Radiotracers for industrial monitoring are produced mainly by two main methods: 1. Activation in research nuclear reactors (RNR) or at charged particle accelerators and 2. by radiotracer generators (RG). Both methods face challenges:
1. The production by activation is often difficult from both administrative and technical reasons. Administrative reasons imply that the production of specific...

Radiotracers have been widely used throughout industry to optimize processes, solve problems, improve product quality, save energy and reduce pollution. Stricter regulatory regimes lately demand, however, that the radioactive labels are as short-lived as practically possible in order to reduce radiation load to personnel involved. This requirement introduces some challenges. Short half-lives...

Background of the study:
All the process industries go through a series of routine steps to produce economically viable products. The raw materials are initially made to go through a number of physical treatment blocks to be converted into the form which is conducive for the chemical reaction(s). They are then introduced to the reactors where chemical reactions take place and the products are...

In this study, we apply blind sources separation methods (BSS) based on non-negative matrix factorization techniques (NMF) to extract independent components from signals recorded at the output of fission chamber detectors. Since these modern signal processing methods require no hypothesis on the way that the signal and the noise are mixed, encouraged us to apply these methods to reach...

A low energy electron linac driven photoneutron source, which can provide both X-rays and photoneutrons simultaneously in the same system, is realized to interrogate contrabands concealed in luggage or cargoes. X-rays produced by the 7 MeV electrons that bombard the tungsten target are used to penetrate the inspected material and form the 2-dimensional mass thickness image. Photoneutrons,...

Physical models were built to study sediment transport in coastal and fluvial environments. X-Ray computed tomography (CT) technology has useful applications in geosciences providing density and porosity of non-homogenous materials. The medical CT scanner is interesting because of its large opening, allowing a field of view up to 65 cm for the reconstructed image. Dynamic systems could also be...
