Krausová, Ivana; Mizera, Jiří; Chvátil, David; Krist, Pavel; Řanda, Zdeněk; Kučera, Jan; Štursa, Jan
2013 - Czech
A procedure has been developed for assaying nitrogen in biological materials by means of instrumental photon activation analysis (IPAA). The determination has been based on counting of the non-specific 511 keV annihilation gamma rays of 13N, product of the photonuclear reaction 14N(γ, n)13N and a pure positron emitter. IPAA allowed determination of nitrogen down to 1 wt.%. in selected biological reference standards - NIST RM 8433 Corn Bran, 1547 Peach Leaves, 8414 Bovine Muscle, and 1577b Bovine Liver. The optimized procedure was applied also to assaying nitrogen in pulverized nanodiamond intended for medical purposes. Byl vyvinut postup instrumentální gama aktivační analýzy (IGAA) pro stanovení dusíku v biologických materiálech. Stanovení je založeno na měření nespecifického anihilačního záření gama o energii 511 keV emitovaného 13N, který je produktem fotojaderné reakce 14N(γ, n)13N a je čistým pozitronovým zářičem. Metoda IGAA umožnila stanovení dusíku pod úrovní 1 hmotnostního procenta ve vybraných biolgických referenčních materiálech - NIST RM 8433 Corn Bran, 1547 Peach Leaves, 8414 Bovine Muscle, and 1577b Bovine Liver. Optimalizovaný postup byl také použit pro stanovení dusíku v práškových nanodiamantech pro lékařské účely.

Mizera, Jiří; Řanda, Zdeněk
2013 - Czech
A set of Australasian tektites (AAT) has been geochemically characterized by methods of activation analysis. Based on the acquired data as well as previously published geochemical, mineralogical, petrographical and isotopic data on both AAT and their potential source materials, and considering geographic and ballistic constraints known from other tektites and their strewn fields, probable source materials and location of the parent impact crater for AAT have been discussed. Soubor australoasijských tektitů (AAT) byl geochemicky charakterizován metodami aktivační analýzy. Na základě získaných výsledků a dříve publikovaných geochemických, mineralogických, petrografických a izotopových dat pro AAT a jejich potencionální zdrojové materiály, spolu s uvážením geografických a balistických omezení známých pro jiné tektity a jejich pádová pole, jsou diskutovány pravděpodobné zdrojové materiály a lokalizace mateřského impaktového kráteru pro AAT.

Determination of elemental impurities in polymer materials of electrical cables of safety systems of nuclear power plants by neutron activation analysis
Kučera, Jan; Kubešová, Marie; Bartoníček, B.
2013 - Czech
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was employed for elemental characterization of individual components of electrical cables currently used in safety systems of nuclear power plants (NPP). The analysis yielded information about the content of 35 elements. It has been found that the cables do not satisfy requirements of qualification set for the new generation of NPP by „The European Utility Requirements for LWR Nuclear Power Plants”, because content of several elements exceeded the maximal impurity levels. INAA proved to be a method of choice for elemental characterization of polymer materials of electrical cables as part of their qualification for use in NPP. Instrumentální neutronová aktivační analýza (INAA) byla použita k prvkové charakterizaci jednotlivých součástí elektrických kabelů v současnoti používaných v bezpečnostních systémech jaderných elektráren (JE). Analýzou byla získána informace o obsazích 35 prvků. Bylo zjištěno, že kabely nesplňují požadavky na kvalifikaci pro novou generaci JE podle „The European Utility Requirements for LWR Nuclear Power Plants”, protože obsahy několika prvků přesáhly maximální přípustné hodnoty pro nečistoty. Bylo prokázáno, že INAA je vhodnou metodou pro prvkovou charakterizaci polymerních materiálů elektrických kabelů při jejich kvalifikaci pro použití v JE.

In the experiments carried out by ion beam He-6 of the cyclotron complex DRIBs (JINR) and He-3 beam cyclotron U-120M of the NPI, Czech Academy of Sciences have been investigated reaction Sc-45+He-3, He-6 and Au-197+He-3, He-6 in the energy range near the Coulomb barrier. It were obtained the experimental values of the cross sections for complete fusion reactions and direct reactions for formation of the isotopes Sc-43, Sc-44 and Sc-46 also Au-196 and Au-198 as a function of the bombarding He-3 and He-6 energy. Despite the low binding energy of He-3 and the positive Q-values leading to the formation of isotopes Sc-44 and Sc-46 also Au-196 and Au-198, the behavior of the excitation functions with the formation of these isotopes is different from the excitation functions for d, He-6.

Nondestructive Neutron Diffraction Residual Stress Measurements in a Large Depth in Steels
Woo, W.; Em, V.; Mikula, Pavol; Šaroun, Jan; Seong, B. S.
2012 - English
Residual stresses can be effectively and nondestructively measured through a large thickness of e.g. welded plates, by means of a new design of a reactor-based neutron diffractometer. Most of the engineering neutron diffractometers have a difficulty in increasing neutron penetration capability over 25 mm total thickness in steels. However, it can be significantly enhanced up to 70 mm with 4-mm spatial resolution along the depth by using the wavelength selection in combination with neutron focusing by cylindrically bent perfect monochromator. Present paper presents details of neutron diffractometer performance and some results.
