These processes lead to the distribution of the radioactive impurity on the particles. To find this distribution function, a system of differential equations describing the process was solved by introduction generation function.

Despite this, these residues retain considerable concentrations of important bioactive compounds that could be reincorporated into new formulations. Because of this, it is essential to identify applications to convert these wastes into high-value-added products. In this context, ionizing radiation has stood out as a promising technique among the current resources available for reusing waste and reducing microbial load, as it is a clean technology, does not generate additional waste, and does not raise the temperature during processing, the main limitation of conventional methods. With ionizing radiation, a new proposal for waste management emerges to reincorporate it into new products, reducing waste and reducing environmental impact. Thus, this review summarizes the most recent research on the application of nuclear energy as a viable solution and technological innovation for reusing agro-industrial waste, addressing its positive and negative effects on nutritional preservation and availability of bioactive compounds.

This work presents a comprehensive Monte Carlo investigation of a novel Tri-Layer Adaptive Composite System (TACS) developed for radiation shielding in SNF transport and dry-storage casks. The proposed architecture adopts a functionally graded design composed of three optimized layers: a Refractory High-Entropy Alloy (RHEA) inner layer providing structural integrity and initial gamma attenuation, a Hydrogenated Boron Nitride (HBN) composite layer serving as the primary neutron moderator and absorber, and an outer Tungsten–Metallic Glass Matrix Composite (W-MGMC) layer delivering further suppression of residual gamma and neutron radiation. Radiation transport simulations were performed using MCNP5, modeling a homogenized pressurized water reactor (PWR) mixed-oxide (MOX) spent fuel assembly with a heavy-metal loading of 0.492 tHM and a representative burnup of 50 GWd tHM<sup>−1</sup>. Conservative, bounding source terms were employed, assuming <sup>137</sup>Cs as the dominant gamma-emitting radionuclide and <sup>244</sup>Cm as the primary neutron source via spontaneous fission, for cooling times up to 50 years. The results show smooth and monotonic attenuation of both photon and neutron fields across the multilayer system, with no localized dose-rate hot spots. Energy-dependent total microscopic photon cross-section analyses confirm substantial interaction probabilities in the high-Z RHEA and W-MGMC layers across the relevant energy range, explaining the rapid suppression of gamma flux and dose observed within these regions. At the same time, HBN exhibits minimal photon interaction consistent with its low-Z composition. Half-value layer (HVL) analysis further quantifies the shielding efficiency, revealing that RHEA and W-MGMC exhibit the smallest gamma HVLs (≈0.8 cm). In contrast, HBN provides the lowest neutron HVL (≈1.5 cm), confirming its dominant role in fast-neutron removal. At the cask surface, the TACS configuration achieves a total dose rate of approximately 0.10 mSv h<sup>−1</sup>, corresponding to a safety margin of about 20 × below the IAEA SSR-6 transport limit. Comparative benchmarking against conventional Fe–PE–Pb and steel–air–concrete shielding configurations demonstrates the superior shielding efficiency and compactness of the proposed system, particularly for neutron-dominated, high-burnup MOX fuel inventories.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"243 ","pages":"Article 113663"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146047884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of single-crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra was performed after irradiation with fast neutron radiation. It was determined that paramagnetic centres with highly anisotropic g-factor values are formed and remain stable well above room temperature. The irregular defect symmetry suggests that one of the defects is formed along the direction of cubic lattice diagonal. This defect was attributed to Ge centres resulting from Ga neutron capture coupled with multiple oxygen vacancies. The origin of other paramagnetic centres is discussed based on unusual temperature dependencies of EPR spectra and ab initio calculations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"243 ","pages":"Article 113664"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146071588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
