This research aims to assess the accuracy of Al2O3 optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters in measuring doses within varying thicknesses of air cavities (3, 5, and 8 cm) and tissue inhomogeneity of low and high density simulated by the lung and bone phantoms. An expanded polystyrene (EPS) was employed in homogeneous solid water® phantoms to simulate the air cavity. The percentage depth-dose (PDD) curves at 6 MV photons were obtained in both presence of air cavity and density inhomogeneity and compared to that in the EBT3 radiochromic film dosimeters and treatment planning system (TPS). The results indicated that the presence of an air cavity and tissue inhomogeneity affected the depth dose measured in OSL dosimeters, EBT3 films and TPS. OSLD and TPS showed good agreement at the centre of the cavity, which is within ±5% but could not estimate scattered radiation to the distal and proximal surfaces of the air cavity. The obtained p-values showed no significant differences of dose measured in OSL dosimeters compared to those in EBT3 films and TPS. The Kruskal Wallis test and Mann-Whitney showed no significant difference between OSL dosimeters, EBT3 film and TPS in the measurement of depth doses in the presence of density inhomogeneity. The overall results indicated the suitability of OSL dosimeters as indirect dosimeters for the measurements of depth dose in the presence of air cavity and tissue density inhomogeneity","PeriodicalId":509593,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141039261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unregulated radioactive wastewater release can affect the ecosystem and potentially harm aquatic life. Therefore, there is a need to establish the analysis of Th and U using standard method to obtain better sensitivity and good confidence in the final report. In this study, the determination of uranium and thorium was employed using the American Public Health Association (APHA) method 3125 standard method. The method performance and method detection level (MDL) samples for APHA 3125 were prepared in the deionized water and digested using hot block (APHA 3030E) and microwave digester (APHA 3030K). The quantification of 238U, 235U and 232Th in the method performance and MDL samples was performed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). From the results, the method performance samples for both digestion methods were in accordance with the APHA requirement. The MDL obtained from APHA 3030E for 232Th, 238U, and 235U were 5, 7, and 8 μg L−1 respectively. Meanwhile, the MDL obtained from the microwave digester for 232Th, 238U, and 235U, and were 2, 3, and 3 μg L−1 respectively. The APHA 3030K digestion technique gives lower and better detection limit compared to the APHA 3030E technique. Based on APHA 3030K MDL, 232Th was detected in the radioactive wastewater sample while 238U and 235U were less than MDL. Meanwhile, for APHA 3030E, all elements were below MDL. This study will enhance the detection of uranium and thorium in the radioactive wastewater sample towards better environmental monitoring programs at the national and global levels.","PeriodicalId":509593,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141033106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results revealed specific features, such as stamped or engraved information, that served as valuable signatures for nuclear forensic investigation. Corrosion observations provide valuable insights into the condition of the source and historical context. Gamma-ray spectra analysis revealed clear distinctions, including a scattering peak in cylindrical 60Co and 137Cs disk sources (200-500 keV), which was absent in the cup-style 241Am source. Unusual peaks in the gamma spectra of 60Co, 137Cs, and 241Am sources suggested potential impurities or background radiation. This was indicated by non-Gaussian shapes and significant counts per second at specific energy levels. X-ray radiography effectively highlights nuclear material characteristics, emphasizing density, uniformity, and internal structure. This analysis contributed to the development of a National Nuclear Forensic Library (NNFL) and enhanced Malaysia’s capability in nuclear forensic investigations related to radioactive sources found outside regulatory control.","PeriodicalId":509593,"journal":{"name":"IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141031905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In total, 105 sources of academic information were analyzed, selecting 56 articles and 18 book chapters for the development of the work. In conclusion, it can be affirmed that low-scale biogas plants present more favorable characteristics than micro-scale plants; however, both technologies have a high potential for application worldwide in isolated or rural areas, supplying electric or thermal energy to less favored communities.
