In the interior of the lava fountains, the white-orange color indicates maximum temperatures of about 1120°C; deeper orange in both the fountains and flows reflects decreasing temperatures (<1100°C) at edges and the surface. (b) High winds swept the exposed ridges, and the filter cannister was changed in the shelter of a p^hoehoc (lava) ridge to protect the sample from gas contamination. (c) Because of the high temperatures and acid gases, special clothing and equipment was necessary to protect the eyes. nose, lungs, and skin. Safety features included military flight suits of nonflammable fabric, fuil-face respirators that are equipped with dual acidic gas filters (purple attachments), hard hats, heavy, thick-soled boots, and protective gloves. We used portable radios to keep in touch with the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, where the area's seismic activity was monitored continuously. (d) Spatter activity in the Pu'u O Vent during the January 1984 eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Magma visible in the circular conduit oscillated in a piston-like fashion; spatter was ejected to heights of 1 to 10 m. During this activity, we sampled gases continuously for 5 hours at the west edge. Cover photo: This aerial view of Kilauea Volcano was taken in April 1984 during overflights to collect gas samples from the plume. The bluish portion of the gas plume contained a far higher density of fine-grained scoria (ash).

  • Chapter 5 PROPERTIES of IRRADIATED LBE and Pb*

    Chapter 5 PROPERTIES of IRRADIATED LBE and Pb*

    Chapter 5 PROPERTIES OF IRRADIATED LBE AND Pb* 5.1 Introduction Lead and LBE possess favourable properties as both a spallation neutron target material and as a coolant for ADS and reactor systems. For ADS applications, these properties include: 1) a high yield of about 28 n for LBE and 24 n for Pb per 1 GeV proton; 2) both melts have an extremely small neutron absorption cross-section; (3) a small scattering cross-section [Gudowski, 2000]. As a coolant, lead and LBE possess: 1) high boiling points; 2) high heat capacities; (3) inert behaviour with respect to reaction with water. For safe operation and post-irradiation handling of LBE and Pb it is necessary to know the nuclides generated during irradiation. Some of these nuclides are volatile, hazardous and rather long-lived. Their behaviour within the system is strongly influenced by the environment including the oxygen content and temperature. If volatiles are produced, their release rates under specific conditions must be evaluated. The release of volatiles may be prevented by the application of a suitable absorber. Protons of 600 MeV energy induce spallation reactions in heavy materials such as Pb and Bi. These reactions generate direct spallation products, consisting of nuclei with masses close to that of the target nuclei. At the high energies involved multiple inelastic reactions are possible. Therefore, one must expect a large number of isotopes as products. For instance, reactions on Pb generate Hg isotopes roughly from 180Hg to 206Hg. Similarly, reactions of protons on Bi generate Po isotopes up to 209Po. 210Po is generated by neutron capture on 209Bi, and subsequent E decay of the compound nucleus 210Bi.

Box 1072, Schenectady, New York 12301 Received June 6, 2014 Accepted July 15, 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.13182/NSE14-80 Abstract – Neutron capture measurements were performed with the time-of-flight method at the Gaerttner LINAC Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) using isotopically enriched gadolinium (Gd) samples (155Gd, 156Gd, 157Gd, 158Gd, and 160Gd). The neutron capture measurements were made at the 25-m flight station with a 16-segment sodium iodide multiplicity detector. After the data were collected and reduced to capture yields, resonance parameters were obtained by a combined fitting of the neutron capture data for five enriched Gd isotopes and one natural Gd sample using the multilevel R-matrix Bayesian code SAMMY. A table of resonance parameters and their uncertainties is presented. We observed 2, 169, 96, and 1 new resonances in 154Gd, 155Gd, 157Gd, and 158Gd isotopes, respectively. Resonances in the ENDF/B-VII.0 evaluation that were not observed in the current experiment and could not be traced to a literature reference were removed.
