It can cause severe degradation of reactor structural materials such as surface blistering, bulk void swelling, deformation, fatigue, embrittlement, stress erosion corrosion and so on that will significantly affect the operation safety of reactors. However, up to now, behavior of structural materials at the end of their service can hardly be fully tested in a real reactor. In the present paper, damage process in reactor structural materials is briefly introduced, then the advantages of energetic ion implantation/irradiation especially high-energy heavy ion irradiation are discussed, and several typical examples on simulation of radiation effects in reactor candidate structural materials using high-energy heavy ion irradiations are introduced. Experimental results and theoretical analysis suggested that irradiation with energetic particles especially high-energy heavy ions is a very useful technique for simulating the evolution of microstructures and macro-properties of reactor structural materials.

碳离子辐照对人肺癌细胞A549细胞周期进程的影响

选取对数生长期人肺癌细胞A549接受0—6.0 Gy 碳离子照射， 用克隆形成法检测细胞的存活率； 并于照射后12和24 h收集细胞， 用流式细胞术检测细胞周期各时相的细胞百分比， 观察不同剂量碳离子辐照对A549细胞周期进程的影响。 结果显示: 0—6.0 Gy 碳离子照射后细胞存活率显著下降； 照射后12 h细胞发生G0/G1期阻滞， 而照射后24 h， 1.0 Gy 照射组细胞在G0/G1期阻滞， 2.0—6.0 Gy 照射组细胞在G2/M期阻滞。 上述结果表明， 在A549细胞接受碳离子照射后的12 和24 h内， 1.0 Gy 照射可持续激活细胞G1期检查点， 而2.0—6.0 Gy 碳离子照射后其细胞周期进程是随时间变化的。 To investigate the effects of cell cycle progression of A549 cell induced by 12C6+ ion irradiation at different doses, the survival fractions of the A549 cells were determined by colony forming assay; cell cycles were analyzed by FACS at 12 h or 24 h after irradiation. The results showed that the percentage of survival in the A549 cells decreased with irradiation doses. Compared with control group， the percentage of the cells in G0/G1 phase significantly increased at 12 h after irradiation with different doses of 12C6+ ions.

The results suggested that G1 cell cycle checkpoint was activated in 12—24 h after irradiation with 1.0 Gy 12C6+ ions， but after irradiation with 2.0—6.0 Gy 12C6+ ions， the cell cycle progression of the A549 cells changed with time.     

Study of Humidity and UV Wavelength Effects on Degradation of Photo-Irradiated Polyethylene Films Using DMA

Plastic bags, mostly made of polyethylene, cause pollution as solid waste due to their nondegradable nature. Accelerated degradation, as a solution to mitigate the menace, can be achieved through moisture enhanced photolysis. This study evaluated the effect of three relative humidity environments, i.e., 25%, 40%, and 60% RH, at a constant temperature of 55°C. The effect was studied for ultraviolet (UV) irradiated and nonirradiated samples of polyethylene (PE) films processed under conventional ways. Photodegradation was initiated using ultraviolet irradiation in the ranges (200–300) nm and (300–400) nm for two hours and the effects of subsequent humidity treatment analyzed. Dynamic mechanical analysis was used to measure the dynamic storage modulus to monitor degradation. For nonirradiated samples, there was essentially no change in storage modulus at the three relative humidity environments after 550 hrs. Irradiation in the (300–400) nm range showed faster degradation than for the (200–300)nm range with the highest drop in storage modulus being 67% after 550 hrs. Raising the humidity from 25% to 40% and 60% RH resulted in 41%, 62%, and 67% drop of storage modulus, respectively, at the 550 hrs.     

Design of the IMP microbeam irradiation system for 100 MeV/u heavy ions

A state-of-the-art high energy heavy ion microbeam irradiation system is constructed at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This microbeam system operates in both full current intensity mode and single ion mode. It delivers a predefined number of ions to pre-selected targets for research in biology and material science. The characteristic of this microbeam system is high energy and vertical irradiation. A quadrupole focusing system, in combination with a series of slits, has been designed to optimize the spatial resolution. A symmetrically achromatic system leads the beam downwards and serves simulta-neously as an energy analyzer. A high gradient quadrupole triplet finally focuses a C6+ ion beam to 1 μm in the vacuum chamber within the energy range from 10 MeV/u to 100 MeV/u. In this paper, the IMP microbeam system is described in detail. A systematic investigation of the ion beam optics of this microbeam system is presented together with the associated aberrations. Comparison is made between the IMP microbeam system and the other existing systems to further discuss the performance of this microbeam. Then the optimized initial beam parameters are given for high resolution and high hitting efficiency. At last, the experiment platform is briefly introduced.
