Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The elemental composition of the material of beryllium blocks of SM reactor reflector in the initial state was determined by inductively coupled plasma atom emission spectrometry (ICP AES). The α-, β-, and Γ-active components of the radiation from Be irradiated to a neutron fluence of 6 × 1022 cm−2 (E > 0.1 MeV) were determined. Radiochemical analysis revealed the presence in the irradiated Be of 60Co, 54Mn, 137Cs, 134Cs, and 90Sr. The following α-emitters were revealed: 238–241Pu, 241Am,243Am, and 244Cm.
