Simulating Radiation Shielding Effectiveness Against Three Neutron Sources
Andrew K. Gillespie, Cuikun Lin, Matthew Looney +1
Laboratories and Universities regularly apply for approval from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to use neutron generators for experimental research. To comply…
Photoneutron Yield for an Electron Beam on Tantalum and Erbium Deuteride
Andrew K. Gillespie, Cuikun Lin, R. V. Duncan
An electron beam may be used to generate bremsstrahlung photons that go on to create photoneutrons within metals. This serves as a low-energy neutron source for irradiation experim…
The Fission Fragment Rocket Engine for Mars Fast Transit
John Gahl, Andrew K. Gillespie, Cuikun Lin +1
In this paper we discuss the advantages and challenges of utilizing Fission Fragment Rocket Engines (FFREs) to dramatically reduce transit time in space travel, for example, travel…
Prospects For A New Light Nuclei, Fission Fusion Energy Cycle
R. V. Duncan, Cuikun Lin, Andrew K. Gillespie +1
Future advanced nuclear rocket propulsion, and the availability of new nuclear power cycle designs, will benefit substantially from the large current investment in alternative nucl…
