Darcy van Eerten - Spatially Resolved Multi-Element Analysis of Hot Particles in the SIRIUS RIMS instrument
We have developed the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) [1] at RIKEN to study the nuclear structure of the nuclei in the vicinity of neutron magic number $N$ = 126 and 152 from the astrophysical interest. These neutron-rich nuclei have been produced by using multinucleon transfer reactions [2] with the combinations of the low-energy $^{136}$Xe/$^{238}$U beams and the production targets of...
So-called ‘hot particles’ are micrometre-scale fragments deriving from nuclear fuel. In the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, these particles have contaminated the environment since the accident. They are composed of partially spent fuel fragments of mostly low-enriched U, and (ultra)-trace levels of other actinides and fission products.
Nuclear materials that contaminate the environment present an...
