abstract: Abstract This article explains the main concepts of the artificial intelligence, focusing on its history, its types and applications in Nuclear & Particle Physics. Deep learning method employs nonlinear functions to adjust the weight of the data wanted from the data background. By extracting meaningful data and fitting its shape with parameterized functions, deep learning method can capture main rules of the rude data, and make reliable predictions based on …

Effect of Fusion Plasmas in Complete and Incomplete Fusion
Abstract: Abstract In an attempt to study the effect of thermal fusion plasma in complete and incomplete fusion, the collisional cross sections of several medium and/or heavy were measured with increasing plasma density, temperature and pressure and analysed with TALYS-1.4 code. The measured plasma density, temperature and pressure profiles are analysed with numerical model transport code PTRANSP, ONETWO and ASTRA and the corresponding data were used for calculations. The excitation functions …
