Vacancy formation enthalpy at high pressures in tantalum
Using a mixed basis pseudopotential method, total energy calculations were performed to obtain the enthalpy of vacancy formation in Ta as a function of pressure, which is important for understanding the effects of pressure on mechanical properties. The vacancy formation enthalpy is found to increase from 2.95 eV at ambient pressures to 12.86 eV at 300 GPa, and the vacancy formation volume decre...
متن کاملWhat Is Depleted Uranium
T na m What Is Depleted Uranium? Depleted uranium is created as a byproduct during the processing of natural uranium to make it suitable for use as fuel in nuclear power plants or as a component in nuclear weapons. In natural uranium, 99.27% of the mass consists of atoms of uranium-238. About 0.72% of the mass consists of atoms of uranium-235, and a very small amount (0.0055% by mass) is uraniu...
متن کاملA Review on Toxicodynamics of Depleted Uranium
Depleted uranium (DU) is an important by product in uranium enrichment process. Due toits applications in civilian and also military activity, DU emerged as environmental pollutant.The exposure to DU can occur via external or internal pathways. In external exposure, mainlybeta radiation from the decay products contributes to DU toxicity. Internal exposure to DUis more im...

متن کاملDepleted Uranium in the food chain at south of Iraq
Background: Depleted Uranium (DU) is uranium with low content of U 235 produced as a result of uranium enrichment. DU has high density (19.05 g /cm3), which is 2.54 more than Iron, so it’s high penetrating power makes it preferable as emanations with high penetration power. It was used in second Gulf ware in 1991 for first time. The radioactivity of soil, plants, fruit, meat, milk and water i...
