The nonlinear light output of NaI(Tl) detectors in the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer

Journal Article Rasco, B. C. ; Fijałkowska, A. ; Karny, M. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

New detector array, the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS),was commissioned at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Lab(ORNL).Total absorption gamma spectra measured with MTAS are expected to improve beta-feeding patterns and beta strength functions in fission products.MTAS is constructed out of hexagonal NaI(Tl) detectors with a unique central module surrounded by 18 identical crystals assembled in three rings. The total NaI(Tl) mass of MTAS is over1000 kg.The response of the central and other 18 MTAS modules to -radiation was simulated using the GEANT4 tool kit modified to analyze the nonlinear light output of NaI(Tl).A detailedmore »« less

Complete β-decay pattern for the high-priority decay-heat isotopes 137I and 137Xe determined using total absorption spectroscopy

Journal Article Rasco, Bertis C. ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof ; Fijalkowska, A. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: An assessment done under the auspices of the Nuclear Energy Agency in 2007 suggested that the β decays of abundant fission products in nuclear reactors may be incomplete. Many of the nuclei are potentially affected by the so called pandemonium effect and their β-γ decay heat should be restudied using the total absorption technique. The fission products 137I and 137Xe were assigned highest priority for restudy due to their large cumulative fission branching fractions. In addition, measuring β-delayed neutron emission probabilities is challenging and any new technique for measuring the β-neutron spectrum and the β-delayed neutron emission probabilities ismore »« less

Impact of Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer measurements of $β$ decay of fission products on the decay heat and reactor ${\bar{ν}}_{e}$ flux calculation

Journal Article Fijałkowska, Aleksandra G. ; Karny, Marek ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, we report the results of a β-decay study of fission products ⁸⁶Br, ⁸⁹Kr, ⁸⁹Rb, ⁹⁰ ^gsRb, ^90mRb, ⁹⁰Kr, ⁹²Rb, ¹³⁹Xe, and ¹⁴²Cs performed with the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) and on-line mass-separated ion beams. These radioactivities were assessed by the Nuclear Energy Agency as having high priority for decay heat analysis during a nuclear fuel cycle. We observe a substantial increase in β feeding to high excited states in all daughter isotopes in comparison to earlier data. This increases the average γ-ray energy emitted by the decay of fission fragments during the first 10 000 s after fissionmore »« less

Modular Power Converters for PV Applications

Technical Report Ozpineci, Burak ; Tolbert, Leon M

This report describes technical opportunities to serve as parts of a technological roadmap for Shoals Technologies Group in power electronics for PV applications. There are many different power converter circuits that can be used for solar inverter applications. The present applications do not take advantage of the potential for using common modules. We envision that the development of a power electronics module could enable higher reliability by being durable and flexible. Modules would have fault current limiting features and detection circuits such that they can limit the current through the module from external faults and can identify and isolate internalmore »« less

Comparison of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms to Solve the Modular Cell Design Problem for Novel Biocatalysis

Journal Article Garcia, Sergio ; Trinh, Cong T. - Processes

A large space of chemicals with broad industrial and consumer applications could be synthesized by engineered microbial biocatalysts. However, the current strain optimization process is prohibitively laborious and costly to produce one target chemical and often requires new engineering efforts to produce new molecules. To tackle this challenge, modular cell design based on a chassis strain that can be combined with different product synthesis pathway modules has recently been proposed. This approach seeks to minimize unexpected failure and avoid task repetition, leading to a more robust and faster strain engineering process. In our previous study, we mathematically formulated the modularmore »« less
