The -decay branching ratio of 0.52(5)% from the ground state of Pt to the ground state of the daughter nucleus Os has been determined more precisely than before. The Pt was produced as the -decay granddaughter of Hg which was produced and separated with the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The reduced -decay width calculated with the present result has provided a new picture of the systematics for the -decay width of neutron-deficient Pt isotopes.

International collaboration in assessment of radiological impacts arising from releases to the biosphere after disposal of radioactive waste into geological repositories

Smith, G.*; Kato, Tomoko

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 42(1), p.1 - 8, 2010/02

Geological disposal is designed to provide safe containment of radioactive waste for very long times, with the containment provided by a combination of engineered and geological barriers. In the extreme long term, after many thousands of years or longer, residual amounts of long-lived radionulides such as Cl-36, but also radionuclides in the natural decay chains, may be released into the environment normally accessed and used by humans, termed here, the biosphere. It is necessary to ensure that any such releases meet radiation protection objectives through the development of a safety case, which will include assessment of radiation doses to humans. The design of such dose calculations over such long timeframes is not straightforward, because of the range of potentially relevant assumptions which could be made, concerning environmental change and changes in human behavior. The issue has therefore been subject to international cooperation for many years. This paper summarizes the evolution and results of that collaboration leading up to the present day, taking account of developments in international recommendations on radiation protection objectives and the more recent greater focus on preparation of site specific safety cases.

Nuclear masses; Sharing, visualization, and analysis at nuclearmasses.org

Nuclear masses form an essential ingredient in simulations of a variety of astrophysical environments and events -such as r-process nucleosynthesis in supernovae. While laboratory advances have led to a tremendous increase in the number and precision of new mass measurements, the dissemination of this information has many inadequacies. To address this impediment to progress, we have built an online, dedicated suite of codes that enables researchers to quickly and efficiently share, manage, visualize, access, manipulate, compare, and analyze nuclear mass datasets. Our system, available at nuclearmasses.org, is a platform-independent client-server application that accommodates the latest mass measurements, theoretical mass models, and large tables of evaluated nuclear masses. With our system, researchers can upload their own mass datasets, store them, share them with colleagues, quickly and easily visualize them in customizable 1D and 2D plots, and calculate and plot RMS differences.
