Since the early times, radioprotection has been focused on the human being. Currently this approach has changed, being now also necessary to take care of the protection of the environment from unwanted effects of ionizing radiation. To this end, several institutions (UNSCEAR, ICRP, IAEA, DOE, ACRP) and consortia of institutions (FASSET, ERICA) have established procedures in order to protect the...

The China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) is a small, sodium-cooled fast reactor with 20 MW(e) of power. Start-up tests the CEFR were performed from 2010 to 2011. Institute Atomic Energy made some neutronics start-up-test data available International Agency (IAEA) as part an international benchmarking exercise by distributing experimental interested organizations member states IAEA. This aims ...

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety requirements: 'General Safety Requirements Part 3--Radiation protection and safety of radiation sources: International Basic Safety Standards' (BSS) was approved by the IAEA Board of Governors at its meeting in September 2011, and was issued as General Safety Requirements Part 3 in July 2014. The equivalent dose limit for the lens of the eye ...

Independent databases of nuclear constants for Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) have been independently maintained by the physics and chemistry communities for many year. They contain thermal neturon cross sections σ0, standardization values k0, and transition probabilities Pγ. Chemistry databases tend to rely upon direct measurements of the nuclear constants k0 and Pγ which are often publishe...

Introduction. In the International Code of Practice for dosimetry TRS-398 published by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), water is recommended as the reference medium for the determination of absorbed dose for high-energy electron beams. Plastic phantoms may be used under certain circumstances for electron beam dosimetry for beam qualities R50 < 4g/cm2 (E0 below 10 MeV). In our study, w...

A pressurized continuous flow system using electromagnetic induction heating technique has been developed for the determination of trace and minor element content in biological samples by microwave induced plasma-optical emission spectrometry (MIP-OES). The system allows the continuous solubilization of samples at an optimized temperature of 120 °C and pressure of 3.5 bar in 40 min. A system wa...
