He named it after Europe. A steel-gray metal with a body-centered cubic crystal lattice, europium is difficult to prepare. It is quite soft and malleable. It oxidizes rapidly in air and may burn spontaneously. It is the most reactive of the rare earth metals; it liberates hydrogen from water; and it reduces metallic oxides. It reacts with water and is soluble in liquid ammonia. Europium is used for the capture of thermal neutrons for nuclear control rods in atomic power stations. While its salts are used in coatings for cathode ray tubes in color televisions, organoderivatives are used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

The data given in this report are to be used together with the text and dosimetric models described in Part 1 of ICRP Publication 30;’ the chapters referred to in this preface relate to that report. In order to derive values of the Annual Limit on Intake (ALI) for radioisotopes of scandium, the following assumptions have been made. In the metabolic data for scandium, a fraction 0.4 of the element in the transfer compartment is translocated to the skeleton. It is assumed thit this scandium in the skeleton is distributed between cortical bone, trabecular bone and red marrow in proportion to their respective masses.

  • IMPACT of LASER and NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES V.S.LETOKHOV
    Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Advanced Nuclear Energy Research -INNOVATIVE LASER TECHNOLOGIES IN NUCLEAR ENERGY- IMPACT of LASER and NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES V.S.LETOKHOV Institute of Spectroscopy Russian Academy of Sciences Triotzk, Moscow Region, 142092, RUSSIA A brief review is given of the applications of laser spectroscopy techniques and laser separation processes at an atomic-molecular level in nuclear physics and technology. Keywords: laser spectroscopy, laser separation, isotopes, nuclear isomers. 1. INTRODUCTION A series of principally new technologies have been developed over the 20th century that have formed the basis for a revolution in modem science and engineering. While lagging in its evolution some 30-40 years behind the nuclear technology, the laser technology has already reached a level allowing it to exert a noticeable effect on other fields of science and technology, nuclear physics and technology in particular. It should be emphasized in this respect that the laser technology is now at its exponential development stage still far from saturation. And so its application trends observed to exist today will be enhanced many times over in the years to come. Table 1 generally lists the main trends in the application of lasers in the nuclear technology, the types of lasers needed for particular applications being indicated. The lecture briefly considers only the first two trends based on the resonance laser- matter interaction, which enable one to implement laser detection (and diagnostics) and laser separation at an atomic-molecular level. The applications based on nonresonance laser- matter interaction are equally important but they fall outside the scope of my interests.

    MEETING ISOTOPE NEEDS AND CAPTURING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FUTURE: THE 2015 LONG RANGE PLAN FOR THE DOE-NP ISOTOPE PROGRAM NSAC ISOTOPES SUBCOMMITTEE JULY 2015 Meeting Isotope Needs and Capturing Opportunities for the Future: The 2015 Long Range Plan for the DOE-NP Isotope Program NSAC Isotopes Subcommittee July 20, 2015 About the Cover: The cover represents the varied facets of the DOE Isotope Program. The backbone of the program is the chemical elements, which come with varying atomic weights called isotopes. The lower part of the cover shows a chart of the isotopes where each row is an element and each square in the row represents an isotope. The color code is by half-life. The cover illustrates the wide range and importance of isotopes to the Nation, with examples from biology and medicine, physical sciences and chemistry, and national security and engineering. Illustrated at the center right are two keys to the program: the skilled workforce and continuing advances in technology, (epitomized in this photo by a new science user facility, FRIB, under construction). Upper right: 124I PET images of a patient before and after the administration of the cancer drug selumetinib, which causes increased uptake of radio-iodine into metastatic thyroid cancer. In this theranostic isotope pair, increased uptake of the 124I provides the PET image documentation of the beneficial effect, while increased uptake of 131I kills the cancer cells. Upper left: Image of the sample of 249Bk, made at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the experiment that discovered element 117.
