Abstract

This research investigates radiochemistry and nuclear analysis technologies to make applications safer and more sustainable. A mathematical optimization approach optimizes radiopharmaceutical synthesis parameters for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to maximize yield and minimize radioactive waste. Optimizing critical parameters improves the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of radiochemistry and nuclear technologies in medical imaging, nuclear energy, and environmental monitoring. The numerical example shows that optimization achieves the study goal. Optimization strategies improve medical imaging by increasing radiopharmaceutical yield and decreasing radioactive waste volume. Real-world implementation requires cost-effectiveness, safety restrictions, and numerous synthesis factors. Researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals must collaborate to enhance human and environmental welfare, according to the report. In conclusion, this research advances radiochemistry and nuclear procedures for safer and more sustainable applications, mitigating hazards and environmental effect and ensuring a safer and more sustainable future for nuclear technology.

Abstract

Minimally invasive techniques have transformed medicine by improving patient outcomes and reducing invasiveness. Existing navigation methods, which use fluoroscopy or pre-operative imaging, lack real-time visualization and precision during complex surgeries. Fluoroscopy may also expose patients and medical staff to ionizing radiation. We propose enhanced stereotaxis and real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) integration to overcome these problems and improve minimally invasive intervention precision and safety. Stereotactic guiding and high-resolution real-time MRI imaging are combined in this research to improve medical navigation. The conceptual framework includes modeling the stereotactic system's magnetic field, real-time tracking of magnetic-sensored medical devices, and dynamic MRI imaging for continuous visibility throughout treatments. Stereotactic and MRI data can be fused for simultaneous vision and navigation, and adaptive path planning algorithms allow real-time targeting and avoidance of key structures. A simulated cardiac electrophysiology catheter ablation treatment shows the combined approach's potential benefits. Real-time adaptive navigation reduces radiation exposure and problems while targeting precisely. This research establishes a new medical navigation paradigm that improves precision, patient safety, and radiation exposure. This integrated method could revolutionize minimally invasive procedures across medical disciplines, despite limitations in patient-specific data integration and real-time algorithm development. This new navigation approach needs further research, validation, and clinical trials to confirm its feasibility and efficacy and improve medical patient care

Abstract

Nuclear power plays a vital role in meeting global energy demands, but ensuring the safety of nuclear reactors remains a paramount challenge. In recent years, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has opened new avenues to significantly enhance nuclear reactor safety through predictive anomaly detection and risk assessment. This research proposes an innovative AI-driven approach that integrates machine learning techniques and data analytics to monitor, detect, and assess potential anomalies in nuclear reactors. The research begins with a comprehensive literature review on nuclear reactor safety and the application of AI in various industrial domains, emphasizing predictive maintenance and anomaly detection. It highlights the need for an AI-driven approach to enhance nuclear reactor safety proactively. In conclusion, this research establishes the transformative potential of AI in enhancing nuclear reactor safety. The proposed AI-driven approach empowers operators with powerful tools to ensure the safe and efficient operation of nuclear power plants. As AI technologies continue to advance, the research opens doors for further exploration and development, paving the way for a more sustainable and secure future in nuclear energy production.

Abstract

Sustainable energy routes that improve climate resilience are needed because climate change affects global energy systems. Nuclear energy's low-carbon electricity could mitigate climate change. This study uses the World-TIMES Model to assess its climatic resilience. A mathematical optimization model is used to discover the best energy mix, including nuclear power, to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and meet energy demand and cost limitations. We use a simplified numerical example to demonstrate the concept and assess nuclear energy, renewable sources, and cost-effectiveness trade-offs. Wind and solar electricity are better in the scenario, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. This conclusion is scenario-specific, and real-world difficulties demand more thorough models. Thus, the study emphasizes regional-specific data, dynamic dynamics, and sensitivity analysis. This work improves our understanding of nuclear energy's potential in climate-resilient energy systems and aids policymakers in developing evidence-based energy strategies. The report also emphasizes the importance of renewable energy sources in reaching climate targets and urges future research to solve real-world difficulties and maximize nuclear energy integration in long-term energy planning

Abstract

Nuclear energy has emerged as a viable low-carbon option for electricity generation, but traditional reactor designs face challenges regarding energy density and nuclear waste management. This research explores innovative approaches to optimize nuclear energy density while minimizing long-term environmental impact through reduced waste production. The study compares a traditional Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) with an advanced Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) as the innovative technology. The objectives are to maximize energy density and minimize nuclear waste. A multi-objective optimization model is formulated, incorporating safety, operational, and environmental constraints. Numerical results demonstrate that the MSR achieves a higher energy density (30 MW/kg) than the PWR (20 MW/kg) and produces less waste (0.2 kg/MW vs. 0.5 kg/MW). The research highlights the potential benefits of innovative nuclear technologies and emphasizes the importance of safety evaluations, regulatory considerations, and economic viability for practical implementation. Collaborative efforts and supportive policies are crucial to realizing a sustainable and low-carbon energy future through advanced nuclear solutions
