چکیده

‎Routine gamma dosimetry of spent fuels in nuclear power stations is mandatory to manage their storage in dry or wet spent fuel storages‎. ‎Mostly the spent fuel gamma dose rate measurements out of the spent fuel pool is impossible because of the high exposures of the operators‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎determination of a conversion factor as precise as possible is important that could be applied to convert the measured gamma dose rate inside the water shield to the air values‎. ‎Simulation methods are powerfully applied to investigate the conversion factor variation trends due to different burnup‎, ‎cooling time and irradiation history of the spent fuels‎. ‎The present work uses MCNPX Monte Carlo-based code to determine the trend‎. ‎The obtained results of this computational study showed that the conversion factor would not have any dependency to the cooling times‎, ‎burnup values and irradiation history if the detector is placed at special positions in air or water environments‎. ‎Comparison of the simulation and experimental data showed an acceptable conformity‎, ‎so that the experimental verified the simulation data trend

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
