Development of a prototype of monitor for alpha and beta radiation in water using new silicone-based contamination-safe detectors by Lunardon Marcello, Sartori Paolo, De Felice Pierino, Stevanato Luca

“…Due to the short path-length of alpha and beta particles in water and the low detection limits needed to be compliant with the international legislations in matter of radiation safety for water, the detectors to be used for such a kind of instruments should have in general large area, very low intrinsic background and avoid any kind of window between the monitored water and the active volume of the detector. …”

Mesh-based activation analysis for structural materials in nuclear reactor by LI Leiming, JIANG Shuyi, CHEN Zhenping, YUAN Xudong, YANG Chao, XIE Jinsen, YU Tao

“…BackgroundNuclear reactor structural material activation analysis is an important part of nuclear reactor radiation safety analysis. The traditional cell-based activation analysis method can not describe the non-uniform spatial activation effect inside the structural material cells, resulting in a large deviation between the activation source and the dose results, so it is necessary to carry out the high-resolution activation analysis method for nuclear reactor structural materials.PurposeThis study aims to develop a high-resolution activation analysis method for nuclear reactor structural materials based on mesh activation analysis, and establish an integrated mesh-based activation analysis code (MCFisMA).MethodsFirst of all, based on Rigorous 2-step method (R2S), Monte Carlo particle transport program MCNP and activation calculation program FISPACT, the mesh-based activation method was used to divide the structural material model into fine spatial mesh, and the activation calculation of each mesh was carried out in turn to realize the precise activation calculation analysis of nuclear reactor structural materials. …”
