Proposal for a search for magnetic monopoles at NAL (open access)

Proposal for a search for magnetic monopoles at NAL

The discovery of a magnetic monopole would be an important experimental result. It would give a reason for the phenomenon of exact electric charge quantization that is not explained yet any other way. Schwinger's dyon theory makes monopoles even more important because they would also be the quarks, i.e., the building blocks of the hadrons. Schwinger's scheme requires the electric charge of the monopoles to be a multiple of 1/3 of the electron charge while all magnetically neutral particles must have electric charges equal to an integer times the electron charge. Monopoles would be also responsible for CP violations.

RADIOECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER Part I (open access)

RADIOECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER Part I

The use of Columbia River water as a reactor coolant and the subsequent discharge of this cooling water into the River introduces a number of radioactive elements into the river environment. These radionuclides are produced by the neutron activation of stable elements in solution in the cooling water and the sloughing off of radioactive corrosion products from the surfaces of the reactor cooling tubes. The relationships of these radioactive materials to river organisms have been studied since reactor operations began in 1944 (1-10). Radioanalyses in the earlier studies (3, 4), dealing mainly with seasonal variations, species differences, and geographical distribution of radioisotopes by the river biota, were confined to the measurement of total beta emitter activity and to the estimation of relative amounts of phosphorus-32 through decay curve analysis. The purpose of this study is (1) to define the interspecies and seasonal variations in the concentration of several of the more biologically important radionuclides, and (2) to update the findings of some of the earlier investigations.

Thulium-170 oxide heat source experimental and analytical radiation and shielding study (open access)

Thulium-170 oxide heat source experimental and analytical radiation and shielding study

Radiation dose rates from three thulium-170 oxide sources (20.7, 10.0 and 5.0 thermal watts) were measured through three thicknesses (1/4, 1/2 and 1 inch) of absorber by thermoluminescent dosimetry techniques. Absorber materials used were aluminium, stainless steel, lead, tungsten and depleted uranium. Resultant radiation doses were measured at 19 and 100 cm. Comparison of theoretical dose rates calculated by computer with measured dose rates validated the calculation technique for lead, tungsten and uranium absorbers but not for aluminum and stainless steel. Use of infinite medium build-up factors (B/sub infinity/) was thus validated in computation of dose rates for lead, tungsten and uranium absorbers; use of B/sub infinity/ in computation of dose rates for aluminum and stainless steel absorbers overestimated dose rates vis-a-vis experimentally determined dose rates by an approximate factor of 2.
