During the last few decades, rare isotope beam facilities have provided unique data for studying properties of nuclides located far from beta-stability line. Such nuclei are often accompanied by exotic structures and radioactive modes, which represent forefront nuclear research. Among them, two-proton (2p) radioactivity is a decay mode found in highly proton-rich isotopes. The 2p lifetimes emit...

Owing to their large size proteinaceous drugs offer higher operative information content compared to the small molecules that correspond to the traditional understanding of druglikeness. As a consequence these drugs allow developing patient-specific therapies that provide the means to go beyond the possibilities of current drug therapy. However, the efficacy of these strategies, in particular "...

Passive γ-ray spectroscopy is a useful technique for surveying the radioactive wastes and spent nuclear fuels under decommissioning. However, this method depends on material properties such as activity, density, element, scale, (especially) low-energy γ rays from 235U 239Pu. The γ-decay lines of 134Cs, 137Cs, 60Co, 154Eu occur at greater energies (than those 239Pu), these nuclides provide signi...

This paper reviews the scientific literature for new measurements of both non-neutron and neutron nuclear data. Some of the highlights of this review are the following items. There was a withdrawal of a previous claim for discovery of element 118. There have been new measurements of some isotopic abundance values that have led to changes for many elements. There was a new set of recommended sta...

Automatic measurement of radioactivity is necessary for considering cost effectiveness in final radiological survey of building structures in decommissioning nuclear facilities. The RAPID (radiation measuring pilot device for surface contamination) was developed to be applied to automatic measurement of low level contamination on concrete surfaces. The RAPID has a capability to measure contamin...

This work explores the multi-element capabilities of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry with collision/reaction cell technology (CCT-ICP-MS) for the simultaneous determination of both spectrally interfered and non-interfered nuclides in wine samples using a single set of experimental conditions. The influence of the cell gas type (i.e. He, He+H2 and He+NH3), cell gas flow rate and sam...
