    Comparing deep learning architectures on gamma-spectroscopy analysis for nuclear waste characterization
    2021 - OTERO, A.G.L.; POTIENS JUNIOR, A.J.; MARUMO, J.T.
    Neural networks, particularly deep neural networks, are used nowadays with great success in several tasks, such as image classification, image segmentation, translation, text to speech, speech to text, achieving super-human performance. In this study, the capabilities of deep learning are explored on a new field: gamma-spectroscopy analysis, comparing the classification performance of different deep neural network architectures. The following architectures where tested: VGG-16, VGG-19, Xception, ResNet, InceptionV3, and MobileNet, which are available through the Keras Deep Learning framework to identify several different radionuclides (Am-241, Ba133, Cd-109, Co-60, Cs-137, Eu-152, Mn-54, Na-24, and Pb-210). Using an HPGe detector to acquire several gamma spectra from different sealed sources to create a dataset used for the training and validation of the neural network's comparison. This study demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of applying deep learning on gamma-spectroscopy analysis for nuclear waste characterization.

    Use of plasma reactor to viabilise the volumetric reduction of radioactive wastes
    2020 - PRADO, E.S.P.; MIRANDA, F.S.; PETRACONI, G.; POTIENS JUNIOR, A.J.
    Nuclear reactors, hospitals, industries and research institutes generate considerable amounts of radioactive waste every day. To dispose this waste in a safe and costeffective manner, it must be treated by immobilising the radionuclides and, for better stocking capacity, it must be volumetrically reduced as much as possible. To this end, plasma technology, among other promising technologies for radioactive waste treatment, exposes radioactive waste to temperatures above 1400 °C, thereby substantially reducing its volume. In the planning and managing of radioactive waste, the challenges related to plasma technology are presented as a motivation factor for the possible implantation of plasma reactors in nuclear plants and research centres, thereby improving radioactive waste management. In this study, a thermal plasma treatment process was established, and a plasma reactor was used for compactable waste processing. After 30 min of thermal plasma treatment, the volume reduction factor reached 1:99. The results demonstrate the viability of using a thermal plasma process for the volumetric reduction of radioactive waste in a safe and cost-effective manner.
