The radioactivity of fifteen cars oil samples were be studied in this research, eight of them are local collected from the fuel station in Baghdad, the remaining seven are imported from different origins collected from local markets of Baghdad. The specific activity of the detected radionuclides were be measured by the spectral analysis technique of gamma-ray using high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. It was also a calculation of radiation risk factors; and the specific effective activity (Aeff), which was calculated for the first time in this research. Eight radionuclides were be detected in this work, 226Ra, 214Pb and 214Bi which belong to the uranium-238 series and 212Pb, 208Tl and 228Ac which belong to Th-232 series in addition to 40K and 137Cs. The results shown that the radium equivalent activity (Raeq) were 1.73 -13.72 Bq/l, the absorbed gamma dose rate (Dˠ) were 0.82 -6.24 nG/h, the representative gamma index (Iγr) were 0.012-0.096, the indoor annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) in were 0.004 - 0.03m Sv/y, the outdoor annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) out were 0.002-0.037 mSv/y, and the internal hazard index (Hint) 0.009-0.052, the external hazard index (Hext) 00.5-0.037. Another factor has been calculated for the first time in this research it’s the specific effective activity (Aeff) which is ranged between 1.76 and 13.26 Bq/l. The obtained results were compared with the worldwide average; it was within the recommended values. That mean, oils used in automobile engines are safe, valid for consumption and does not pose a danger to society and the environment.

In this study, we carried out Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) analysis of tap water from several houses located in different parts of Borojerd city In Iran. A 2.0 MeV proton beam was employed to excite the samples. The concentration of these elements varied from one month to other depending on session but the average elemental concentrations during a complete year seams invariant. The main objective of this work was to characterize and to monitor the trace elements in drinking water, as well as to provide valuable information about the levels of heavy metallic pollutions. The experimental results of trace elements analysis of drinking water of city of Borujerd which was sampled in different months during a year, has been presented by a spectrum of X-rays (in mg/lit) and graphs of quality concentration of elements. Our results were within the permissible limits reported by International standards, and WHO guidelines for drinking water quality and could be observed that the drinking water of Borojerd lacks any toxic trace elements and heavy metals.

In this article, the stress concentration in homogenous material was studied using an optical method of caustics. The study on stress concentration is of great research value to evaluate the damage inside materials. In this work, one optical experimental method, caustics method, is introduced to study the mechanical behavior of an elastic plate of transparent material. The governing equations of caustics method which is used to represent the optics-mechanics relation of the singular yield close to the external load are derived based on the exponential asymptotic expansion. The experimental result shows this optical method as a nondestructive methodology can be used to detect the damage in load zone with high accuracy.

Many high development countries have not the natural hydrocarbon deposits. That is why NPP energy production is constantly and intensive increases. For example, in France. The corresponding treats under NPP exploitation also are increasing, that caused by different natural and manmade factors, including as attractive objects for possible directed terrorist attacks. Correct assessments of corresponding risks and damages are necessary for any NPP at all periods: its projecting, building and exploitation under its complex integrated emergency management. Here we try to analyze some possible methods of NPP risk assessments. Early we predicted the irradiation doses and corresponded risks for population under implementation of Russian Federal Program:” Development of Russian atomic energy industrial complex on 2007-2020 years at 10 homeland NPP, that operated in normal non disasters regimes during two last decades. But such data are absent for NPP, that have been or will be under non prognostic emergencies. It is connected with the following facts. The part or total of needed information may be obtained only after NPP disasters. Some NPP are located in the dangerous regions and exposed to intense negative natural responses (earthquakes, tsunami, etc.) and manmade ones, when NPP are located in some dangerous conflicts zones with high level of possible terrorism threats. Here the using of classic methods of expertise risk NPP assessments are not correct and often impossible at all. Some needed thematic data may be obtained from primary virtual computer tests of individual NPP with imitation of possible disasters. It allows to plan the actions for NPP operators and special services under serious NPP disasters or may be to prevent them at all. These thematic problems, connected with the following NPP: Fukusima, Seversk in Tomsk region, Armenian, the future NPP in Kazakhstan and nuclear terrorism are also under consideration in this article.

Polymer materials are required to be used in nuclear power stations as insulation materials of electrical wire and cable. For the use of polymer materials in such regions, the electrical performance under different environments of radiation is different from that without radiation has been found through previous research. The aim of this paper is to use the change in mechanical properties with radiation dose to design polymer dosimeter. The experimental results show an improvement of Black PE mechanical properties such as distension, tensile strength and elongation at break as dose increases, indicating the predominance of cross-linking over oxidative degradation. The predominance of cross-linking results show linear relations between distension, tensile strength and elongation at break versus absorbed dose of gamma rays source. These relationships between these properties and dose level can be utilized as measuring tool (Dosimeter) for radiation exposure that incident on the HDPE samples.

In this article, the energy levels of Aluminum isotopes 24Al and 25Al are calculated using OXBASH shell model code. The calculations were carried out in the SD model space with the W and CW Hamiltonian [1, 2] using the code OXBASH for windows PC [3]. This code which is based on one of the most applicable nuclear models, the shell model, deals with evaluating energy levels in nuclei. Using this code to calculate the energy levels of an isotope, produces several files that contains a set of data. The ground state energy of a nucleus and also the probable energies of excitation levels can be calculated by OXBASH. Programs will be reliable only when results meet experimental procedures. A compilation of SD-shell energy levels calculated with the USD Hamiltonian was published around 1988. A comparison had been made between our results and the available experimental data to test theoretical shell model description of nuclear structure in Aluminum isotopes. The calculated energy spectrum is in good agreement with the available experimental data.

Acute radiation syndrome results in 4 four phases among which the prodromal one characterized by malaise, diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia. It last a few hours, but from irradiation to the 7th day after, some other signs (unspecified, mild, moderate or severe) are observed. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess if Aged garlic extract (AGE) could offer radioprotection by preventing signs of prodromal phase after acute radiation syndrome. Knowing, AGE is a natural product containing different compounds with antioxidant activity and possessing several physiological activities in experimental animals. Eight groups, five healthy male rats each were used (20 irradiated and 20 Sham Irradiated), among which some were receiving via gavages distilled water, the others AGE at different doses (25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg) and the rest vitamin E + Alpha Lipoic Acid. The signs observed and evaluated (behavioral changes, salivation, state stool, water and food intake, weight loss, relative weight of organs, fatigue/weakness, temperature and bleeding) revealed a significant change in irradiated groups although AGE-pretreated rats prior and after irradiation revealed significant amelioration in radiation-induced disturbances. Therefore AGE can be considered having radioprotective effects against radiation-induced changes in prodromal phase signs.
