Hybrid donor extractants are a promising class of compounds for the separation trivalent actinides and lanthanides. In this paper, we present new ligand from bipyridyl-dicarboxylic acid diamide family—N,N’-diethyl-N,N’-bis(2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)-[2,2’-bipyridine]-6,6’-dicarboxamide. The synthesis N-ethyl-2,4,5-trimethylaniline pseudocumene by selective acetylation is presented. target was obtai...

The ability to simultaneously identify the direction of both fast neutrons, above 1 MeV, and gamma rays using a light-weight system consisting single 1” EJ-309 organic liquid scintillator plastic Spartan rotating scatter mask (RSM) is demonstrated computationally through Monte Carlo simulations validated with experimental measurements. Two sets directional measurements were performed an americi...
