Review Test Nuclear Reactor Theory, JU, First Semester, 2010-2011 (Saed Dababneh).
Projects • Topics related to: • Heat removal. • Radiation protection. • Radiation shielding. • Reactor licensing and safety. • Nuclear security. • Uranium mining or other front-end fuel cycle elements. • Back-end. • Other topics that you would like to suggest….. Nuclear Reactor Theory, JU, First Semester, 2010-2011 (Saed Dababneh).
Projects • Please do your own thorough research on relevant topics you may find appropriate. • Provide your suggestion next week. • Finaldecision on the subject of your project should be taken before mid October. • Due date for writtenversion is Monday, December 20th. • Presentation date will be decided later.

Nuclear Reaction Energetics (revisited) • Conservation Laws • Charge, Baryon number, total energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, parity, (isospin??)……. b pb gs a pa X +ve Q-value exoergic reaction. -ve Q-value endoergic reaction. pY Y Stationary X ?? +ve Q-value reaction possible if Ta 0. -ve Q-value reaction not possible if Ta 0. (Is Ta > |Q| sufficient?). Conservation of momentum …… Nuclear Reactor Theory, JU, First Semester, 2010-2011 (Saed Dababneh).
Nuclear Reaction Energetics (revisited) HW 1 • Conservation of momentum. • We usually do not detect Y. • Show that: • The threshold energy (for Ta): (the condition occurs for = 0º). • +ve Q-value reaction possible if Ta 0. • -ve Q-value reaction possible if Ta> TTh. • Coulomb and other barriers…….!!! • Neutrons vs. charged particles. double valued !? solve for Q Q < 0 Nuclear Reactor Theory, JU, First Semester, 2010-2011 (Saed Dababneh).
Nuclear Reaction Energetics (revisited) HW 1(continued) • The double valued situation occurs between TTh and the upper limit Ta\. • Double-valued in a forward cone. Q < 0 Nuclear Reactor Theory, JU, First Semester, 2010-2011 (Saed Dababneh).
Nuclear Reaction Energetics (revisited) HW 1(continued) • Discuss thoroughly the 7Li(p,n) reaction. • During the discussion emphasize on the case when the incident proton beam is 30 keV above the threshold. • Use your computing skills. • Discuss the elasticand inelastic scatteringof neutronsusing these relations.
