Thermal and dimensional evaluation of a test plate for assessing the measurement capability of a thermal imager within nuclear decommissioning storage
Jamie Luke McMillan, Michael Hayes, Rob Hornby +7
In this laboratory-based study, a plate was designed, manufactured and then characterised thermally and dimensionally using a thermal imager. This plate comprised a range of known…
A geometrical model to describe the alpha dose rates from particulates of UO in water
Angus Siberry, David Hambley, Anna Adamska +1
A model investigating the role of geometry on the alpha dose rate of spent nuclear fuel has been developed. This novel approach utilises a new piecewise function to describe the pr…
A mathematical model to describe the alpha dose rate from a UO2 surface
Angus Siberry, David Hambley, Anna Adamska +1
A model to determine the dose rate of a planar alpha-emitting surface, has been developed. The approach presented is a computationally efficient mathematical model using stopping r…
Thermometry of intermediate level waste containers using phosphor thermometry and thermal imaging
J L McMillan, A Greenen, W Bond +4
Intermediate level waste containers are used for the storage of an assortment of radioactive waste. This waste is heat-generating and needs monitoring and so this work was undertak…
