Determination of long-lived radionuclides in concrete matrix by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

A laser ablation system using a Nd:YAG laser was coupled both to a quadrupole inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometer and to a double-focusing sector field ICP mass spectrometer. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was applied for the determination of long-lived radionuclides in a concrete matrix. The investigated samples were two laboratory standards with a concrete matrix, which we doped with different long-lived radionuclides (e.g. ⁹⁹Tc, ²³²Th, ²³³U, ²³⁷Np) from the ng g⁻¹ to μ g⁻¹ concentration range and an undoped concrete material (blank). Detection limits for long-lived radionuclides in the 10 ng g⁻¹ range are reached for LA-ICP-MS using the quadrupole mass spectrometer. With double-focusing sector field ICP-MS, the limits of detection are in general one order of magnitude lower and reach the sub ng g⁻¹ range for ²³³U and ²³⁷Np. A comparison of mass spectrometric results with those of neutron activation analysis on undoped concrete sample indicates that a semiquantitative determination of the concentrations of the minor and trace elements in the concrete matrix is possible with LA-ICP-MS without using a standard reference material.     

Elemental characterization of Suaeda mollis L. (Amaranthaceae) from Algerian rangelands using gamma-ray spectrometry

Present study was performed to measure the chemical status of Suaeda mollis L. (Amaranthaceae) that is widely browsed by livestock (sheep and goats) in Algerian arid rangelands. Gamma-ray spectrometry technique was performed to characterize some major and trace elements, e.g., calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, cobalt, europium, antimony, and terbium in this fodder-shrub. Results revealed that S. mollis had good levels of calcium, potassium, and cobalt to meet needs of sheep and goats. However, this species had substantial level of sodium above the recommended concentration for livestock. The potential toxins (europium, antimony and terbium) were within the safety-limits suggested by the National Research Council guidelines. The data obtained in the present study can be useful in the ration formulation for grazing livestock.     

Environmental radioactivity of soils and sediments: Egyptian sector of the Nile valley

The activity concentrations of natural ⁴⁰K, ²³²Th, and ²³⁸U in 89 soil and 84 sediment samples collected over the entire Egyptian Nile River basin including the Nile delta are reported based on the results of epithermal neutron activation analysis. The average activity concentrations of ⁴⁰K, ²³²Th, and ²³⁸U equal to 15.3?±?6.6, 15.6?±?11.1 and 220?±?31 Bq/kg, respectively, are significantly lower than those reported for the Upper Continental Crust, World Average Sediments as well as World Average Soils, suggesting the presence of a considerable portion of mafic material, most probably originating from the Ethiopian High Plateau. Their average activity concentrations are statistically the same in soil and sediments, indicating that the Nile sediments and soil material are of the same origin. The main goal of this study was not only to estimate the radiological hazards but also to show the influence of sedimentary material transportable by the Blue Nile from the Ethiopian High Plateau. The different hazard indices like the radium equivalent, gamma index, external hazard as well as the internal hazard show a low radiological exposure either on direct contact or if local mud bricks are used in the construction of dwellings.     

Developing a robust LC–MS/MS method to quantify Zn‐DTPA,a zinc chelate in human plasma and urine

Quantitation of Zn‐DTPA (zinc diethylenetriamene pentaacetate, a metal chelate) in complex biological matrix is extremely challenging on account of its special physiochemical properties. This study aimed to develop a robust and specific liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for determination of Zn‐DTPA in human plasma and urine. The purified samples were separated on Proteonavi (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm; Shiseido, Ginza, Tokyo, Japan) and a C₁₈ guard column. The mobile phase consisted of methanol–2 mm ammonium formate (pH 6.3)–ammonia solution (50:50:0.015, v/v/v), flow rate 0.45 mL/min. The linear concentration ranges of the calibration curves for Zn‐DTPA were 1–100 μg/mL in plasma and 10–2000 μg/mL in urine. The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions for quality control (QC) samples were from 1.8 to 14.6% for Zn‐DTPA and the accuracies for QC samples were from −4.8 to 8.2%. This method was fully validated and successfully applied to the quantitation of Zn‐DTPA in plasma and urine samples of a healthy male volunteer after intravenous infusion administration of Zn‐DTPA. The result showed that the concentration of Zn‐DTPA in urine was about 20 times that in plasma, and Zn‐DTPA was completely (94.7%) excreted through urine in human.     

A Monte Carlo study for the shielding of γ backgrounds induced by radionuclides for CDEX

The CDEX (China Dark matter EXperiment) Collaboration will carry out a direct search for WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) using an Ultra-Low Energy Threshold High Purity Germanium (ULE-HPGe) detector at the CJPL (China JinPing deep underground Laboratory). A complex shielding system was designed to reduce backgrounds and a detailed GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation was performed to study the achievable reduction of γ rays induced by radionuclides and neutron backgrounds by D(γ,n)p reaction. Furthermore, the upper level of allowed radiopurity of shielding materials was estimated under the constraint of the expected goal. Compared with the radiopurity reported by other low-background rare-event experiments, it indicates that the shielding used in the CDEX can be made out of materials with obtainable radiopurity.

Fissile radionuclides in thyroid of the inhabitants of the gomel region in belarus and peculiarities of their distribution

Severe radiation damages with the following substitution of connective tissue are the effect of high doses in microvolumes of the thyroid. Calcium, strontium and uranium deposited into these sections was more as compared to a normal tissue of the thyroid. An estimation of the microdistribution of fissile radionuclides was carried out using the method of fragmental radiography. The analysis of tracks done visually using a microscope magnification of 300 revealed the local density of fission fragments up to 10³ mm⁻². The irradiation of the surrounded cells which contain the hidden genetic damages, initiated by radioiodine, does not exclude their possible promoter role in thyroid cancerogenesis.
