Voltage Transients and Health - Is There a Connection?Mikko Ahonen
Discussion about voltage transients and harmonic overwaves (aka "dirty electricity"). How 'smart grids" and "smart meters" could be made more healthier and sustainable. What 'Power Factor Correction' really means. Based on my research paper and presentation at The 4th International HYVITE Symposium on Wellbeing Technology, 9th June 2010 in Tampere, Finland.
This technology replaces the photomultiplier tube (PMT) in scintillation-based radiation detectors with thin-film materials. The thin-films generate photoelectrons upon absorbing photons from the scintillation crystal, collecting the signal without needing high voltage or fragile dynodes like a PMT. This allows for a more robust, compact, and inexpensive passive radiation detection device. Researchers at Oregon State University have developed this novel solid-state scintillator and filed a patent application.

1) Natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs) like the Schumann resonance have been shown to affect circadian rhythms in humans and animals, with rhythms changing to 33 hours when natural EMFs were removed.
2) Man-made EMFs like power-frequency transients and radiofrequency radiation from devices have been linked to health issues ranging from headaches to cancer, though results are mixed.
3) Further research is needed to better understand how natural and man-made EMFs interact with human biology and what levels may be safe or pose health risks.
Microwave radiation guidelines and debate during the last 50 yearsMikko Ahonen
This document discusses guidelines for microwave radiation exposure over the last 50 years. It describes how early guidelines focused on preventing thermal harm from high-level radar exposure based on military research. However, some studies found non-thermal biological effects. Guidelines now focus on SAR (specific absorption rate) measures, but these have limitations as they assume uniform tissue heating and do not consider effects from chronic or simultaneous exposures. New research on non-thermal effects and more accurate modeling of exposure is needed to develop improved safety guidelines.

Organometal halide perovskite solar cells: Degradation and stabilityTaame Abraha Berhe
Organometal halide perovskite solar cells have evolved in an exponential manner in the two key areas of
efficiency and stability. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) reached 20.1% late last year. The key disquiet
was stability, which has been limiting practical application, but now the state of the art is promising, being
measured in thousands of hours. These improvements have been achieved through the application of
different materials, interfaces and device architecture optimizations, especially after the investigation of hole
conductor free mesoporous devices incorporating carbon electrodes, which promise stable, low cost
and easy device fabrication methods. However, this work is still far from complete.

This paper analyzes the error probability performance of different modulation schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless local area network (WLAN) systems that follow the IEEE 802.11a standard. OFDM is used in WLANs to achieve high data rates and spectral efficiency. The performance of OFDM is evaluated for modulation schemes such as phase-shift keying, quadrature amplitude modulation, differential quadrature phase-shift keying, and offset quadrature phase-shift keying under additive white Gaussian noise. The bit error rate is compared against the signal-to-noise ratio for different modulation formats to determine the most suitable scheme for OFDM-based WLANs. OFDM has been adopted in

Recent Progress with High-Yield Accelerator-Based
Neutron Generators at Phoenix Nuclear Labs
Abstract
Phoenix Nuclear Labs (PNL) has developed an accelerator-based high-yield neutron generator. This
system utilizes a microwave ion source (MWS), 300kV DC accelerator, magnetic solenoid focus element,
differential pumping system, and gaseous deuterium target to achieve neutron yields of 3x1011 n/s.
Lower-yield variations of the device have been built using a solid titanium target, and design for a DT
version of the gas target system is underway that will increase neutron yield to 5x1013 n/s. PNL has
delivered a number of systems to government and commercial customers and has identified a number of
longer-term commercial applications for this high-yield neutron generator. These include medical isotope
production, neutron radiography, active interrogation for explosives and SNM detection, and Cf-252
replacement. Most applications require the development of specialized moderator assemblies and fixtures
to meet customer requirements. This presentation will discuss the base neutron generator technology and
custom variations and will address a number of the commercial applications in which PNL neutron
generators are currently being utilized.

Plasma Technology and its Potential Applications to
Power Generation and Energy Storage
Abstract
Plasma, known as the fourth state of matter, constitutes over 99.9% of our
universe; however, it is a rare occurrence on Earth. The plasma technology is
increasingly becoming an important processing tool in various industrial fields. Its
proliferation is driven by various economic and regulatory factors, including quest
for improved quality, efficiency and lower cost of production. It is also poised to
substitute some of the existing technologies that do not meet environmental
regulatory standards that are taking effect gradually. In this talk I will present the
state of the art of the plasma technology, with some examples of their applications,
including their direct and indirect applications to power generation and energy
storage.

16. Development of A New Neutronic Signal Processing System to
Improve The CANDU Reactor SDS1 Performance during Large
Break of LOCA Events
Lingzhi Xia, Manir Isham, Vladimir Ponomarev, Hossam A.Gabbar
Abstract
For CANDU reactors, several options to improve CANDU power plant operation safety
margin have been investigated in this paper. A particular attention is paid to the response
time of CANDU shutdown system number 1 (SDS1) in case of large break loss of coolant
accident (LLOCA). Based on point kinetic method, a systematic fundamental analysis is
performed to CANDU LLOCA event, and the power transient signal is generated. In
order to improve the SDS1 response time during LLOCA events, an innovative power
measurement and signal processing system is specifically designed. The new signal
processing system is implemented with the input of the LLOCA power transient, and the
simulation results of the reactor trip time and signal are compared to those of the existing
system in CANDU power plants. It is demonstrated that the new signal processing system
can not only achieve a shorter reactor trip time than the existing system, but also
accommodate the spurious trip immunity. This will significantly enhance the safety
margin for the power plant operation, or bring extra economical benefits to the power
plant units.

TEGSS: Thermoelectric Generator Safety System
Abstract
Nuclear safety has become a key topic related to public welfare due to the recent
radiological release in Japan. The Thermoelectric Generator Safety System for nuclear
plants will enhance safety by providing power during an accident scenario. The accident
scenario in consideration is a total loss of grid and on-site power. The power produced is
derived by converting the heat energy that needs to be dissipated during a reactor trip into
DC power utilizing Thermoelectric Generators (TEG’s). This power can be used for
equipment in the control room or other areas as required. The main benefit of the TEGSS is
that it provides an independent power source to the facility as long as there is heat within the
reactor. This system will provide an additional level of defence at nuclear facilities to ensure
that their vital safety functions remain operational over a sufficient period of time and
maintain control over the facility.

25. Integrating FSN in Design for Experiments for
Application to Safety Verification of Nuclear Fuel
Emmanuel Boafo, Hossam A. Gaber
Abstract
The safety of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) is an important issue that is of concern to all
including; regulators, operators and the general public. Assuring the safety of a NPP is a
primary objective by all stakeholders. Faults are abnormal conditions that may occur in a
system and accurate fault diagnosis and propagation analysis is essential in preventing and
mitigating accidents in NPP. The use of simulation in NPP is essential for fault prediction,
understanding fault propagation scenarios and to aid in the prevention of hazardous
scenarios. It is however known that simulation results do not match real time plant data. In
this study, co-simulation with reduced error between simulation models and real time data is
proposed for improved fault diagnosis and fault propagation analysis as well as for safety
verification of NPP. This would be achieved using Fault Semantic Network (FSN) together
with other methods for fault propagation analysis in determining time delays, probabilities
and establishing rules between process variables and system states. Some case studies
considered for the application of the proposed method have been described.

Abstract
The Laser Wake Field Acceleration (LWFA) has been simulated using the ElmerFEM
software with a hybrid mesh adaptive MHD plasma model, and the Large Eddy Simulation
approach for the turbulence tracking. The intention of such simulation was to evaluate the
computational performance of ElmerFEM with respect to some of the existing particle-in-
cell codes and to evaluate its usability for high energy plasma phenomena. Furthermore,
upon the verification with the existing benchmarked software the model is evaluated with
respect to the existing works on the LWFA and compared in terms of the deviation from the
established results.

29. Study of MHD and Monte Carlo Simulation of High-
Current Plasma Beams in Industrial Applications
Luping Zhang, Hossam A. Gabber
Abstract
High-current plasma has been widely applied in industrial applications recent years, such as plasma
gasification, fusion power generation. High current is regarded as an important parameter to be studied in
plasma simulation aspect so that people can use and control plasma easily and keep themselves safe.
Computational modelling of plasma and industrial applications are of great importance due to its proved
benefits. In this study, high-current plasma beams are evaluated using two methods:
Magnetohydrodyanmics (MHD) and Monte Carlo (MC) methods. For MHD method, the velocity,
pressure, magnetic field of high-current plasma beams are computed by solving conservation equations of
mass, momentum, and energy, as well as part of Maxwell’s equations. For MC method, MC code is
developed for calculation of particle tracks and flux, heat and energy deposited by plasma beams.
Transport process of electron and collisions between particles are simulated in electromagnetic field based
on MC theory. Details of assumptions, equations, boundary conditions and parameters for high-current
plasma beams simulation have been analyzed. This research utilizes modeling and simulation of plasma
beam to support design and implementation on industrial applications. Two specific cases have been
discussed: waste-to-energy technology and fusion energy generation. Plasma simulation will help us
explore complex and coupled phenomena surrounding the plasma and it will be used to better understand
physical processes involved in industrial applications and operations of plasma beams.

30. Anas Abdel Rihem
Biography
Anas Abdel Rihem is a 4th year Nuclear Engineering student at UOIT. I am the
student Board of Director for the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science
at the school. I have been a Research Assistant beneath the mentor-ship of
Professor Hossam Gaber for a year, working closely on projects that included
controlled nuclear fusion, plasma gasification and an array of plasma diagnostic
methodologies, including Thomson scattering. I aspire to be an engineer that looks
to thrive in the field of Nuclear Science and am keenly interested in professionally
contributing to the vast disciplines of Plasma and Nuclear Engineering. I have
been motivated to pursue advanced commercialized ventures in innovation
surrounding these fields, and am currently participating in an endeavor that may
open this path fruitfully, beneath the title of LENR/LANR (Low-Energy-Nuclear-
Reactions or Lattice-Assisted-Nuclear-Reactions).

31. LENR/LANR: A Possible Alternative to Hot
Fusion for Harnessing Nuclear Energy
Anas Abdel Rihem, Hossam A.Gabbar
Abstract
The endeavor of harnessing nuclear energy has always been seen by scientists and engineers as the path to
the groves of renewable, sustainable energy. In retrospect to all other methods of energy generation,
nuclear fusion stands as one of the pinnacles in terms of theoretical outputs and practical understanding,
our star being the most obvious example. This path however, has been no easy journey. With the high
walls of the coulomb barrier obstructing the reaction from occurring, intense temperatures and pressures
are required in order overcome this process. Due to this, it has been long understood that nuclear fusion
reactions involving deuterium could only be done with large capacity equipment and millions of dollars in
funding. However, herein we would like to illustrate that it has been recently shown this does not have to
be the case. There has been a buzz in the scientific community since the 1960‘s, which has now
transformed into an intellectual wave growing at a rate that would depreciate what we consider a
monsoon. It is about the possibility of fusing two nuclei together at low temperatures and pressures, by
changing the environment the nuclear reaction takes place in, such as a metal lattice, which
when interacting with the embedded nuclei, causes the coulomb barrier to theoretically lower, akin to
what a catalyst does. A thorough history, claims, recent experiments, data to support analyses about these
experiments, and theoretical proposals will be discussed, which will be hereon forth called LENR/LANR
(Low-Energy-Nuclear-Reaction or Lattice-Assisted-Nuclear-Reaction).
