Radioactive Contamination of Large Irradiated Fuel Transport Flasks

Radioactive contamination of scintillators

Low counting experiments (search for double β decay and dark matter particles, measurements of neutrino fluxes from different sources, search for hypothetical nuclear and subnuclear processes, low background α, β, γ spectrometry) require extremely low background of a detector. Scintillators are widely used to search for rare events both as conventional scintillation detectors and as cryogenic s...

Thule-2003 - Investigation of Radioactive Contamination

Radioactive contamination of ZnWO4 crystal scintillators

The radioactive contamination of ZnWO4 crystal scintillators has been measured deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN in Italy with a total exposure 3197 kg × h. Monte Carlo simulation, time-amplitude and pulse-shape analyses of the data have been applied to estimate the radioactive contamination of the ZnWO4 samples. One of the ZnWO4 crystals has also been te...

Analytical investigations of irradiated inert matrix fuel

Yttria stabilised zirconia (YSZ) inert matrix fuel (IMF) fabricated at PSI and irradiated 3 years in the Halden Material Test Reactor (HBWR) since 2000, has been examined by Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) after irradiation and compared with data gained for the unirradiated material. The examined pellet cross-section was estimated to have an equiva...

بوزدایی از ‏‎fuel oil deodorization of fuel oil‎‏

مطالعات و بررسی های انجام گرفته نشان می دهد ترکیبات بودار موجود در ‏‎fuel oil‎‏ عمدتا ترکیبات سولفوردار سخت مثل تیوفن، دی متیل بنزوتیوفن و ... بوده و روشهای بوزدایی همچون استخراج با حلالهای اسیدی و بازی ، رقیق کاری با گازولین ، ماسکینگ با بوتیل استات نتایج چندان مطلوبی در بوزدایی از آن نشان نمی دهند.همچنین روش جذب سطحی برای بوزدایی ‏‎fuel oil‎‏ تنها با استفاده از جاذب هایی همچون بنتونیت و توفیت...
