US Patent:
6627898, Sep 30, 2003
Filed:
Jun 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/891781
Inventors:
John G. Seidel - Pittsburgh PA
Francis H. Ruddy - Monroeville PA
Abdul R. Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA
Thomas V. Congedo - Pittsburg PA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G01T 308
US Classification:
25039001, 25039011
Abstract:
A method of monitoring a nuclear reactor includes monitoring the nuclear reactor with a plurality of radiation sensors having spaced apart attachments to a radiation hard cable; providing signal processing equipment at each end of the cable for processing signals from the radiation sensors; establishing signal time intervals based upon differences in time of arrival of signals from the radiation sensors to the signal processing equipment at each end of the cable; producing a plurality of output signals each of which has an amplitude proportional to a difference in time of arrival of a signal to the signal processing equipment at each end of the cable; and rejecting output signals which have a difference in time of arrival outside of the signal time intervals.

10/818848
Inventors:
Francis H. Ruddy - Monroeville PA, US
Abdul R. Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA, US
John G. Seidel - Pittsburgh PA, US
Thomas V. Congedo - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Co LLC - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G21G 1/06
US Classification:
376158, 376257, 376170, 376180, 376159, 376156, 25036001
Abstract:
A method and associated apparatus for detecting concealed fissile, fissionable or special nuclear material in an article, such as a shipping container, is provided. The article is irradiated with a source of fast neutrons, and fast neutrons released by the fissile or fissionable material, if present, are detected between source neutron pulses. The method uses a neutron detector that can detect and discriminate fast neutrons in the presence of thermal neutrons and gamma radiation. The detector is able to process high count rates and is resistant to radiation damage, and is preferably a solid state neutron detector comprised of silicon carbide.

Semiconductor Radiation Source Power Monitor

US Patent:
20030026374, Feb 6, 2003
Filed:
Oct 17, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/981834
Inventors:
Francis Ruddy - Monroeville PA, US
Abdul Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA, US
John Seidel - Ingomar PA, US
Frederick Hantz - Latrobe PA, US
Louis Grobmyer - North Huntingdon PA, US
International Classification:
G01T001/00
US Classification:
376/153000
Abstract:
A solid state semiconductor neutron detector that automatically varies its sensitivity to provide a pulsed output over the entire range of operation of a nuclear reactor. The sensitivity is varied by changing the thickness or makeup of a converter layer that emits charged particles to the active region of the semiconductor surface.

In-Situ Self-Powered Monitoring Of Stored Spent Nuclear Fuel

View page
US Patent:
62529234, Jun 26, 2001
Filed:
Aug 10, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/371720
Inventors:
John M. Iacovino - Murrysville PA
Thomas V. Congedo - Pittsburgh PA
William A. Byers - Murrysville PA
Abdul R. Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA
Frank H. Ruddy - Monroeville PA
David F. McLaughlin - Oakmont PA
Arnold H. Fero - New Kensington PA
Brandon Damon Thomas - San Jose CA
John G. Siedel - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G21C 1706
G21C 1707
G21C 17108
G21C 17112
G21C 1906
US Classification:
376272
Abstract:
Detectors are used to monitor the status of spent nuclear fuel storage containers non-invasively while they remain in storage casks. The detectors measure neutron flux and. gamma. -ray flux and may also measure temperature variations of the spent nuclear fuel. The measurements can be accomplished actively or passively, with minimal exposure of individuals to radiation fields or other hazardous conditions. Preferred neutron and. gamma. -ray detectors have a semiconductor active region that is resistant to neutron damage. Incipient structural failures may also be detected using measurements based on electrical continuity, with data being transmitted to an external pickup coil.

Solid State Neutron Detector Array

View page
US Patent:
59404604, Aug 17, 1999
Filed:
Sep 15, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/931084
Inventors:
John G. Seidel - Pittsburgh PA
Frank H. Ruddy - Monroeville PA
Charles D. Brandt - Mount Lebanon PA
Abdul R. Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA
Randy G. Lott - Pittsburgh PA
Ernest Sirianni - Monroeville PA
Randall O. Wilson - Greensburg PA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the United States
Department of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01T 100
US Classification:
376153
Abstract:
A neutron detector array is capable of measuring a wide range of neutron fluxes. The array includes multiple semiconductor neutron detectors. Each detector has a semiconductor active region that is resistant to radiation damage. In one embodiment, the array preferably has a relatively small size, making it possible to place the array in confined locations. The ability of the array to detect a wide range of neutron fluxes is highly advantageous for many applications such as detecting neutron flux during start up, ramp up and full power of nuclear reactors.

Monitoring Of Neutron And Gamma Radiation

US Patent:
59693592, Oct 19, 1999
Filed:
May 5, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/851237
Inventors:
Francis Henry Ruddy - Monroeville PA
Abdul Raheem Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA
Thomas Vincent Congedo - Pittsburgh PA
John George Seidel - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Company - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G21C 1702
G21C 1706
G01T 308
US Classification:
25037005
Abstract:
An improved method and apparatus for performing measurements related to spent nuclear fuel burnup is disclosed. The use of temperature- and radiation-resistant semiconductor detectors permits simultaneous monitoring of neutron and gamma ray emission rates from spent fuel, as well as providing axial burnup gradient information. The semiconductor detectors preferably comprise SiC. The method and apparatus provide significant cost reductions, lowered radiation exposures and increased operational safety during spent fuel monitoring operations.

Radiation Resistant Solid State Neutron Detector

View page
US Patent:
57264538, Mar 10, 1998
Filed:
Sep 30, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/722388
Inventors:
Randy G. Lott - Pittsburgh PA
Frank H. Ruddy - Monroeville PA
Abdul R. Dulloo - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G01T 308
US Classification:
25039001
Abstract:
A radiation resistant solid state neutron detector is disclosed. The detector uses a neutron convertor material such as boron or lithium to react with neutrons to create charged particles that are received in a semiconductor active region of the detector. The active thickness of the detector is smaller than the range of the charged particles. Since most of the radiation damage produced by impinging charged particles occurs near the end of the range of the particles, displacement damage predominantly occurs outside of the active region. Although the charged particles pass through the semiconductor material, the particles cause electron excitation within the semiconductor material which is detected in the form of an electronic pulse. A preferred semiconductor material for the active region is silicon carbide. The detectors provide increased resistance to radiation damage, improve high temperature operation, and the ability to obtain real time measurements of neutron flux in reactor cavities and other previously inaccessible locations.
