Title: Effect of gamma and neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of Spectralon™ porous PTFE

Abstract

Here, we establish a correspondence between the mechanical properties (maximum load and failure elongation) of Spectralon™ porous PTFE irradiated with 14 MeV neutrons and 1.17 and 1.33 MeV gammas from a cobalt-60 source. From this correspondence we infer that the effects of neutrons and gammas on this material are approximately equivalent for a given absorbed dose.

Relaxation of compressive stress in gamma-irradiated Viton™ fluoroelastomer

Journal Article Gourdin, William H. ; Jensen, Wayne - Fusion Engineering and Design

We report our study of stress relaxation of Viton™ A hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride co-polymer fluoroelastomer compressed 25% and irradiated at room temperature in air to nominal absorbed doses of 10 – 10⁶ Gy with 1.17 and 1.33 MeV gammas from a cobalt-60 source. Our data show that the true stresses at room temperature in ring samples of Viton™ A fluoroelastomer compressed 25% decline slightly from 1014±93 kPa at zero dose to 996±115 kPa at a dose of 10³ Gy, decrease to 967±98 kPa at 10⁴ Gy and then drop sharply to 640±116 kPa at 10⁵ Gy and 157±32 kPa at 10⁶more »« less

DETERMINATION OF IMPURITIES BY NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS. I. DETERMINATION OF COBALT IN NICKEL BY ACTIVATION ANALYSIS (in Japanese)

Journal Article Kamemoto, Y ; Yamagishi, S - Nippon Genshiryoku Gakkaishi (Japan)

Neutron activation analysis is investigated by means of determiring trace quantities of cobalt in nickel metal and nickel salts without chemical separation. The sample is irradiated simultaneously with a standard in a reactor at a neutron flux of about 10/sup 11/n/cm/sup 2//sec for 2 hr or 3 days (5 hr each day) and then cooled for several days to decay out the induced activity of nickel. After cooling, the irradiated sample is mounted in a 3 x 3 inch sodium iodide crystal attached to a 258-channel pulse height analyzer. Cobalt is determined by gamma spectrometry, comparing the heights of photopeaksmore »« less
Measurement of {gamma}-ray dose in a thermal neutron field by using a {sup 3}He-filtered GM counter

Journal Article Kudo, K ; Takeda, N ; Fukuda, A - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

A new type of {sup 3}He-filtered GM counter has been used to measure the dose of {gamma}-rays existing in a thermal neutron field. The detector assembly consists of a commercially available GM counter surrounded by a cylindrical aluminum vessel filled with {sup 3}He gas at a pressure up to 6 atmospheres. The contribution of secondary {gamma}-rays produced by thermal neutron capture in the GM counter itself can be excluded by increasing the {sup 3}He pressure, because the thermal neutron capture reaction of {sup 3}He(n,p)T results in the emission of charged particles of a proton and a triton.

GAMMA SPECTRA OF INELASTIC SCATTERING OF NEUTRONS (in Russian)

Journal Article Barchuk, I F ; Pasechnik, M V ; Tsybulko, Yu A - Ukrain. Fiz. Zhur.

A scintillation spectrometer with a NaI(Tl) crystal (60 mm in diameter and 50 mm in height) and a photomultiplier was used in measuring the gamma spectra from inelastic neutron scattering in Al, Cu, Fe, Mg, Sb, and Sn at 2.8 Mev. A rough evaluation was made of gamma intensities for each element. The neutrons were produced from the D(d,n)He/sup 3/ reaction in a low-voltage, horizontal type accelerator (140 to 150 kv) with a high-frequency ion source. An adsorption target was employed in order to reduce the gamma -ray background. The pulse-height distribution was measured with a 50-channel amplitude analyzer. Themore »« less
THE RELATIVE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF 200-Kvp X-RAYS, COBALT-60 GAMMA- RAYS, AND 22-Mevp X-RAYS, DETERMINED FROM THE DOSE-SURVIVAL CURVE OF SACCHAROMYES CEREVISIAE

Journal Article Sinclair, W K ; Gunter, S E ; Cole, A - Radiation Research

The relative biological effectiveness of cobalt-60 gamma rays (1.17, 1.33 Mev) and 22-Mevp x rays from a betatron with reference of 200-kvp x rays (primary HVL 1.4 mm Cu) has been determined by using the slope of the survival curve of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (based on macrocolony counts) as the biological end point. The average RBE of five experiments was found to be 0.85 for cobalt-60 gamma radiation and O.85 for 22-Mevp x radiation, with uncertainties of the order of the J-57 engin 0.05 in each case. No significant difference between cobalt-60 gamma radiation and 22-Mevp x radiation wasmore » demonstrated. (auth)« less
