A two-fold way to increase the sensitivity of the optical sensor is proposed and numerically investigated. The sensor based on the coupled photonic crystal cavities is calculated as an illustration of the proposed approach. The correspondence between analytical and numerical modeling approach is demonstrated.
The results of computational studies of the radiation characteristics and mass of the structures in the VVER-1200 reactor facility in the AES-2006 design with respect to the activity group as a function of the holding period after final shutdown of the power-generating unit are presented. The three-dimensional program KATRIN was used to obtain the radiation characteristics. It is shown that after final shutdown all metal structures in VVER-1200 will remain radioactive wastes for up to 150 years and the concrete structures after a holding period of more than 60 years will remain in the radioactive materials category.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
