Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 199(14), p.1557 - 1564, 2023/09
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:2 Percentile:70.62(Chemistry, Applied)Crystallinity is reflected in the mechanical properties of foods and materials. Crystallinity should be related to the structural dynamics of starch. In this study, we used quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) to investigate changes in the molecular dynamics of cooked rice starch during retrogradation. The width of the measured QENS narrowed with retrogradation. The elastic incoherent structure factor (EISF) increased, which indicated that the molecular dynamics are spatially suppressed upon retrogradation. Analysis of EISF with a bimodal continuous diffusion model, where low and high mobilities are assumed to correspond to crystalline and amorphous phases, respectively, showed that the fraction of the low-mobility component increases with retrogradation.

Based on the regulations (the safety regulation of Tokai Reprocessing Plant, the safety regulation of nuclear fuel material usage facilities, the radiation safety rule, the regulation about prevention from radiation hazards due to radioisotopes, which are related with the nuclear regulatory acts, the local agreement concerning with safety and environment conservation around nuclear facilities, the water pollution control law, and by law of Ibaraki Prefecture), the effluent control of liquid waste discharged from the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories of Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been performed. This report describes the effluent control results of the liquid waste in the fiscal year 2017. In this period, the concentrations and the quantities of the radioactivity in liquid waste discharged from the reprocessing plant, the plutonium fuel fabrication facilities, and the other nuclear fuel material usage facilities were much lower than the limits authorized by the above regulations.

Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:61.31(Electrochemistry)Graft-type anion-conducting electrolyte membranes (AEMs) with imidazolium cations on graft polymers were synthesized through radiation-induced graft polymerization of -vinylimidazole (NVIm) on poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films, followed by -propylation and ion-exchange reactions. The -propylation proceeded quantitatively, whereas the ion-exchange reactions in 1 M KOH at 60C were accompanied by partial -elimination of the imidazolium cations(AEM2), which exhibited an ion-exchange capacity (IEC) of 0.85 mmol g and ionic conductivity of 10 mS cm. AEM2 showed alkaline stability at 60C but it gradually degraded at 80C for ca. 150 h. The copolymer-type AEM (AEM3) with an IEC of 1.20 mmol g was prepared through the copolymerization of NVIm with styrene on ETFE films, followed by the same -propylation and ion-exchange reactions. AEM3 was shown higher alkaline durability in 1 M KOH at 80C. As a result, it exhibited higher conductivity (10 mS cm) for 250 h. Therefore, alkylimidazolium cations in copolymer grafts are a promising anion conducting group for alkaline-durable AEMs. A maximum power density of 75 mW cm is obtained for AEM3 in a direct hydrazine hydrate fuel cell.

We investigated the effect of the length of the linear chain on the structure of quaternary ammonium ions on the membrane properties such as durability of ion conductivity. Graft polymerization was performed by immersing the pre-irradiated ETFE film in the CMS solution. The ETFE-g-CMS film was then quaternized in four different tertiary amines, that is, trimethylamine (n = 1), dimethylethylamine (n = 2), n-butyldimethylamine (n = 4) and n-hexyldimethylamine (n = 6) solutions. The n dependence of the OH conductivity and chemical durability, which was represented by a residual percentage of the conductivity after treatment with a Fenton solution. When n increased from 1 to 6, the OH conductivity decreased slightly, but it still stayed 20 mS/cm for n = 6. The chemical durability seemed to increase eight-fold at the same time. The chemical attack by hydroxyl radicals on the quaternary ammonium ions would be controlled by hydrophobicity and steric hindrance of the alkyl group.
