Author:Hirschberg, G; Baradlai, P; Varga, K; Myburg, G; Schunk, J; Tilky, P; Stoddart, PDate:01 Mar 1999Formation, presence and deposition of corrosion product radionuclides (such as 60Co, 51Cr, 54Mn, 59Fe and/or 110mAg) in the primary circuits of water-cooled nuclear reactors (PWRs) throw many obstacles in the way of normal operation. During ...Read more
Author:Jacobs, Z; Wintle, AG; Duller, GATDate:May 2006In previous work the conventional Single aliquot regenerative protocol procedure has been demonstrated to work well for a large number of samples. Application of the conventional SAR procedure (but with a range of pre-heat temperatures) to ...Read more
Author:Jacobs, Z; Duller, GAT; Wintle, AGDate:Mar 2006Recent development of an instrument for measuring the optically stimulated luminescence signal from individual mineral grains has made it practicable to measure the equivalent dose (De) from many hundreds or thousands of single mineral grains ...Read more
Author:Morris, WM; Simpson, BRSDate:Feb 2004Radioactive water standards prepared in Marinelli beakers can pose a problem due to potential leakage that can both compromise the standard and present a safety hazard. These difficulties can be circumvented by solidifying the standard such ...Read more
Author:Van Wyngaardt, WM; Simpson, BRSDate:01 Aug 2006A simple counting technique to measure mixtures of two pure beta-emitting radionuclides is described. The method is based on elements of two liquid scintillation techniques that are widely used to measure single-radionuclide solutions, namely ...Read more
