Abstract It is well established that the forces between nucleons are transmitted by meson. The quantitative explanation of nuclear forces in terms of meson theory was extremely tentative & in complete but this theory supplies a valuable point of view . it is fairly certain now that the nucleons within nuclear matter are in a state made rather different from their free condition by the proximity of other nucleons charge independence of nuclear forces demand the existence of neutral meson as ...
This research article briefly describes the experimental utilizations of plant or organic material (wonderful kola seeds) for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles in a bid to understudy their applications and economic relevance. Furthermore, the characterization details were theoretically, chemically and statistically analyzed for data generation to compare with other data set, in line with nuclear applications and energy generation. Data obtained from the experimental procedure wer...
Abstract This study has been carried out in Radiation and Isotopes Center of Khartoum and Khartoum hospital, it, s aim was to the assessment of the effect of radiation in Blood Components from Tc-99m/MDP Bone Scintigraphy, such as the effects in WBCs, RBCs, PLT, HCT, MCV, LYM and HGB in addition to geographical distribution of cancer and highlighting the most common cancer in Sudan. The study conducted on 50 patients (50) as 76% female and 24 % male with different ages that candidate to the b...
ABSTRACT This research work performed an intercomparison on some important performance characteristics of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetry systems used by dosimetry services in Gabon and Ghana, respectively. The study verified the status of the selected performance indicators and propose ways to improve the performances of individual monitoring services of Ghana and Gabon if found necessary. The performance indicators assessed included the zero - ...
Abstract The geological disposal of radioactive waste in well-engineered repositories in stable geological formations has been internationally accepted as a suitable option. The disposal system makes use of both man-made and natural barriers to contain and isolation the radionuclides. Precambrian crystalline rocks are regarded as one of the favorable host rocks for a radioactive waste repository. Hydro geochemical characterization of the rocks of the Accra Plains, located in the south easter...
ABSTRACT Evaluation of safety parameters of GHARR-1 after nineteen years of operation was performed and are presented herein. This work serves as an input into periodic evaluations of safety parameters. Due to fuel depletion, the excess reactivity for GHARR1 drops to the allowed lower limit of 2.3 mk from 4 mk in about 2 years. Beryllium is added to the top shim tray of the core to compensate for reactivity loss. The addition of beryllium to the top of the core requires evaluations of safety...
ABSTRACT A comparative study of spectrum deconvolution and quantitative analysis between PyMCA & WinAxil has been undertaken. Standard spectra of X-ray Kα lines (Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr & Y) & Lα lines (Ce, Sm, Dy, Ta, W, Hg & U) were fitted with both software; also spectra of three soil samples were fitted with both software. Intensities of the elements of the standard spectra were obtained from the results of the fitting using both software and comparisons were made separately for...
ABSTRACT Data centres use a lot of power, consumed by two main usages: power required to run the actual equipment and power required to cool the equipment. Usage of electricity results in the production of electric and magnetic fields (EMF). Even though electricity is useful in human lives, there have been reported cases of adverse health effects from EMF generated from its use. Because the use of electricity is ubiquitous and plays a vital role in society’s economy, the possibility of har...
It is well established that the forces between nucleons are transmitted by mesons. According to the meson theory, the quantitative explanation of the nuclear forces was extremely tentative and incomplete. But this theory presents a valuable point of view. It is fairly certain now that the nucleons within nuclear matter are in a state made rather different from their free condition by the proximity of other nucleons .Charge independence of nuclear forces demand the existence of neutral meson a...
ABSTRACT Cereal-based weaning foods, which abound on the Ghanaian market, are nutritionally vital in the growth and development of infants. Recent reports in scientific literature however indicate that rice and other cereals used in the manufacture of the weaning foods contribute significantly to the intake of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) by infants. In view of this, frequent monitoring of the cereal-based weaning foods has become imperative. The study assessed the beneficial hea...
ABSTRACT A theoretical study of the production of Technetium-99m (99mTc) using a cyclotron has been conducted. A nuclear reaction model code (Talys code) was used to generate reaction cross sections as functions of particle energies for 100Mo (p, 2n)99mTc reaction channel which would lead to the direct production of 99mTc. Excitation function for the desired reaction channel for the production of 99mTc and excitation functions for the reaction channels of competing products (contaminants) we...
ABSTRACT Primordial radionuclides are ubiquitous in the environment and they exist in different ranges of concentration levels in minerals. Some human activities such as uranium mining can result in a rise of concentration of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and lead to exposure conditions. This necessitates a need to radiologically map and determine the extent of exposure of people who work in the mines and communities that live nearby as they can be the primary exposed popu...
ABSTRACT The 235U, 232Th series and natural 40K are the main source of natural radioactivity in soil and have long half-lives up to 1010 years. Therefore their presence in soils and rocks is simply considered as permanent. Also due to rapid urbanization, most of Basic School playgrounds in Accra are built close to major roads or industrial areas for which they are subject to many potential pollution sources, including vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions.. A study has been carried out on...
Abstract This work aims and explaining scientifically that Non- destructive testing plays an important role in the quality control of a product. It is used during all the stages of manufacturing of the products. It decreases the cost of the product by reducing scrap and conserving materials, labor and energy. NDT is used for detecting the leakage in pipelines for oil and natural gas, oil tankers, aero planes, aero space, measuring the thickness of steel and alloys. The methods of NDT r...
