Continental-scale enrichment of atmospheric ¹⁴CO₂ from the nuclear power industry: potential impact on the estimation of fossil fuel-derived CO₂ [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
The 14C-free fossil carbon added to atmospheric CO2 by combustion dilutes the atmospheric 14C/C ratio (Δ14C), potentially providing a means to verify fossil CO2 emissions calculated using economic inventories.

Bright Monocompound Metal Halide Scintillator for Fast Neutron Radiography

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal halide scintillator, tetraphenylphosphonium manganese bromide (TPP2MnBr4), provides a significant benefit for fast neutron imaging. A fourfold increase in efficiency over traditional zinc sulfide screens is achieved by efficiently utilizing neutron interactions within its homogeneous structure.
