被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:61.19(Physics, Nuclear)The selenium isotopes lie at the heart of a tumultuous region of the nuclear chart where shape coexistence effects grapple with neutron-proton pairing correlations, triaxiality, and the impending proton dripline. In this work a study of Se by internal conversion electron and -ray spectroscopy was undertaken with the SPICE and TIGRESS arrays. New measurements of the branching ratio and lifetime of the state were performed yielding a determination of milliunits. Two state mixing calculations were performed that highlighted the importance of interpretation of such strength values in the context of shape-coexistence.

The TMI accident in 1979 motivated an interest in LWR source terms and resulted in the production of a supplement to the first state of the art report (SOAR) which concentrated on LWR aerosol issues. The second SOAR dealt with primary system FP release and transport that covers vapor the condensation on aerosols and aerosol agglomeration. The present third SOAR was prepared focusing on aerosol behavior in both the primary circuit and in containment such as mechanical resuspension, impact of chemistry, re-vaporization of deposits, charge effect, removal by spray, hydrogen-burn effects on suspended aerosols, penetration of aerosols through leak paths and so on. A large number of probabilistic safety analysis (PSA level 2) plant studies have been performed around the world, frequently involving aspects of aerosol behavior. This report provides some examples, including sensitivity studies that demonstrate the impact of aerosol-related processes.

The main goal of International Standard Problem (ISP) is to increase confidence in the validity and accuracy of the tools, which were used in assessing the safety of nuclear installations. Moreover, the exercises enable code users to gain experience and demonstrate their competence. The ISP No. 41 exercise, computer code exercise based on a Radioiodine Test Facility (RTF) experiment on iodine behavior in containment under severe accident conditions, is one of such ISP exercises. The codes used by the participants were LIRIC (AECL), MELCOR-I (SNL), IMPAIR (PSI, Siemens, GRS, and JAERI) and IODE (CIEMAT, IPSN and NRIR). This report presents a detailed description of the RTF tests used for the exercise, a brief description of the models/codes used and the modelling process and the description and interpretation of the results.

The ISP No.41 exercise resulted from a recommendation at the fourth iodine chemistry workshop held at PSI, Switzerland in 1996 for an International Standard Problem on iodine behavior models. The test selected for the comparison was a Radio Test Facility experiment. It was conducted in a stainless steel vessel at 25C and at a dose rate of 1.4 kGy/h to evaluate the effect of pH on irradiated aqueous solutions containing CsI. This paper discusses the results of ISP 41 exercise, with a primary focus on the evaluation and comparison of calculated results, and what they demonstrate about the aqueous iodine reaction subset within each model. The paper will also discuss the relative importance of mass transfer, surface adsorption and aqueous chemistry, and the sensitivity of each of the models to these phenomena. Finally, it will assess the applicability of the ISP 41 exercise to qualitative validation of the iodine models, and provide recommendations for continuing model evaluation.

The phenomenon of shape coexistence is prevalent in the Z34 region, with isotopes of neutron-deficient even Ge, Se and Kr each exhibiting the characteristic low-lying coexisting 0+ bands which display quadrupole deformation different to that of the ground states. In the selenium isotopes, Se seem to show a prolate ground structure with shape coexisting oblate excitation, while in Se the oblate structure appears to have become the ground state. The exact nature of the low-lying structure Se and any shape coexistence remains uncertain. Combining the Spectrometer for Internal Conversion Electrons (SPICE) with the TIGRESS HPGe Array, a full electron and gamma-ray experimental study of Se, Se was undertaken at the TRIUMF ISAC-II facility to unveil the low-lying structure of these nuclei. Details of the device and experiment will be presented, alongside the experimental results and possible structural interpretations for both isotopes.
