Effect of Heating Treatment on Synthetic Ceric Oxide as Inorganic Resin for Immobilization of Cadmium-(II) [PDF]
The immobilization of cadmium-(II) following nuclear reaction of 114Cd (n,γ) 115Cd → 115mIn or 112Cd (p,2n) 111In is absolutely needed concerning to the quality of resulting radioisotope products and the efficiency of enriched target utilization.

An experimental apparatus for study of direct β-radiation conversion for energy harvesting [PDF]
This paper introduces the development and testing of an experimental apparatus for characterization of a direct charging nuclear battery. The battery consists of a parallel-plates capacitor which is charged in a vacuum by the current of {\beta}-radiation particles (electrons) emitted from a radioisotope.

Anomalies in Radioactive Decay Rates: A Bibliography of Measurements and Theory [PDF]
Knowledge of the decay rates (or half-lives) of radioisotopes is critical in many fields, including medicine, archeology, and nuclear physics, to name just a few. Central to the many uses of radioisotopes is the belief that decay rates are fundamental constants of nature, just as the masses of the radioisotopes themselves are. Recently, the belief that

Progress of photonuclear cross sections for medical radioisotope production at the SLEGS energy domain [PDF]
Photonuclear reactions using a laser Compton scattering (LCS) gamma source provide a new method for producing radioisotopes for medical applications. Compared with the conventional method, this method has the advantages of a high specific activity and less heat.

Linac activation of radioisotopes and underground gammaspectrometric analyses [PDF]
After irradiating various medical linac parts with photon beams, we performed underground gamma-ray spectroscopy (GRS) measurements of the samples only a few minutes after the irradiations, in order to observe activated short-lived radioisotopes. Three samples were used: an Elekta Synergy flattening filter never irradiated before, an old flattening ...

A new concept for safeguarding and labeling of long-term stored waste and its place in the scope of existing tagging techniques [PDF]
The idea of a novel labeling method is suggested for a new way of long-term security identification, inventory tracking, prevention of falsification and theft of waste casks, copper canisters, spent fuel containers, mercury containers, waste packages and other items.

Radioisotope thermal photovoltaic application of the GaSb solar cell [PDF]
An examination of a RTVP (radioisotopic thermophotovoltaic) conceptual design has shown a high potential for power densities well above those achievable with radioisotopic thermoelectric generator (RTG) systems.

Wolf-Rayet stars and radioisotope production [PDF]
Radioisotopes are natural clocks which can be used to estimate the age of the solar system. They also influence the shape of supernova light curves. In addition, the diffuse emission at 1.8 MeV from the decay of 26Al may provide a measure of the present day nucleosynthetic activity in the Galaxy.
