Nuclear Material Accounting and Control of Non-Proliferation in Ghana
Abstract: The proliferation of nuclear weapons is a threat that also urges cooperation of safeguards at all levels. Safeguards is not restricted only to verify the declared nuclear materials but also to give transparent and confidential information about the nuclear fuel cycle and related activities to confirm the absence of undeclared activities related to the nuclear fuel cycle in States. In view of this only strong SSAC with enhanced capabilities, activities …

Ghana’s Nuclear Power Option and Associated Safeguards Technique
Abstract: The adequate supply of electricity is a pre-requisite for industrialization, sustainable development and a key policy agenda for national development. Economic consumption of electricity production would have to be augmented to satisfy Ghana’s high level of economic growth and social well-being in the future. In 2008, cabinet decision was taken to proceed with the nuclear power plant construction roadmap. As part of the preparations being made towards the implementation of …

Pressure Swing Adsorption Technique for Separation and Containment of Argon-41
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Air is used as a coolant in several nuclear facilities especially in the Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). When air interacts with the neutron field, the Argon-40 present (0.93%) in the air gets neutron-activated to form Argon-41which is a beta and gamma emitter, with a half-life period of 1.83 h. Argon-41 is a major radioactive effluent in nuclear reactors accounting for a larger percentage …

Heat Transfer Analysis Between Two Aluminium Parallel Plates With Natural Convection
Abstract: As a type of energy, heat can be transferred from heated systems using the natural convection heat transfer method, which has several uses in different industries. Natural convection method of heat conveyance is suitable in many cases due to absent of any external sources like fan. The transfer of this kind of energy can be listed as electrical and electronics equipment, nuclear reactors, domestic convection, dry cooling towers, thermo siphons, …
