It is projected that by 2030 there will be other nuclear reactors in addition to 437 reactors already operating commercially today in the world. A quarter to the third of the spent fuel rods from these reactors must be removed from a reactor every 12 to 24 months and stored between one and two years in the spent fuel pools. This delay allows the decrease of their radioactivity and thus their...

The Radionuclide Technique in Mechanical Engineering RTM is a powerful and sensitive method to measure online the wear rates at running engines or tribometers in the range of nm/h.
The three parts of this technique will be explained. 1. The process of radioactive labelling at a cyclotron, 2. The two possible measurement procedures and 3. The measurement equipment. The installations for...

Currently, there is a tendency in the industry by refusing isotopic radiation sources in favor of the X-ray machines. This is due to several factors, chief among them radiation safety and maintenance problems, movement and disposal of gamma-ray sources.
Compared to the gamma ray source devices have a number of disadvantages. The spectral energy distribution and therefore change in the...

Since the early 80s, when a cyclotron was installed in our laboratory, besides the fundamental research also application areas have been established. In the first years of operation a relatively big amount of radioactive isotopes was produced for medical purposes. Parallel with the medical isotope production, a number of other isotopes has been developed for industrial and agricultural...

The IEA-R1 is an open pool type research reactor located at the
Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN-CNEN/SP) site and achieved
its first criticality on September 16, 1957. IEA-R1 is the largest
research reactor in operation in Brazil, with a core composed of
$24$ fuel elements with $20\%$ enriched uranium silicide, $4$ control
rods (Ag$+$In$+$Cd) and many irradiation positions...
