Level density ρ is derived for a finite system with strongly interacting nucleons at a given energy E, neutron N, and proton Z particle numbers, projection of the angular momentum M, and other integrals of motion, within the semiclassical periodic-orbit theory (POT) beyond the standard Fermi-gas saddle-point method. For large particle numbers, one obtains an analytical expression for the level density which is extended to low excitation energies U in the statistical micro-macroscopic approach (MMA). The interparticle interaction averaged over particle numbers is taken into account in terms of the extended Thomas - Fermi component of the POT. The shell structure of spherical and deformed nuclei is taken into account in the level density by the Strutinsky shell correction method through the mean-field approach used near the Fermi energy surface. The MMA expressions for the level density ρ reaches the well-known macroscopic Fermi-gas asymptote for large excitation energies U and the finite combinatoric power-expansion limit for low energies U. We compare our MMA results for the averaged level density with the experimental data obtained from the known excitation energy spectra by using the sample method under statistical and plateau conditions. Fitting the MMA ρ to these experimental data on the averaged level density by using only one free physical parameter - inverse level density parameter K - for several nuclei and their long isotope chain at low excitation energies U one obtains the results for K. These values of K might be much larger than those deduced from neutron resonances. The shell, isotopic asymmetry, and pairing effects are significant for low excitation energies.

In this study, the energy levels, electromagnetic transition probability, and charge density distribution of the 18O nucleus were calculated using the NuShellX@MSU code within the sdpn-shell and using the effective USDEPN and WCPN interactions. The charge density distribution values were also reasonably consistent with existing experimental data. Comparing the theoretical and experimental results indicates that applying the nuclear shell model using the USDEPN and WCPN interactions is successful within the sdpn-shell.

The radiation impact of the WWR-M research reactor is possible due to the release of radioactive substances into the environment, which are generated during both operation and decommissioning. One of the operator's responsibilities is to take measures to avoid or optimize the generation and management of radioactive waste to minimize the overall impact on the environment. Gaseous and airborne wastes are released into the environment through ventilation and air cleaning systems, which are essentials of the overall reactor design. The main method for preventing radioactive contamination spread to the environment is the combination of a well-designed ventilation system having thorough cleaning of the exhaust air. An analysis of the source terms of the gaseous-aerosol emissions, a description of the existing radiation control system and special ventilation system, and an analysis of the actual gaseous-aerosol emissions are presented. The total amount of gaseous-aerosol emissions during the planned reactor dismantling activity is estimated. The sufficiency and effectiveness of the existing system to ensure the required level of reactor safety are shown.

The upgraded Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) detector will provide data taken in Run3 at the instantaneous luminosity of proton-proton collisions increased to 2⋅1033 cm-2s-1 at energies of up to 14 TeV. To ensure the safe operation of the experiment, a new beam and background Radiation Monitoring System (RMS-R3) was built. RMS-R3 is based on metal-foil detector technology developed at the Institute for Nuclear Research, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine). The system comprises four detector modules with two sensors in each. Their frequency response is proportional to the flux of incident charged particles. The modules are located around the beam pipe at a distance of 2.2 m from the interaction point. The results measured during the Run3 in 2022 testify to the reliable operation of the system. Applying the asymmetry method, high-accuracy data were obtained on the localization of the interactions region and the beam and background contribution.

The article presents the results of the numerical simulation of the signal formation process of the background wires of self-powered neutron detectors (SPND) under the action of gamma radiation in the VVER-1000 core using MCNP code. The validation of the MCNP model was carried out on the results of experimental determination of the current of the background wires of the SPND, obtained at three different power units with VVER-1000 during the fuel campaign. The article also proposes a new gamma-ray method for determining the thermal power of the VVER-1000 reactor (TPR) based on the signals from the background wires of the SPND. TPR is an important safety parameter of VVER-1000, therefore, increasing the accuracy of determining TPR with the introduction of an additional gamma method for its determination is an urgent task, given the plans to increase the TPR of VVER-1000. The results of the experimental determination of the VVER-1000 TPR by the traditional neutron method based on the SPND signals are presented, and problematic issues regarding the error in determining the TPR by the neutron method are pointed out. The article presents the results of modeling to study the influence of the main factors affecting the change in the proportionality coefficient Kgm between the actual TPR and the TPR determined by the gamma method. To improve the accuracy of determining the TPR by the gamma method, a correction model for Kgm is proposed, which takes into account the effect of nuclear fuel burnup on the change in the signal of the background wires of the SPND. Taking into account that the signal of the background wires of the SPND is inertialess with respect to the change in the neutron power of the reactor, the introduction of the method for determining the TPR by the gamma method is promising for the implementation of an additional alternative channel for generating an emergency protection signal in terms of both power and the period of the reactor.

Hafnium is used for the production of control rods and protective screens in nuclear reactors after its hot plastic deformation and final thermochemical treatment. This research presents the experimental results of the influence of the surface layer state on the oxygen diffusion saturation of hafnium during thermochemical treatment in an oxygen-containing gas medium. Two cases of the surface layer state were considered: in the initial (delivery) state and after grinding, where 50 μm of the surface layer was removed. Differences between the hardness distributions in the near-surface layer of HFE-1 hafnium after thermochemical treatment in an oxygen-containing gas medium were shown. It was found that thermochemical treatment of hafnium with a surface layer in its initial state leads to an increase of hardness in the near-surface layer compared to the surface: i.e., the near-surface layer hardness increases to a depth of 5 - 7 μm, and then gradually decreases to the matrix (core) hardness. It was determined that the fatigue life of hafnium after thermochemical treatment depends on the surface layer state. A 6.5 times higher fatigue life after thermochemical treatment of hafnium samples was fixed with a grinded surface compared to hafnium samples without grinding.

The decontamination properties of shampoos for cesium, strontium, and cobalt were determined. The method has been developed for determining the decontaminating properties of shampoos. The chemical part of the study includes the preparation of hair, which consists of forced pollution and subsequent washing. Stable isotopes were used in the work. This has increased the safety of staff during chemical hair research. The analytical part includes the quantitative determination of the cesium, strontium, and cobalt in the hair, which was carried out by the Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) method using the analytical nuclear-physical complex "Sokol". Various shampoos were analyzed, and their decontamination properties were determined. During the research, various samples of shampoos, which are presented on the market of Ukraine, were considered. It has been established that TM "Ringo" shampoo has the best deactivating properties for cesium (Kd - 574.0) and insignificant deactivating properties for strontium (Kd - 3.1) and cobalt (Kd - 3.6). It was determined that with multi-isotope contamination (a mixture of cesium, strontium, and cobalt isotopes) decrease in the deactivation coefficient for all isotopes was observed, which is due to the competition factor of the isotopes in the complexation process with shampoo. Reduction of decontaminating properties was observed on all samples of shampoos.

Theoretical concepts of the positron annihilation process in structural materials of nuclear reactors, taking into account the peculiarities of their electronic structure, have been developed. The Tao - Eldrup model, which allows to analytically calculate the lifetime of a positron in a spherically symmetric potential well, has been modified for the case of a potential well of finite height, in order to expand the limits of the model's application. The dependence of the positron lifetime on the height and width of the potential well, which occurs at the point defects, was determined. The results obtained within the framework of the modified model provide important information for the analysis of positron lifetime spectra in irradiated materials and data for the verification of quantitative calculations by the method of density functional theory.

Quantum effects in pycnonuclear reactions in compact stars at zero temperatures are studied with high precision. The reaction 16O + 16O was analyzed using the method of multiple internal reflections. The study of such reactions requires full consideration of quantum fluxes in the internal nuclear region. This reduces the rate and number of pycnonuclear reactions up to 1.8 times. This leads to the appearance of new states (which we call quasibound states) where the compound nuclear system is formed with maximal probability. As shown, the minimal energy of such a state is slightly higher than the energy of zero-mode oscillations in the lattice nodes in the pycnonuclear reaction, however, the probability of the formation of a compound system in a quasibound state is significantly greater than the corresponding probability in a state of zero-mode oscillations. It is reasonable to say that the frequency of reactions in quasi-bound states is more likely than in states of zero-mode oscillations. This can lead to significant changes in estimates of reaction rates in stars.

The peculiarities of the corrective effect of bee pollen on the indicators of the immune system (non-specific resistance and the immune system) of 56 conditionally healthy women living under constant exposure to low-intensity ionizing radiation of natural and man-made origin in the city of Kropyvnytskyi, Kirovohrad region, were investigated. To determine the probable radio-modification, bee pollen from the spring collection was used. The work used immunological methods of the 1st level, in-depth studies of cytomorphological changes of neutrophils and lymphocytes, as the main elements of the immune system, and also determined the hidden insufficiency of the immune system. The conducted studies showed the presence of a positive corrective effect of the course of bee pollen introduced into the diet on the indicators of non-specific resistance and the immune system in the case of the combined permanent effect of natural and man-made low-intensity radiation on the body of conditionally healthy women. The obtained corrective effect is manifested by the normalization or tendency to normalize the indicators of the cellular link of non-specific resistance to its restoration and reduction of the frequency and severity of the existing and hidden insufficiency of the content of lymphocytes, positive shifts in the number of intact and functioning neutrophils. The mechanisms of the corrective effect of bee pollen on the indicators of the immune system have been established. They include: a detoxification effect, a decrease in the level of inflammation, an increase in the number of functionally capable cells in the pool of neutrophils and lymphocytes.

To determine the probable radio-modification, bee pollen from the spring collection was used. The work used immunological methods of the 1st level, in-depth studies of cytomorphological changes of neutrophils and lymphocytes, as the main elements of the immune system, and also determined the hidden insufficiency of the immune system. The conducted studies showed the presence of a positive corrective effect of the course of bee pollen introduced into the diet on the indicators of non-specific resistance and the immune system in the case of the combined permanent effect of natural and man-made low-intensity radiation on the body of conditionally healthy women. The obtained corrective effect is manifested by the normalization or tendency to normalize the indicators of the cellular link of non-specific resistance to its restoration and reduction of the frequency and severity of the existing and hidden insufficiency of the content of lymphocytes, positive shifts in the number of intact and functioning neutrophils. The mechanisms of the corrective effect of bee pollen on the indicators of the immune system have been established. They include: a detoxification effect, a decrease in the level of inflammation, an increase in the number of functionally capable cells in the pool of neutrophils and lymphocytes.","PeriodicalId":42588,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Physics and Atomic Energy","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81464551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
