    Invited

    Accelerator mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, neutron activation analysis and underground gamma-ray spectrometry have been investigated for ultra-sensitive analysis of long-lived radionuclides ($^{238}U$ and $^{232}Th$) in isotope sources and in construction materials designed for underground studies of rare nuclear processes and decays. Specific features of each...

    Significant improvements in construction of Ge detectors for ultra-sensitive gamma-ray spectrometry systems located underground have been made in recent years. A special attention in the construction of the spectrometer was paid on requirement to achieve as low as possible background rates at the lines of progenies in the decay chains of U-238 and Th-232. Radiopurity of construction materials...

    Carbon-based nanomaterials (nanocarbons) exhibit exceptional mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties. These materials are attractive in various fields of science and technology, including energy storage. Despite the interest in nanocarbons as electrodes for supercapacitors and batteries, additional elements present at variable quantities could influence their electrochemical...

    Plutonium and americium belong to anthropogenic elements, and these ultra-trace elements are detected from environmental samples. Origin of these elements comes from the nuclear bomb tests and the accidental release from nuclear power plants. Isotope ratio and elemental abundance of these actinides provide information on the source term and the elapsed time [1][2]. Uranium and thorium in...

  5. 676. Application of HPLC-NAA for the speciation analysis of As, Fe and Se in infant formulas.

    Verbal

    Elemental speciation of As, Se and Fe in infant formulas is of prime importance in order to identify the sources of the specific chemical forms of trace elements. It enables to get better information about their metabolic pathways. In the case of As, it was found, that dietary exposure to inorganic As for children under 3 years old (including rice based food) is estimated to be about 2 to 3...
