Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The internal exposure of workers who inhale plutonium dioxide particles in nuclear facilities is a crucial matter for human protection from radiation. To determine the activity median aerodynamic diameter values at the working sites of nuclear facilities in real time, we developed a high-resolution alpha imager using a ZnS(Ag) scintillator sheet, an optical microscope, and an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device camera. Then, we designed and applied a setup to measure a plutonium dioxide particle and identify the locations of the individual alpha particles in real time. Employing a Gaussian fitting, we evaluated the average spatial resolution of the multiple alpha particles was evaluated to be 16.2 umFWHM with a zoom range of 5 x. Also, the spatial resolution for the plutonium dioxide particle was 302.7 umFWHM due to the distance between the plutonium dioxide particle and the ZnS(Ag) scintillator. The influence of beta particles was negligible, and alpha particles were discernible in the alpha-beta particle contamination. The equivalent volume diameter of the plutonium dioxide particle was calculated from the measured count rate. These results indicate that the developed alpha imager is effective in the plutonium dioxide particle measurements at the working sites of nuclear facilities for internal exposure dose evaluation.

) experiment was performed to study the structure of the Borromean nucleus
B, which had long been considered to have a neutron halo. By analyzing the momentum distributions and exclusive cross sections, we obtained the spectroscopic factors for
and
orbitals, and a surprisingly small percentage of 9(2)% was determined for

component and the halo features reported in prior experiments can be explained by the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum, revealing a definite but not dominant neutron halo in
B. The present work gives the smallest
- or
-orbital component among known nuclei exhibiting halo features and implies that the dominant occupation of
or
orbitals is not a prerequisite for the occurrence of a neutron halo.

As the result, it was confirmed that crack, swelling, and exfoliations in inner of piping lining, and decay and dryness of wood in the upper part of the cooling tower. From the result of this inspection some facilities and machinery were repaired or replaced from the view point of preventive maintenance.

The nanowires, which formed by crosslinking reaction along the single ion path, can isolated by development procedures. This technique is sometimes called as single particle nanofabrication technique (SPNT). In this paper, tow step irradiation of ion beam and ray was carried out in order to control their radial sizes. The radial sizes of nanowires, based on PS and PCS were increased with the dose of ray. The change of radial sizes, which depended on the dose, was quantitatively measured, and we discussed in terms of radiation induced gel formation.

Radiation-induced luminescence (RIL) produced by 10 keV O+, N+ and Ar ion irradiation at room temperature has been used to study energy transfer in titanium dioxide (TiO) targets. Visible bands at 2.0 and 2.6 eV are due to crystalline defect. A UV band at 3.9 eV is originated from radiation transitions between Ti
3d and O
2s states in the TiO
crystal. These bands were analysed by fittings of Lorentz curves. The ratios of the band intensity were affected by the differences of the projectiles. The UV bands were hardly affected by differences of targets. It suggests that the excitations were not mainly produced by transitions from the grand state to excited states but by cascade radiations from higher excited states. The difference in anatase and rutile target was hardly observed in the observed spectra. From these results, it is possible to know a part of relaxation process from higher excited states in TiO
