Over the last year or so I’ve become very interested in the effects of radiation on electronic systems. As chip technologies shrink in size to 28nm and below, devices become increasingly susceptible ...

Building truly radiation safe healthcare rooms means addressing real world exposure risks through thoughtful design and materials selection.

Using grayCAD, LMP's physicists will be able to calculate expected radiation dose rates at millions of locations around a linear accelerator vault with findings presented in a visual radiation heat ...

Scientists at the NEAL of the University of South China have developed a novel radiation-shielding optimization method to improve the design and efficiency of radiation shielding, particularly for ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper describes a new microcomputer-based program that evaluates the radiation shielding of spacecraft or Space Station modules. This ...

Plans for shielding and shielding calculations shall be reviewed and approved by the RSO. Whenever shielding is required it shall be designed to resist mechanical damage. (Shielding shall be ...

NASA’s new Exploration Design Challenge, announced March 11 during an event at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, will engage U.S. students in kindergarten through high school in helping to solve ...

Sophisticated engineered components from H.C. Starck Solutions allow molecular imaging and nuclear medicine to absorb gamma radiation and X-rays to offer safer diagnostic and therapeutic treatment.

HOUSTON — NASA is challenging schoolchildren to protect their future ride into space. NASA's new Exploration Design Challenge, announced March 11 during an event at the Johnson Space Center here, ...
