PRODUCTION ET EMPLOI DES RADIOISOTOPES DE COURTE PÉRIODE OBTENUS DANS DES RÉACTEURS Beaucoup de pays ont à résoudre, pour la première fois, les nouveaux problèmes que posent la production, la séparation et l'application des radioisotopes de courte période. C'est pourquoi l'AIEA a organisé à son siège, à Vienne, en novembre 1962, des journées d'études sur les appli­ cations dee radioisotopes de courte période obtenus dans de petits réacteurs de recherche. Les partici­ pants, qui étaient plus de 150, comprenaient des spécialistes du génie et de la physique des réacteurs, des radiochimistes, des ingénieurs, des hydrologistes, des médecins et des agronomes, venant de 29 Etats Membres. Le présent ouvrage contient tous les mémoires scientifiques pré­ sentés et les discussions auxquelles ils ont donné lieu.

FROM REACTORS, IAEA, VIENNA, 1963 S T I/P U B /6 4 FOREWORD There are many radioisotope applications in which it is important that the radiation should rapidly fall to an insignificant level once the initial intense activity has served its purpose. Such applications include diagnostic tests in medicine, where it is essential to reduce the radiation dose to the patient to a minimum, non-destructive testing methods which must be applied without contaminating the material or product concer.ned, and repeated routine tests which are possible only if the residual activity from the previous test is negligible. All these applications call for radionuclides whose half- lives are measured in hours or even minutes. Similarly, in the new but increasingly important technique of activation analysis, whereby the quantities of elements present in a material can be determined by irradiating the m aterial in a reactor and assaying the radionuclides produced, the latter are mainly short-lived and must be measured immediately. While the production of long-lived radionuclides can most economically be left to the large reactors at the main radioisotope centres, short-lived isotopes must be produced, or m aterials activation performed, in a reactor at or near the place of intended use or analysis; this, then, represents one of the most important uses for the large number of small reactors which have been installed in recent years, or will come into operation in the near future, in many parts of the world. Since in many countries the new problems of producing, separating and applying short-lived radioisotopes are being faced for the first time, the International Atomic Energy Agency believed it would be valuable to survey the state of the art by convening an international Seminar on Practical Applications of Short-lived Radioisotopes produced in Small Research Reactors at its Vienna headquarters in November, 1962. This Seminar provided an opportunity for the producers and users of short-lived radio­ isotopes from many countries to meet and discuss the pr.oblems presented by these new research tools. The more than 150 participants included reactor engineers and physicists, radiation chemists, industrial scientists, hydrologiste, physicians and agriculturalists from 29 Member States. The present proceedings contain all the scientific papers submitted and the discussions which followed them. The wide coverage of the Seminar in both the physical and the life sciences is indicative of the manifold uses of short-lived radioisotopes. Their potentialities are only just beginning to be realized, and the material in these proceedings represents little more than, an introduction to what promises to become a very big subject. It is hoped that it will be found a valuable introduction.

  • 12 Natural Isotopes of Elements Other Than H, C, O
    12 NATURAL ISOTOPES OF ELEMENTS OTHER THAN H, C, O In this chapter we are dealing with the less common applications of natural isotopes. Our discussions will be restricted to their origin and isotopic abundances and the main characteristics. Only brief indications are given about possible applications. More details are presented in the other volumes of this series. A few isotopes are mentioned only briefly, as they are of little relevance to water studies. Based on their half-life, the isotopes concerned can be subdivided: 1) stable isotopes of some elements (He, Li, B, N, S, Cl), of which the abundance variations point to certain geochemical and hydrogeological processes, and which can be applied as tracers in the hydrological systems, 2) radioactive isotopes with half-lives exceeding the age of the universe (232Th, 235U, 238U), 3) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives, mainly daughter nuclides of the previous catagory of isotopes, 4) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives that are of cosmogenic origin, i.e. that are being produced in the atmosphere by interactions of cosmic radiation particles with atmospheric molecules (7Be, 10Be, 26Al, 32Si, 36Cl, 36Ar, 39Ar, 81Kr, 85Kr, 129I) (Lal and Peters, 1967). The isotopes can also be distinguished by their chemical characteristics: 1) the isotopes of noble gases (He, Ar, Kr) play an important role, because of their solubility in water and because of their chemically inert and thus conservative character. Table 12.1 gives the solubility values in water (data from Benson and Krause, 1976); the table also contains the atmospheric concentrations (Andrews, 1992: error in his Eq.4, where Ti/(T1) should read (Ti/T)1); 2) another category consists of the isotopes of elements that are only slightly soluble and have very low concentrations in water under moderate conditions (Be, Al).

  • Nuclear Reactor Realities
    Page 1 of 26 Nuclear Reactor Realities NUCLEAR REACTOR REALITIES (An Australian viewpoint) PREFACE Now that steam ships are no longer common, people tend to forget that nuclear power is just a replacement of coal, oil or gas for heating water to form steam to drive turbines, or of water (hydro) to do so directly. As will be shown in this tract, it is by far the safest way of doing so to generate electricity economically in large quantities – as a marine engineer of my acquaintance is fond of saying. Recently Quantum Market Research released its latest Australian Scan (The Advertiser, Saturday April 17, 2012, p 17). It has been tracking social change by interviewing 2000 Australians annually since 1992. In the concerns in the environment category, “[a]t the top of the list is nuclear accidents and waste disposal” (44.4 per cent), while “global warming” was well down the list of priorities at No 15, with only 27.7 per cent of people surveyed rating the issue as “extremely serious.” Part of the cause of such information must be that people are slowly realising that they have been deluded by publicity about unverified computer models which indicate that man’s emissions of CO2 play a major part in global warming. They have not yet realised that the history of the dangers of civilian nuclear power generation shows the reverse of their images. The topic of nuclear waste disposal is also shrouded in reactor physics mysteries, leading to a mis-placed general fear of the unknown. In this article only nuclear reactors are considered.
