Artigo IPEN-doc 27048 Development of an irradiation system for radioisotope production applied to industrial process tomography2016 - CARDOZO, NELSON X.; OMI, NELSON M.; AMBIEL, JOSE J.; FEHER, ANSELMO; NAPOLITANO, CELIA M.; SOMESSARI, SAMIR L.; CALVO, WILSON A.P.Among the various applications of radioisotopes, the use of radiotracers is considered the most important in diagnosing operation and troubleshooting of industrial process plants in chemical and petrochemical companies. The radiotracers are used in analytical procedures to obtain qualitative and quantitative data systems, in physical and physicochemical studies transfers. In the production of gaseous radioisotopes used as tracers in industrial process measurements, argon-41 (41Ar) and krypton-79 (79Kr) have low reactivity with other chemical elements. 41Ar is a transmitter range with high-energy (1.29MeV) and a high percentage of this energy transformation (99.1%), resulting in relatively small quantities required in relation to the other, for an efficient detection, even in large thicknesses components. Nowadays, the production of gaseous radioisotopes in nuclear research reactors is performed in small quantities (batches), through quartz ampoules containing natural gas 40Ar or 78Kr. In this sense, the aim of this study is to develop an irradiation system for gaseous radioisotope production in continuous scale, applied in industrial applications of emission tomography and flow measurement. The irradiation system may produce 41Ar with activity of 7.4x1011Bq (20Ci) per irradiation cycle, through the Reactor IEA-R1 with 4.5MW and average thermal neutron flux of 4.71x1013 ncm-2s-1 to meet an existing demand in NDT and inspections companies, and even needed by the Radiation Technology Centre, at IPEN/CNEN-SP. The irradiation system consists of an aluminium irradiation capsule, transfer lines, needle valves, stripy connections, quick connectors, manometer, vacuum system, dewar, lead shielding, storage and transport cylinders, among other components. The irradiation system was approved in the leakage and stability tests (bubble test, pressurization, evacuation and with leak detector equipment SPECTRON 600 T). In the experimental production, alanine dosimeters were distributed into various components of the irradiation system, obtaining 1.07x1011Bq (2.9Ci) of 41Ar. In addition, exposure rates were determined in the lead shielding wall, in which the liquefied radioactive gas was concentrated, and in the storage and transport cylinders after 41Ar was transferred, by the portable radiation meter Teletector ® Probe 6150 AD-t/H.Artigo IPEN-doc 26223 Preliminary studies on the development of an automated irradiation system for production of gaseous radioisotopes applied in industrial processes2019 - DOURADO, NELSON X.; OMI, NELSON M.; SOMESSARI, SAMIR L.; GENEZINI, FREDERICO A.; FEHER, ANSELMO; NAPOLITANO, CELIA M.; AMBIEL, JOSE J.; CALVO, WILSON A.P.The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate how it will be enhanced an Irradiation System (IS) developed with national technology to produce gaseous radioisotopes, by means of the components automation, to avoid the radiation exposure rate to operators of the system, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). Argon-41 (41Ar) and krypton-79 (79Kr) can be produced in continuous scale, gaseous radioisotopes used as radiotracers in industrial process measurements and it can be used in analytical procedures to obtain qualitative and quantitative data systems or in physical and physicochemical studies transfers. The production occurs into the IS, installed in the pool hall of a nuclear research reactor in which the irradiation capsule is positioned near the reactor core containing the isotope gaseous pressurized (40Ar or 78Kr), by (n,γ) reaction and generate the radioisotopes. After the irradiation, the gaseous radioisotope is transferred to the system and, posteriorly, to the storage and transport cylinders, that will be used in an industrial plant. In the first experimental production, was obtained 1.07x1011 Bq (2.9 Ci) of 41Ar distributed in two storage and transport cylinders, operating the IEA-R1 Research Reactor with 4.5 MW and average thermal neutron flux of 4.71x1013 n.cm-2.s-1. However, the system has capacity to five storage and transport cylinders and the estimated maximum activity to be obtained is 7.4x1011 Bq (20 Ci) per irradiation cycle. In this sense, the automation will be based in studies of the production process in the system and the use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and supervisory software allowing a remote control and consequently better security conditions.Artigo IPEN-doc 24717 Irradiation system for production of gaseous radioisotopes used as tracers in industrial process measurements2018 - CARDOZO, N.X.; OMI, N.M.; AMBIEL, J.J.; FEHER, A.; NAPOLITANO, C.M.; SOMESSARI, S.L.; CALVO, W.A.P.The use of radioisotopes as radiotracers is considered the most important in diagnosing operation and troubleshooting of industrial process plants in chemical and petrochemical companies. They are used in analytical procedures to obtain qualitative and quantitative data systems, in physical and physicochemical studies transfers. In the production of gaseous radioisotopes used as tracers in industrial process measurements, argon-41 (41Ar) and krypton-79 (79Kr) stand out because each has low reactivity with other chemical elements. 41Ar is a transmitter range with high-energy (1.29 MeV) and a high percentage of this energy transformation (99.1%), resulting in relatively small quantities required in relation to the other, for an efficient detection, even in large thicknesses components.
