Changes in the surface radioactivity of lead—the effect of the diffusion of bismuth and polonium radioisotopes

International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part A. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1989
Abstract Measurements and the quantitative analysis of the kinetics of the phenomenon of increasing radioactivity of lead after the scraping of the surface are presented. The growth of radioactivity concerns the α activity of polonium and to a lower degree also the β activity of bismuth. When the surface is scraped, the layer of the material near the

Mechanisms Leading to Losses in Conventional Betavoltaics and Evolution: Utilizing Composite Semiconductor With Infused Radioisotope for Efficiency Improvement

Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2014
In this paper, we demonstrate remarkably improved efficiency over various conventional betavoltaics with critical energy loss problems. Radioactive sulfur (35S) was uniformly infused within a semiconductor material (selenium) and volumetrically encapsulated in the harvesting betavoltaic cells.

The determination of lead in environmental air using a radioisotope X-ray-fluorescence unit

The International Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1982
The feasibility for the development of a portable radioisotope excited X-ray fluorescence unit, able to detect Pb in air samples, was studied. The unit employs a 0.6-mCi 109Cd source and a Xe-filled proportional detector. The sensitivity of the method was found to be 15 micrograms of lead per cubic metre of air.

An evaluation of the shielding effectiveness of lead aprons used in clinics for protection against ionising radiation from novel radioisotopes

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2015
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of personal radiation shields currently worn in hospital and other diagnostic environments. This study was performed with four different radioisotopes; (18)F, (99m)Tc, (124)I and (131)I. (18)F results showed a decrease in dose with 0.5-mm Pb shielding but the reduction provided does not warrant

Measurements of activation cross sections for proton induced reactions on natural platinum targets leading to the formation of gold radioisotopes

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2019
Abstract Proton beam of energy 14.7 MeV have been used to study the reaction cross sections and the excitation functions of the possibly produced gold radioisotopes using stacked foil technique. Five Au radioisotopes namely, 193Au, 194Au, 195Au, 196Au and 198Au have been measured and discussed in the energy range from the proton reactions threshold ...

Yield and excitation function measurements of some nuclear reactions on natural thallium induced by protons leading to the production of medical radioisotopes201Tl and203Pb

Radiochimica Acta, 2007
Excitation functions for201Pb,202mPb,203Pb and204mPb radionuclides which are formedviaproton induced reactions with natural thallium target have been measured from their respective threshold (Ethr) to 27.5 MeV using activation technique. Natural copper foils were used to monitor the cyclotron beam.

Dose assessment of bremsstrahlung induced by beta-emitting radioisotopes of uranium-238 series and lead in human tissues

Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2014
In the natural uranium-238 decay series, pure beta isotopes such as (234)Th, (234)Pa, (214)Pb, (214)Bi, (210)Pb and (210)Bi are released. The few lead isotopes such as (211)Pb, (212)Pb, (213)Pb and (215)Pb are good beta emitters. In certain nuclear reactions of reactor these isotopes are released.
