Verification measurements of the IRMM-1027 and the IAEA large-sized dried (LSD) spikes

چکیده
In the frame of the accountancy measurements of the fissile materials, reliable determinations of the plutonium and uranium content in spent nuclear fuel are required to comply with international safeguards agreements. Large-sized dried (LSD) spikes of enriched 235U and 239Pu for isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) analysis are routinely applied in reprocessing plants for this purpose. A correct characterisation of these elements is a pre-requirement for achieving high accuracy in IDMS analyses. This paper will present the results of external verification measurements of such LSD spikes performed by the European Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Background: Adiponectin is an adipocytokines which is secreted from the adipose tissue of human and domestic animals. No information is available regarding the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in dairy cows. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in different-sized follicles in the luteal phase of the estrous cycle in ...

The method of optimal measurement counting time in Gamma spectrometry for soil samples was studied. Gamma spectrometry was done based on minimum detectable activity using the HPGe- p type with efficiency of 30% and FWHM 1.7keV (for 1.33 MeV 60Co). The samples were IAEA-RG Th-1, IAEA-RGU-1 and IAEA-RGK-1 prepared in bottles. The measurements were done for 12 different counting times from 5 min t...
