Performance of the borate glasses doped with some rare earth compounds during the neutron irradiation: Analysis for the mass removal cross section of fast neutrons and secondary gamma-ray emission
Three zinc borate glasses doped with a small concentration of various rare earth oxides (La2O3, Eu2O3, and Dy2O3) were fabricated using the melt quenching method. The fabrication of glass samples aims to investigate the impact of rare earth elements on the secondary gamma-ray emission following neutron flux irradiation. To achieve the desired goal, the prepared glass samples were placed in a capsule, which is suspended within a dry channel of the nuclear reactor IVV-2 M. The prepared samples were irradiated with fast neutron flux of 8.11E + 11 n/(cm2.s) and a thermal neutron flux of 8156E + 12 n/(cm2.s) for four hours. The absorbed doses by the prepared glass samples reach 7.41E + 04, 3.06E + 04, and 5.44E + 04 Gy for glasses doped with La2O3, Eu2O3, and Dy2O3, respectively. Immediately after the irradiation process ended, analysis for the secondary gamma-emission was performed using a HPGe detector from the CANBERRA gamma spectrometer equipped with Genie-2000 software. The analysis shows that the highest total activity reaches 14.45 MBq, which is released from glasses-doped La2O3, while the lowest activity reaches 6.26 MBq, released from glasses-doped Eu2O3. Additionally, the dose rate from the irradiated glass samples was estimated at various distances surrounding the irradiated samples. Also, the dose rate across various periods of time was estimated for the irradiated glass samples.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
