Applied Radiation and Isotopes

چکیده
All low-level laboratories require HPGe detectors to meet certain technical specifications, some of which are not available from manufacturers prior to purchase. Ensuring an HPGe detector is fit for purpose requires the purchase and installation of a detector in the laboratory, incurring both financial risk and considerable time and effort. We show that the optimal HPGe crystal for low-level laboratories has a diameter matched to the source and a length providing 70% absorption of the gamma-rays of interest.

Determination of uranium isotopes (234U, 238U) and natural uranium (U-nat) in water samples by alpha spectrometry
Background: Due to the potential public health effects of releases of uranium to the environment, isotopic determination and measurement of this radionuclide in environmental samples is very important. Achieving this goal, monitoring programs for this radionuclide seems necessary to be applied in many countries. Materials and Methods: The uranium was separated from the water samples using anion...
متن کاملCalculation of beta absorbed fractions for iodine isotopes in ellipsoidal thyroid lobe
Background: The thyroid gland absorbs nearly all the iodine in the blood, independently of its isotopic composition. When a large enough activity of radioactive iodine like 131I, 132I, 133I is taken into the body, it can destroy the healthy thyroid gland cells as well as the cancer’s cells. In fact, as it is well known, some isotopes of iodine are used not only for acquiring thyroid image...
