    Abstract: 226Ra alpha peak was revealed by a Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) through a developed spectrometer. MPPC is consisted of silicon photomultipliers (Si-PM) which can be used for photon detection and measurement. It is one of the new generation counter types. It has been used in many research areas such as radiation detection and optics. So, this t... Show More

    Abstract: Low and free nickel austenitic stainless steel alloys were developed successfully and proposed to be used as a liquid sodium coolant fast reactor pressure vessel cladding. A standard austenitic stainless steel SS316L (AISI 316L) was produced as a reference sample. The nickel content was partially or totally replaced by manganese and nitrogen. The m... Show More
