Monte Carlo simulations of radioactive waste embedded into polymer by Tonguç Özdemir; Ali Usanmaz is a Materials Science article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Monte Carlo simulations of radioactive waste embedded into polymer about?
Radioactive waste is generated from the nuclear applications and it should properly be managed according to the regulations set by the regulatory authority. Poly(carbonate urethane) and poly (bisphenol a-co-epichlorohydrin) are radiation-resistant polymers and they are possible candidate materials that can be used in the radioactive waste management. In this study, maximum allowable waste activity that can be embedded into these polymers and dose rate distribution of the waste drum (containing waste and the polymer matrix) were found via Monte Carlo simulations. The change of mechanical properties of above-mentioned polymers was simulated and their variations within the waste drum were determined for 15, 30 and 300 years after embedding.
