Mass-yield distribution of the fission products in fallout from the 14 may 1965 nuclear explosion.

چکیده
Twenty single particles separated from a 20-liter sample of rain collected in Osaka, Japan, shortly after the 14 May 1965 test explosion of the Chinese nuclear device, were analyzed radiochemically. The abundance pattern of the fission products in these particles resembled the shape of the mass-yield curve for the thermal neutron-induced fission of uranium-235, except for the facts that cesium-hl37 and strontium-90 were markedly depleted and the yields near the symmetric fission region appeared to be somewhat enhanced.

Recent Fukushima nuclear detonation, Chernobyl nuclear fallout, three mile island nuclear accident and atomic bomb explosion – rethinking the effects of nuclear radiations over human health
Background: The earlier Atomic Bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. The central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...

Fission of 238U nuclei was performed by 45-69 MeV protons at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center of Tohoku University in Japan. The fission products originated in the reaction were identified by using gamma spectroscopy. The experimental data show that the charge distribution of isobar fission products follows a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation independent of the selected mass...

Thin targets of 238U were bombarded with 45, 55, 65 and 69 MeV protons at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC) of Tohoku University in Japan. Gamma rays emitted from the fission products were recorded and analyzed by using gamma spectroscopy. Then, the cross sections for the formation of fission products, fragment mass distributions, and total fission cross sections were measured. Spec...
متن کاملDecrease of total activity with time at long distances from a nuclear accident or explosion.
Two data groups were analyzed: (1) the exposure rate in the former Czechoslovakia after the Chernobyl accident in 1986, and (2) the decrease of beta activity of an atmospheric fallout sample taken in Bratislava during 24 h on 30 May 1965. Both quantities decreased with the first power of time. This pattern of decrease is explained by applying the same mathematical formalism as is also used to d...
متن کاملDetermination of 135Cs and 137Cs in environmental samples: A review
Radionuclides of caesium are environmentally important since they are formed as significant high yield fission products (Cs and Cs) and activation products (Cs and Cs) during nuclear fission. They originate from a range of nuclear activities such as weapons testing, nuclear reprocessing and nuclear fuel cycle discharges and nuclear accidents. Whilst Cs, Cs and Cs are routinely measurable at hig...
