dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An apparatus that generates and deflect silver-109 atoms with an inhomogeneous and homogeneous magnetic field was constructed. The experimental results found using this apparatus were used to make a recommendation, to the idea of removing silver-110 atoms from the helium fluid of Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) with an inhomogeneous magnetic field based on the Stern-Gerlach principle. It is shown that experimental results corresponded well with the theoretical predictions. The apparatus was also used for a practical for a course for mechanical engineers in modern physics. | en_ZA |
