Radiometric assessment of natural radioactivity levels around Mrima Hill, Kenya
(International Journal of the Physical Sciences, 2011-07)Mrima Hill, located in the South coast of Kenya is known for high natural background radiation, due to the presence of radiogenic heavy minerals such as monazites and carbonatites. The activity concentration of 238U, 232Th ... -
Reproducibility of (n,γ) gamma ray spectrum in Pb under different ENDF/B releases
(Elsevier, 2016-02)Radiative capture reactions are of interest in shielding design and other fundamental research. In this study the reproducibility of (n,γ) reactions in Pb when cross-section data from different ENDF/B releases are used in ... -

(PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 2014-07)A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay ReactorAntineutrinoExperiment. Theexperiment’suniqueconfigurationofmultiplebaselinesfromsix2.9GWth nuclear reactors ... -
Simulation of (16)O (n, p) (16)N reaction rate and nitrogen-16 inventory in a high performance light water reactor with one pass core
(Applied Radiation and Isotopes; Elsevier, 2014-12)The rate of activation of the isotope (16)O to (16)N in a typical HPLWR one pass concept was calculated using MCNP code. A mathematical model was used to track the inventory of the radioisotope (16)N in a unit mass of ... -
To Investigate the Effect of Microwaves Irradiated Water and Feeds On The Broilers.
(UGC Care listed, 2020-02)In electromagnetic spectrum, microwaves radiation spans a range from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. These radiationshave been used in many devices that are used by humanbeings.They may be very harmful for living organisms. Bad effects ... -
