    Calibration of the short irradiation facility for k0 - NAA implementation at the IEA-R1 reactor
    2021 - OLIVEIRA, J.P.; SILVA, P.S.C.; SEMMLER, R.; DIAS, M.S.; KOSKINAS, M.F.; MOREIRA, D.S.; YAMAZAKI, I.M.
    The short irradiation facility of the IEA-R1 nuclear research reactor at IPEN, São Paulo, Brazil, has been used for short irradiation of samples for the purpose of determining the concentration of elements of these samples through the use of the instrumental neutron activation analysis technique. With the aim of determine precisely the reactor parameters α and f, for implementing the k0-NAA method at the Neutron Activation Analysis Laboratory (LAN), was used the bare triple method. In this method, a set of three neutron flux monitors were irradiated without Cd-cover. The efficiency curve of the gamma-ray spectrometer used was determined by measuring calibrated radioactive sources at the commonly used counting geometries. The results for the parameters α and f were respectively 0.0384±0.0016 and 35.67±0.26. This value of f shows that the neutrons in the irradiation position are well thermalized. The variation of these parameters was studied with time and the reproducibility was verified.

    Consistency test of coincidence-summing calculation methods for extended sources
    2020 - SIMA, O.; DE VISMES OTT, A.; DIAS, M.S.; DRYAK, P.; FERREUX, L.; GURAU, D.; HURTADO, S.; JODLOWSKI, P.; KARFOPOULOS, K.; KOSKINAS, M.F.; LAUBENSTEIN, M.; LEE, Y.K.; LEPY, M.C.; LUCA, A.; MENEZES, M.O.; MOREIRA, D.S.; NIKOLIC, J.; PEYRES, V.; SAGANOWSKI, P.; SAVVA, M.I.; SEMMLER, R.; SOLC, J.; THANH, T.T.; TYMINSKA, K.; TYMINSKI, Z.; VIDMAR, T.; VUKANAC, I.; YUCEL, H.
    An internal consistency test of the calculation of coincidence-summing correction factors FC for volume sources is presented. The test is based on exact equations relating the values of FC calculated for three ideal measurement configurations. The test is applied to a number of 33 sets of FC values sent by 21 teams. Most sets passed the test, but not the results obtained using the quasi-point source approximation; in the latter case the test qualitatively indicated the magnitude of the bias of FC.

    SUMCOR
    2018 - DIAS, M.S.; SEMMLER, R.; MOREIRA, D.S.; MENEZES, M.O. de; BARROS, L.F.; RIBEIRO, R.V.; KOSKINAS, M.F.
    The main features of code SUMCOR developed for cascade summing correction for volumetric sources are described. MCNP6 is used to track histories starting from individual points inside the volumetric source, for each set of cascade transitions from the radionuclide. Total and FEP efficiencies are calculated for all gamma-rays and X-rays involved in the cascade. Cascade summing correction is based on the matrix formalism developed by Semkow et al. (1990). Results are presented applying the experimental data sent to the participants of two intercomparisons organized by the ICRM-GSWG and coordinated by Dr. Marie-Cristine Lepy from the Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel (LNE-LNHB), CEA, in 2008 and 2010, respectively and compared to the other participants in the intercomparisons.

    Gamma-ray impurities of 111In, 201Tl, 177Lu and 99mTc determined by means of a HPGE spectrometer
    2017 - KOSKINAS, MARINA F.; ALMEIDA, JAMILLE da S.; MOREIRA, DENISE S.; SEMMLER, RENATO; DIAS, MAURO da S.
    This work aims to present the radioactive impurities gamma rays emitters detected in some radiopharmaceuticals widely applied to diagnosis and therapy purposes, supplied to nuclear medicine services in Brazil by the Radiopharmaceutical Center(CR) of Nuclear and Energy Research Institute, IPEN, in São Paulo. The analysis was undertaken by means of an HPGe gamma spectrometer. The radiopharceuticals analyzed were: 111In, 201Tl, 177Lu and 99mTc.
