چکیده
The Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory has conducted a study of the potential applications of isotopic devices and techniques within the Naval Shore Establishment. Radiation characteristics, general applications of isotopic devices, and specific problem areas are discussed. Recommendations are included for the use of surface density and moisture gages in the inspection of compacted earth, and for additional work in the determination of the thickness of in-place steel sheet piling and the thickness and density of concrete.

متن کاملSimultaneous production and quality control of 73Se and 75Se radioisotopes in a 30 MeV cyclotron
Background : Selenium-73 (T 1/2 =7.1h) and Selenium-75 (T 1/2 =119.8d) are useful radioisotopes in many research fields. The wide ranges of applications of these radioisotopes arose great interest for their production. Simultaneous production of 73 Se and 75 Se is more cost-effective and less time-consuming. Materials and Methods : 73 As (p, 3n) 73 Se and 75 As (p,n) 75 Se reactions were determ...
