Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rates of atom displacement and helium injection in materials exposed to $sup 252$Cf fission fragments and alpha particles were calculated to establish the potential for use of $sup 252$Cf sources for radiation damage studies. Maximum displacement rates of about 10$sup -6$ dpa/sec at the surface of typical targets exposed to a $sup 252$Cf fission fragment source were comparable to those experienced by materials in a fast breeder reactor or in a controlled thermonuclear reactor (CTR) first wall, though much lower than the displacement rates achieved using particle accelerators. Helium was concurrently accumulated at a rate of 3 x 10$sup -4$ atom ppM/sec at the target surface, yielding a He/ displacement ratio 10$sup 3$ times that produced in the fast breeder reactor materials, but only about 20 times that produced in the CTR materials. These comparisons suggest that $sup 252$Cf fission fragment sources may find useful applications in studies of effects of high-He content on radiation damage in CTR materials. (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work the photographic emulsion technique has been applied to the study of the long range particles given off during neutron irradiation of uranium. Alvarez first observed these particles with an ion chamber and linear amplifier. Segre, et al (LA-87) studied these particles with an ion chamber which gave coincidences between these particles and fission. They found them to be coincident with fission within the time constant of their circuit (approx 5u sec). They were also able to identify these particles as alpha particles from the density of ionization near the end of the tracks. Hughes has observed a number of these alpha particles in the cloud chamber, but his setup did not permit him to observe the associated fission track. The cloud chamber or photographic emulsion technique permits information to be obtained about the alpha particles and their association with the fission process that cannot be got by the ion chamber method. The photographic emulsion technique has been used in this case because it lends itself very well to a study of rare events of this type.

Download or read book Nuclear Batteries and Radioisotopes written by Mark Prelas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the physics of nuclear battery operation. It provides a comprehensive background that allows readers to understand all past and future developments in the field. The supply and cost of radioisotopes for use in applications (focused on nuclear batteries) are covered in the initial sections of the text. The interaction of ionizing radiation with matter is discussed as applied to nuclear batteries. The physics of interfacing the radioisotopes to the transducers which represent the energy conversion mechanism for nuclear batteries are described for possible nuclear battery configurations. Last but not least the efficiencies of nuclear battery configurations are discussed combined with a review of the literature on nuclear battery research.
