通过铀床向Zr_0.85Ti_0.15Co床转移氚过程中,研究氦-3对Zr_0.85Ti_0.15Co合金吸氚特性的影响,并结合Ortman模型分析氦-3影响机理。结果表明：氦-3对床体的屏蔽效应明显影响粉末的吸附性能,但屏蔽效应并不能完全抑制Zr_0.85Ti_0.15Co的吸氚反应,覆盖现象严重时其仍能在较低的速率持续吸氚直至吸附完全;氦-3浓度较低时,吸氚完成时间主要由氦-3浓度影响,而氦-3浓度较高时,主要由初始氚分压影响;氦-3对Zr_0.85Ti_0.15Co吸氚的屏蔽过程分为整体流阶段和扩散散流阶段,Ortman模型可较好的预测整体流阶段的氦-3屏蔽压强。

充氚不锈钢中氦行为的PAL和TEM研究

对充氚和未充氚的抗氢-2(HR-2)不锈钢样品进行退火处理,利用正电子湮没寿命谱(PAL)以及透射电镜(TEM)等技术探讨不锈钢中氦和微缺陷的相互作用。未充氚样品中,退火温度对缺陷态的影响主要表现为偏聚物在晶界的析出。充氚样品实验中,退火温度小于300℃时,充氚不锈钢中的He原子主要通过自捕获机制在晶内缺陷处聚集成泡;热处理温度为300～600℃时,充氚不锈钢中的He原子主要通过热迁移的方式迁移至晶界导致晶界宽化,但晶界处无明显的He泡形成;热处理温度大于600℃时,热平衡空位开始发挥作用,与聚集在晶内缺陷处的He原子结合形成He泡,且随退火温度的升高,He泡有明显聚合长大的现象。

Characteristics of pulsed photo-stimulated luminescence and thermoluminescence for the identification of gamma irradiated poultry eggs

Pulsed photo-stimulated luminescence (PPSL) is a simple screening method that can be employed qualitatively at the spot for the detection of eggs treated with ionizing radiation.Due to the variations in the results during storage,the eggs of ostrich,duck,hen,and quail were irradiated to doses of 0,1,2,and 3 kGy.Most of the samples were incorrectly identified during storage after four months of irradiation.Thermoluminescence (TL) technique was also tried by using egg shells in order to confirm the irradiation treatment in eggs.TL glow curves were recorded between the temperatures 50℃to 400℃at the rate of 5°/s for all the control and irradiated samples.On the basis of integrated areas of first glow curves (TL1),the glow curve ratios (TL1/TL2) and the shapes of maxima of TL1, the irradiation treatment of all the eggs was confirmed.Furthermore,the presence of calcite and aragonite minerals that cause the TL signal in the egg shells were studied using X-ray diffraction spectrometry.     

数字射线扫描成像系统MTF的测试分析

为有效实现数字射线扫描成像检测系统性能的定量分析评价,据此进行检测工艺参数的优化,对数字射线扫描成像检测系统调制传递函数(Modulation transfer function,MTF)进行了测试分析。采用刀口工具、双线型像质计、分辨率测试卡,对系统在不同焦点大小、放大倍数、运动方向的检测情况,分别进行了MTF的测试并进行了比较。结果表明,双线型像质计与分辨率测试卡的测试结果基本一致,但双线型像质计更便于对比度的定量计算;双线型像质计的对比度传递函数近似符合二次曲线,经转换得到的调制传递函数值高于刀口法的测试值,刀口法计算数值偏低的原因在于运动不平稳所带来的不利影响。分析表明,数字射线扫描成像系统性能受到多个因素的共同影响,MTF测试结果可较全面地对影响因素进行定量评价,可用于确定最佳的检测参数或找出等价的参数组合。

Simulation of the mixing process in FCIs with hydrodynamic fragmentation model

Fuel Coolant Interactions (FCIs) are important issues in nuclear reactor severe accident analysis. In FCIs, fragmentation model of molten droplets is a key factor to estimate degree of possible damage. In this paper, the mixing process in FCIs is studied by the simulation of MIXA experiment with hydrodynamic fragmentation model. The result shows that hydrodynamic fragmentation model underestimates the fragmentation rate of high temperature molten droplets under the condition of low Weber numbers. It is concluded that models based on thermal fragmentation mechanism should be adopted to analyze the FCI process and its consequence.     

Activity level of gross α and gross β in airborne aerosol samples around the Qinshan NPP

The monitoring results of gross α and gross β activity from 2001 to 2005 for environmental airborne aerosol samples around the Qinshan NPP base are presented in this paper. A total of 170 aerosol samples were collected from monitoring sites of Caichenmen village, Qinlian village, Xiajiawan village and Yangliucun village around the Qinshan NPP base. The measured specific activity of gross α and gross β are in the range of 0.02 ～ 0.38 mBq/m3 and 0.10 ～ 1.81 mBq/m3, respectively, with an average of 0.11 mBq/m3 and 0.45mBq/m3, respectively. They are lower than the average of 0.15 mBq/m3 and 0.52mBq/m3, of reference site at Hangzhou City. It is indicated that the specific activity of gross α and gross β for environmental aerosol samples around the Qinshan NPP base had not been increased in normal operating conditions of the NPP.

Probing stray surface electric patch fields using Rydberg atoms

The stray electric “patch” fields present at a Au(1 1 1) surface are investigated by studying the ionization of Rydberg atoms incident at near-grazing angles. Measurements of the threshold conditions required to observe the resulting ions are used to estimate how large such stray fields can be. The data show that the stray fields can be sizeable, as large as ∼10³ V cm⁻¹ 100 nm from the surface and ∼20 V cm⁻¹ 500 nm from the surface, and illustrate the potential of Rydberg atoms for detecting and characterizing surface electric fields.     

Evaluation of decay data of 213Bi

213Bi disintegrates (97.91±0.03) % by β- emission to the levels in 213po, and (2.09±0.03) % through α decay to 209Tl. The evaluation of the complete decay scheme and data of 213Bi including the recent new measurements are presented in this report. The Limitation of Relative Statistical Weight Method (LWM) was applied to average numbers throughout the evaluation. The uncertainty assigned to the average value was always greater than or equal to the smallest uncertainty of the values used to calculate the average. The half-life is determined to be 45.59±0.06 minutes. All known measured gamma-ray relative emission probabilities have been examined. And the gamma-ray emission probability of the reference γ line of 440.44keV is recommended to be (26.1±0.3) %. The calculated internal conversion coefficients and their uncertainties have been used to obtain the complete decay intensity balance. The other decay characteristics are calculated using the ENSDF analysis program. Finally the new 213Bi decay scheme was re-built.     

Effects of molten material temperatures and coolant temperatures on vapor explosion

An observable experiment facility for low-temperature molten materials to be dropped into water was set up in this study to investigate the mechanism of the vapor explosion. The effect of the fuel and coolant interaction (FCI) on the vapor explosion during the severe accidents of a fission nuclear reactor has been studied. The experiment results showed that the molten material temperature has an important effect on the vapor explosion behavior and pressure. The increase of the coolant temperature would decrease the pressure of the vapor explosion.
