Abstract: This report presents a study on the diffusion of Americium-241 (Am-241) through a capsule. The primary goal is to model the transport mechanism of Am-241 and analysed its behaviour under various conditions. The simulation incorporates factors such as diffusion rates, capsule material properties, and temperature variations. Results demonstrate the efficiency of the diffusion process and provide insights into the containment effectiveness of the capsule. The findings are relevant for applications in nuclear waste management and radiation shielding. Future work may focus on improving the accuracy of the model and exploring alternative containment materials.
