The development of measurement methodologies to detect and monitor nuclear-relevant
materials remains a consistent and significant interest across the nuclear energy …

Studies related to U gas-phase oxidation through plasma-and thermo-chemistry are
important for many fields, including environmental monitoring, forensic analysis, debris …

The early-time kinetic behavior of species in a plume produced from laser ablation of U 3 Si
2 in an environment containing 2% O 2 is characterized using time-resolved absorption …

In this paper, we studied the release of deuterium atoms from 1 μm aluminum layers by
Laser Induced Ablation and Laser Induced Desorption methods, using a 1053 nm laser …

Nanostructured metal oxides are of great interest because of their unique properties. Plasma
in contact with a liquid is a promising method for the synthesis of metal oxides. The synthesis …

Local conditions, such as temperature and oxygen availability, have a pronounced effect on
the formation and evolution of fallout following a nuclear explosion. While the behavior of …

The predictive models that describe the fate and transport of radioactive materials in the
atmosphere following a nuclear incident (explosion or reactor accident) assume that …

The transport of radioactive material following a nuclear event depends heavily on fallout
characteristics (eg, composition, shape, and size), which in turn are controlled by the …

We use a recently developed plasma-flow reactor to experimentally investigate the formation
of oxide nanoparticles from gas phase metal atoms during oxidation, homogeneous …

Fundamental observations of particle size distributions are needed to develop models that
predict the fate and transport of radioactive materials in the atmosphere following a nuclear …
