Reduction of surface leakage is a major challenge in most photodetectors that requires the elimination of surface oxides on etched mesas during passivation. Engineering the passivation requires close attention to chemical ...

Geological disposal is the most accepted method for permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste. There are various geological disposal concepts under development in many countries and these concepts have ...

Pencil beam algorithm is a fast and accurate method for dose computation at Radiotherapy. This algorithm was developed for filtered x-ray energies. The aim of this study was developing pencil beam kernels by utilizing x-ray ...

Due to many reasons such as its compact design, low initial investment costs, shorter installation times compared to conventional nuclear power plants, compatibility with nuclear disarmament treaty, compatibility of ...

Pressure vessels are the most important components of nuclear reactors in the view of protecting its integrity. In the past 30 years there have been a great development and innovative studies about the fracture mechanics ...

Under the scope of international "Sever Fuel Damage (SFD)" program, Cora experiments are actualized to study the events of the severe accidents. Cora-13 out of pile experiment enlightened us about fuel failure mechanism, ...

Recently, investigation of effects of simplifications on nuclear models and used nuclear data libraries on calculation results have gained importance. Predicting uncertainties caused by these effects will provide more ...

This thesis focuses on the development of a framework and mathematical models to formulate generation expansion planning (GEP) models that include multiple objectives; by means of appropriately considering conventional and ...

In this study, burnup analyses were made for PWR-CANDU6 combined fuel cycles in which PWR spent fuel is used as fuel in CANDU6. Besides, for the once-through fuel cycle, use of uranium + thorium (U+Th) in CANDU6 were looked ...
