In nuclear power plants, measures against radioactive noble gases are required. Until now, special activated carbon that easily adsorbs noble gases has been used in some nuclear facilities. However, activated carbon has a small adsorption capacity and is

Determination of natural in vivo noble-gas concentrations in human blood. [PDF]
Although the naturally occurring atmospheric noble gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe possess great potential as tracers for studying gas exchange in living beings, no direct analytical technique exists for simultaneously determining the absolute ...

A database of noble gases in lunar samples in preparation for mass spectrometry on the Moon
The lunar regolith provides a temporal archive of the evolution of the Moon and inner Solar System over the last ~4 billion years. During this time, noble gases have been trapped and produced within soils and rocks at the lunar surface.

Using 81Kr and noble gases to characterize and date groundwater and brines in the Baltic Artesian Basin on the one-million-year timescale [PDF]
Analyses for 81 Kr and noble gases on groundwater from the deepest aquifer system of the Baltic Artesian Basin (BAB) were performed to determine groundwater ages and uncover the flow dynamics of the system on a timescale of several hundred thousand years.

Mineral Crushing Methods for Noble Gas Analyses of Fluid Inclusions
Noble gases are frequently probed for investigating fluid inclusions in minerals to unravel rock-forming processes through time. Over the last decades, heating and crushing have been the two main methods applied for noble gas extraction from fluid ...

On the Nature of the Partial Covalent Bond between Noble Gas Elements and Noble Metal Atoms
This article provides a discussion on the nature of bonding between noble gases (Ng) and noble metals (M) from a quantum chemical perspective by investigating compounds such as NgMY (Y=CN, O, NO3, SO4, CO3), [NgM−(bipy)]+, NgMCCH, and MCCNgH complexes ...

Selective Noble Gas Inclusion in Pentagon-Dodecahedral X20-Cages
Using DFT-based computational chemistry calculations (ωB97XD/def2-tzvp//ωB97XD/def2-svp/svpfit + ZPE(ωB97XD/def2-svp/svpfit)), binding energies of noble gases encapsulated in a series of dodecahedrane molecules (general formula: X20H20 where X = C, Si ...

A technique for detection of WWER fuel failures by activity of Xe radionuclides during reactor operation [PDF]
Fuel failures during operation of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) may lead to substantial economic losses. Negative effects of reactor operation with leaking fuel in the core may be reduced if fuel failures are detected in due time of the cycle.
