Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Environmental Sciences)Interlaboratory comparison studies are important for radiation dosimetry in order to demonstrate how the technique is universally available. The set of standard samples are examined in each participating laboratory in the present study. After a set of standard samples together with the samples with unknown doses, which were prepared in the same laboratory as the standard samples, are measured at a participating laboratory, those samples are sent to another participating laboratory for next measurement. There is some small difference observed in the sensitivity (the slope of the dose response line) of the standard samples while the differences in the obtained doses for the samples with unknown doses are rather systematic, implying that the difference is mostly due to the samples but not to measurements.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:31.52(Chemistry, Analytical)Estimating the risks associated with radiation from long-lived fission products (LLFP) in radioactive waste is essential to ensure the long-term safety of potential disposal sites. In this study, the amount of Zr, a LLFP, was determined by ICP-MS after separating Zr from a spent nuclear fuel solution using a microvolume anion-exchange cartridge (TEDA cartridge). The TEDA cartridge achieved highly selective separation of Zr regardless of its small bed volume of 0.08 cm. The time taken to complete the Zr separation was 1.2 min with a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min, which was 10 times faster than that for a conventional anion-exchange resin column. Almost all the other elements were removed, leading to accurate measurement of Zr. The result connects experimental value to theoretical prediction provided by ORIGEN2, which requires verification. With the measured value, we demonstrated that the theoretical value is reliable enough to estimate radiation risks.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:29.59(Chemistry, Analytical)Neptunium-237 (Np) is one of the major long-lived radionuclides found in spent nuclear fuel. To evaluate the long-term safety of a HLW repository, the Np content in spent nuclear fuel must be determined. In this study, micro-volume anion-exchange porous polymer disk-packed cartridges were prepared for Am-Np separation, which is required prior to the measurement of Np with ICP-MS. Disks with a volume of 0.08 cm were cut out from porous sheets having triethylenediamine (TEDA)-containing polymer chains densely attached on the pore surface. The resulting TEDA-introduced disk cartridge was applied to a spent nuclear fuel sample. The chemical yield of Np was 90.4%, which is sufficiently high for ICP-MS measurement of Np. Compared with the conventional separation technique using commercially available anion-exchange resin columns, the time required to adsorb, wash and elute Np using the TEDA-introduced disk cartridge was reduced by 75%.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:12.19(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)A crosslinked chelating porous sheet was prepared by cografting ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) with glycidyl methacrylate onto an electron-beam-irradiated porous polyethylene sheet, followed by the introduction of an iminodiacetate group. At a molar percentage of EGDMA of 1.0 mol%, the sheet exhibited a maximum dynamic binding capacity for copper ions of 0.93 mmol/g, while the equilibrium binding capacity remained the same (1.2 mmol/g) as that of a non-crosslinked chelating porous sheet. The crosslinking of the grafted chain causes copper ions to lower their diffusion rate along the sheet thickness driven by the gradient of the amount of copper ions adsorbed.

A basic extractant Aliquat 336 dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and NaOH aqueous solution was impregnated to carboxydecanyl-thiol (CDT) group containing polymer chains grafted onto a porous sheet. The CDT group was introduced into the graft chain by a reaction of the epoxy group of poly-glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) chain grafted onto the porous sheet with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid. The electrostatic interaction between the carboxyl moiety of the CDT group and the quaternary ammonium group of Aliquat 336 gave rise to a high-density impregnation of Aliquat 336. Palladium chloride (50 mg-Pd/L) in 1 M HCl was forced to permeate through the pores of the Aliquat 336-impregnated porous sheet. The binding efficiency, defined as the ratio of number of moles of palladium adsorbed to half the number of moles of impregnated Aliquat 336, was found to be 64%.

Zr is a long-lived fission product which can be found in spent nuclear fuel and HLW. The estimation of theZr content is indispensable to achieve a safety disposal of HLW because Zr is predicted to be one of the major contributors to radiation dose. However, only a few measured Zr values have been reported, leading to a high demand for development of an efficient analytical method. Our group has been prepared a new porous filter cartridge which has densely bound ion-exchanger onto the pore surface of the filter, enabling a high-capacity and rapid adsorption. In order to apply this filter cartridge to a pretreatment for the Zr measurement with ICP-MS, an elution profiles of Zr and the other coexisting elements were examined. According to the resultant separation conditions, Zr in a spent nuclear fuel sample was successfully separated. The measured Zr content is 98.2 5.1 ng, which agrees with the theoretical value.

To estimate the external exposure dose using electron spin resonance technique, we use a "standard sample" which were prepared at each laboratory with each preparation protocol. It is necessary to unite the preparation protocol for the "real" standard sample. In the point of view of the enamel extraction method, no difference was observed for five dose responses between the absorbed dose and the CO radical intensity.
