In Nigeria, lack of adequate power supply has been recurrently cited as a hindrance to
economic growth. This article provides an in-depth review on the wind, hydropower …

The first nuclear reactor in Nigeria, the Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1), is a Miniature
Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR). It was specifically acquired for elemental analysis by the …

The Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code, version 4C (MCNP4C) and a set of neutron cross-
section data were used to develop an accurate three-dimensional computational model of …

The knowledge of the reactor thermal power calibration is important for neutron flux and
burn-up determination. Burn-up is linearly dependent on the thermal power of the reactor …

The exposure of polymeric insulation in nuclear power plants necessitates the study of the
effect of neutron irradiation on the mechanical and dielectric properties of neat and nano …

This paper analyzes the accuracy of the methods used in calibrating the thermal power of
Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1), a low-power miniature neutron source reactor …

A neutronics feasibility study has been performed to determine the enrichment that would be
required to convert a commercial Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) from HEU …

Recently, one of the outer irradiation channels of the Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1),
which is Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) was cadmium-lined. In order to …

The aim of the study is to carry out elemental analysis of traditional herbs used as medicinal
plants for the treatment of diseases in southern Ethiopia. The medicinal plants are those …

Accurate neutron flux values in irradiation channels of research reactors are very essential
to their usage. The total neutron flux of the Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1) was …
