1. DIFFERENTIAL CROSS-SECTIONS OF A DOUBLE SPIN-FLIP IN d+d REACTIONS AND SUPERMULTIPLET POTENTIAL MODEL OF THE INTERACTION OF CLUSTERS
V. M. Lebedev, V. G. Neudatchin, B. G. Struzhko
The experimental two-dimensional proton-proton coincidence spectra of the four-particle reaction d + d ΰ p + p + n + n are simulated with regard to dominant quasi-binary processes, viz. a quasi-free scattering of protons and final-state interaction of nucleons. Differential cross-sections ds(J,E)/dW of a deuteron charge exchange 2H(d,2n)2p reaction (0,57 ± 0.03 mb/sr at qcm = 62,5°, 1,01 ± 0,05 mb /sr at qcm = 79,6°, Ecm = 11,6 MeV) and spin-isospin flip 2H(d,d*)d* one (1,1 ± 0,3 mb /sr at qcm = 90°, Ecm = 23,4 MeV) are defined. They are compared to the cross-sections calculated in the approach of generalized (supermultiplet) potential model where the problem of the interaction of clusters A and Β can be reduced to a set of one-channel scattering problems with potentials V[f], where [f] are the allowed Young schemes for the system A + B. This is important for channels with minimum total spin S, in which the nonunitary elastic scattering amplitude TLS is the half-sum of two different amplitudes TL[f], which are invariant to SU(4) transformations. Inelastic amplitudes of the deuteron spin-isospin flip or charge exchange reactions are the half-difference of TL[f] ones. The theoretical cross-sections of inelastic processes are obtained equal 0,48, 1,61 і 0,61 mb /sr respectively.
2. THE IMAGINARY PART OF THE NUCLEON-NUCLEUS OPTICAL
POTENTIAL IN HOT NUCLEI
V. P. Aleshin
In the present paper, we describe a semiclassical method of calculation of the imaginary part of the nucleon-nucleus optical potential, W, in hot nuclei. A practical means to account for the temperature dependence of W in statistical particle-emission calculations is also discussed.
3. ABOUT anomalous ENERGY DEPENDENCE OF THE OPTICAL POTENTIAL
FOR 9Be + 209Bi SYSTEM AT NEAR BARRIER ENERGIES
It is shown that recently revealed unusual energy dependence of the optical potential, describing the elastic scattering of 9Be by 209Bi at near barrier energies, is removed when Coulomb polarization potential is introduced in the optical potential. Such optical potential has normal energy dependence and satisfy to dispersion relation at strong absorption radius. Calculation of fusion (complete + incomplete fusion) and total peripheral reaction cross sections also indicate necessity of inclusion Coulomb polarization potential in the optical potential when analyzing elastic scattering differential cross sections for 9Be + 209Bi system at near barrier energies.
4. KINETIC DESCRIPTION OF THE ISOVECTOR DIPOLE EXCITATIONS IN HOT NUCLEI
V. I. Abrosimov, O. I. Davidovskaya
Semiclassical model based on the solution of the Vlasov kinetic equation for finite Fermi-systems with a moving surface is generalized for the description of the collective excitations of hot nuclei. The temperature effects are taken into account in the collision integral in the relaxation time approximation and in the equilibrium distribution function. It is found that the width of giant dipole resonance increases when the temperature grows in the approximation of rare collisions between nucleons. It is shown that the increase of the width is mainly due to the temperature dependence of the collision term.
5. MEASUREMENT OF ISOMERIC RATIOS IN 232Th PHOTOFISSION PRODUCTS
O. A. Bezsheyko, V. A. Zheltonozhsky, I. N. Kadenko, N. V. Strilchuk
Measurement of activity of 232Th photofission products with T1/2 = 1 min Έ 10 h has been carried out using g-spectroscopy technique. The targets were irradiated by bremsstrahlung g-quanta from Mevatron KD2 linear electron accelerator with boundary energy of 23 MeV. Using obtained data about photofission fragments yield isomeric ratios for 117In, 130Sb, 133Te, 134gI and 135Xe nuclei have been measured for the first time at boundary energy of 23 MeV. For the first time mean angular momenta for mentioned above nuclei at 232Th photofission have been determined.
6. THREE-CLUSTER VARIANT OF THE ALGEBRAIC VERSION OF RESONATING GROUP METHOD AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE BOUND STATE PROPERTIES STUDY OF 6He AND 8He NUCLEI
V. S. Vasilevsky, A. B. Nesterov, F. Arickx, P. Van Louwen
Microscopic model for three-cluster configuration of light nuclei has been formulated in the frameworks of resonating group method in its algebraic version. The model has been applied for the groundstates of 6He and 8He in configuration of α-particle plus two n-clusters and α-particle plus two 2n-clusters. The results have been obtained emphasize the importance of three-cluster moving mode for adequate description of nuclear properties, especially neutron halo.
7. STUDY OF THE 3H(3H, 2n)4He AND 3He(3He, 2p)4He REACTIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THREE-CLUSTER MICROSKOPIC MODEL
V. S. Vasilevsky, A. V. Nesterov, F. Arickx, J. Broeckhove
The reactions 3H(3H, 2n)4He and 3He(3He, 2p)4He are investigated within a fully microscopic cluster model featuring a three-cluster exit channel. A Hyperspherical Harmonics basis is used to describe the three-cluster continuum. The resulting astrophysical s-factor of both reactions is in good agreement with experimental data. Analysis of the low-energy scattering parameters reveals no evidence for a hidden resonance state would increase the cross-section of the reactions, and would help to resolve the solar neutrino problem.
8. SHAKE-OFF ACCOUNT OF EFFECTS FROM A BETA-DECAY AT DETERMINATION OF INTERNAL CONVERSION COEFFICIENTS DUE TO SECONDARY
ELECTRON RADIATION
By means of selection coincidence of g-quantums with the secondary electrons (еo-electrons) and b-particles (gbеo-coincidences) and special geometry of measurements the formation of еo-electrons from electrons of shake-off accompanying b-decay is chosen and its output is determined. Influence of this additional source of еo-electrons formation on the accuracy of the internal conversion coefficient determination is estimated, when the output of еo-electrons from electrons of conversion is defined on the output of еo-electrons from b-particles.
9. MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ELECTRICAL FIELDS FOR THE BUNCHING BEAMS AT THE RF-ACCELERATORS
M. E. Dolinska, N. L. Doroshko, O. K. Zaichenko
The simple analytical expressions for the potential and electrical field strength for the accelerating particle bunches with such configurations as: spherical bunches with parabolic density ions distributions and elliptical bunches with homogeneous and parabolic density ions distributions are obtained. The values of these parameters are calculated for the typical bunches of the accelerators. The calculated electrical field strengths for the bunches with parabolic density ions distributions are closed to the real values.
10. IMPROVEMENT OF OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS CRITERIA OF WWER-1000
FUEL LOADING
A. A. Korennoj, N. A. Fridman
Based on the examples of typical fuel cycles of WWER-1000 reactor the approaches and criteria allowing to perform the evaluation of effectiveness are considered. Particular attention is focused on the fact that during the operation of fuel loading the average level of reactor heat power is lower to nominal.
11. PHYSICALLY LARGE PRESSURISED WATER REACTOR NEUTRON FIELD STABILITY INCREASE METHOD
А. A. Korennoj
The approximate decision analysis of the task of optimum reactor control during the xenon transient processes is carried out on an example WWER-1000. The opportunities of the earlier developed power distribution given offset maintenance algorithm are investigated.
The offered paper bases on long-term authors experience on creation of thin heat-temperature electric insulating glass-ceramic coatings by means of a sol-gel method. The features of sol-gel systems based on tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) used for formation of coatings on metals and alloys are considered. Two variants of coatings preparation which are developed to increase their flexibility without deterioration of electrical parameters are described. The physical and chemical processes during high-temperature treatment are analyzed. The results of the tests of electro-physical parameters of the coatings and the perspective of their use for flexible heat temperature electric insulation of wires are discussed, including needs of nuclear power.
13. THE DEPENDENCE OF ELECTROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
HIGH-RESISTANCE n-SI, GROWN BY VARIOUS METHODS ON FAST-PILE NEUTRONS FLUENCE
О. P. Dolgolenko, P. G. Litovchenko, О. P. Litovchenko, V. F. Lastovetsky
Silicon n-type samples with resistivity ~2.5 Χ 103 Om Χ cm grown by the method of the floating-zone (FZ) in vacuum, in argon atmosphere (Ar) received by the method of transmutation doping (NTD) are investigated at room temperature before and after irradiation by fast-pile neutrons. Our experimental studies has shown that the radiation hardness of n-type silicon is determined in the first place by the introduction rate of the defect clusters and then already by the introduction rate of point defects in conducting matrix of n-Si. The effective concentration of carriers, measured at room temperature, is determined in the framework of Gossick's model taking into account the recharges of defects both in conducting matrix of n-Si and in the space-charge region of defect clusters. The temperature dependence of the concentration of carriers in conducting matrix of n-Si is simulated with constant introduction rate of two acceptor levels at (Ec 0,43 eV) and (Ec 0,315 eV) under the calculating of the dependence dose of effective concentration of carriers. Our research has shown that neutron-transmutation-doped n-Si, grown by the method of a floating-zone in argon atmosphere possess the increased radiation hardness.
14. KINETICS OF DEFECTS ACCUMULATION IN CONDUCTING MATRIX OF n-Si, IRRADIATED BY FAST-PILE NEUTRONS FLUENCE
A. P. Dolgolenko, P. G. Litovchenko, M. D. Varentsov, V. F. Lastovetsky
High-resistivity neutron-transmutation-doped n‑Si (NTD) have been grown by a method of a floating-zone melting in the atmosphere of argon after irradiation with different doses of fast-pile neutrons is investigated. The temperature dependences of effective concentration of carriers after irradiation are calculated. The calculation was carried out in the framework of Gossick`s model taking into account the recharges of defects both in conducting matrix of n‑Si and in the space-charge region of defect clusters. It is shown that the average radius of defect clusters increases with irradiation dose growth. The introduction rate of divacancies in the conducting matrix of n‑Si (NTD) is five times less than in n‑Si (FZ). During the repeated transmutation doping of such silicon to concentration of carriers ~ 1014 cm-3, the repeated irradiation by fast-pile neutrons has shown that the introduction rate of divacancies has decreased approximately for two times. It is possible to assume that in neutron-transmutation-doped n‑Si after recovery annealing recombination centres of divacancies are remained.
15. LOW FREQUENCE TURBULENCE IN HELICON PLASMA
Spectra of oscillations in a dense plasma of the short helicon source excited at the frequency 13,56 MHz were investigated. It was shown that the nonlinear interaction between high frequency pumping and the plasma resulted in arise of a low frequency turbulence (in the range of 1 MHz). Excitation thresholds depending on a power deposition and a magnetic field strength were estimated. Phase velocities and waves, as well as their spatial correlation properties were measured. The turbulent pulsations were identified to be the ion-sound waves. Their spatial distribution in the discharge volume were measured. Several mechanisms of the ion-plasma turbulence excitations were analyzed theoretically and numerically estimated. It was shown that in the given experimental conditions the decay instability of electrostatic oscillations had the most efficiency.
16. The comparATIVE analysis of gene expression between NORMAL AND MORPHOLOGICALLY ABNORMAL NEEDLES OF SCOTS PINE GROWING IN THE CHERNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE
L. B. Zelena, B. V. Sorochinsky
The comparative analysis of 373 genes expression between normal and morphologically abnormal needles of Scots pine growing in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone was carried out. Differences among genes expression of genes number were revealed, the increasing of expression level of genes coding ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and ascorbate peroxidase was registered.
17. DISTINCTIONS IN ACCUMULATION OF 137Cs BY OBLIGATORY AND FACULTATIVE REPRESENTATIVES OF ECOLOGICAL GROUP OF MUSHROOMS-SYMBIOTROPHES
N. E. Zarubina, O. L. Zarubin
On the research area (the alienation zone of ChNPP and southern trace) the content of 137Cs in the facultative representative of ecological group of symbiotrophes Paxillus involutus thin exceeded the content of this radionuclide in obligatory kinds (Suillus luteus, Xerocomus badius etc.) in 2 - 20 times during the period of 1986 - 1998 - 2000. For the last years the levels of accumulation of radiocesium in P. involutus in the alienation zone of ChNPP have decreased and in 2001 do not exceed (at some polygons in 2 - 5 times below) of 137Cs content in obligatory kinds. Such features of 137Cs accumulation by P. involutus are connected to the place of localization of this kind mycelium - the layer of the forest litter, which in turn is the consequence of display of facultativness of this kind in substratum nutritious choice.
18. Radioecological consequence of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant water cooler pond DISCHARGE
D. V. Lukashov
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant water cooler pond discharge consequence has been analyzed: the remaining reservoirs area and depth, 137Cs and 90Sr activity on the drainage area. Scheme of water cooler pond discharge has been proposed, that will allow considerable decrease the radioactivity pollution of these areas.
19. The variations of the accumulation coefficients of the radionuclides DUE TO biodestruction of the fuel particles
T. N. Lashko, A. P. Lashko
Results of the vegetation and field experiments on studying the influence of soil biota on 137Cs and 90Sr accumulation by some agricultural plants from the soils of north (fuel) trace are presented. Data on three cultures (sugar-beet, clover, cabbage) and two strains of two soil micromycetes have been obtained. These results are the evidence of the fact that soil micobiota can be the factor which allows to change the intensity of radionuclide migration in the system soil - plant (by increasing or decreasing it).
20. ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI FROM THE CHERNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE AND THEIR POSSIBLE INFLUENCE TO THE ACCUMULATION OF
RADIONUCLIDES BY PLANTS
A. V. Kripka, A. M. Kuchma, B. V. Sorochynsky
More then 30 plants species from the Chernobyl exclusion zone have been analyzed and plant samples with high level of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) colonization were selected. Spores of AM fungi have isolated from the rhizosphere of those plants, which had high accumulation abilities related to the radionuclides and were high AM colonized as well. These AM spores are used to produce inocula in order of its forthcoming application in the phytoremediation activity.
21. Studying of some growth and trophic features of fungi that
ARE able to grow activeLY in THE ChNPP 4-th block conditions
N. N. Zhdanova, Yu. V. Blazhеevskaya, V. V. Vember
Growth parameters of fungi that previously considered as active growing in conditions of ChNPP 4-th block ChNPP were studied. Such growth parameters were radial growth velocity, hyphal growth unit (HGU) and also intensity of colonization of substratum. All experiments were made on 2 types of nutrient medium: optimal medium malt agar and starving agar. Two types of radioactive substrates colonization by fungi were identified. The growth of main species-biodestructor Cladosporium sphaerospermum on other concentrations of glucose was investigated and its ability to fixation of carbonic acid form air and oligotrophia were shown. The trophic relations of main species-biodestructor Cladosporium sphaerospermum and two species that constantly were isolated with it were also studied. It was shown that fungi that previously considered as active growing in conditions of ChNPP 4-th block are really those.
22. ROLE OF ENDOPHYTIC FUNGI IN THE MIGRATION OF THE RADIONUCLIDES IN THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE UKRAINIAN
POLESYE SPHAGNIOPRATUM
N. N. Zhdanova, E. V. Sokolova, I. N. Kurchenko, A. A. Orlov
It is known that the specific activity of 137Cs in vegetative phytomass of cranberry and sphagnum in oligotrophic conditions of Ukrainian Polessye forest sphagniopratum amounts 5000 10000 Bq/kg of air-dry weight. Roots of cranberry in natural conditions never run up to peat and mainly are located in top layer of the sphagnum top which is sodden by a water, but specific activity of the radionuclide in swamp water is low (2 10 Bq/l). It was supposed that mycorrhizal and endophytic micromycetes take an essential part in transferring the mineral substances and 137Cs from sphagnum mosses to ericoid plants under oligotrophic swamp conditions. Endophytic fungi from vascular plants were not investigated in Ukraine. The article is devoted to the estimation of distribution of endophytic fungi in plants which are dominants of the plant cover of sphagniopratum. 47 species of micromycetes which belong to 27 genera were identified. For moss and ericoid plants five mutual species of endophytic fungi was detected.
The UV-B irradiation effect on spore germination and hyphae growth of phythopathogenic fungus Fusarium solani was studied. Spores irradiation by small doses of 0,1 - 1,0 kJ/m2 results in growth stimulation of primary hyphae. Adaptive effect of UV-B small doses for fungi was shown. Preliminary irradiation in doses of 0,1 - 0,5 kJ/m2 increased spore radioresistance and diminished the effect of the next damaging dose.
24. THE METHOD OF 90Sr CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT IN BIOLOGICAL OBJECTS AND SOIL SAMPLES WITHOUT RADIOCHEMISTRY
М. D. Bondarkov, D. M. Bondarkov, V. А. Zheltonozhsky, L. V. Sadovnikov,
А. М. Maksimenko, N. V. Strilchuk
Following is the description of the methods of 90Sr non-radiochemical measurement, which are based on beta and gamma spectrum measurement which are applicable both for life-time measurement in small biological objects (mice, frogs etc.) and also for routine radioecological research of the contamination of soil, flora etc. with radiostrontium. The comparison of the described methods with standard radiochemical ones for biological and soil samples of Red Forest was carried out. It is shown that proper correlation of both methods results were obtained.
25. PHYTOREMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY: DYNAMIC PECULIARITIES
AND PERSPECTIVES OF FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
A. P. Kravets, Yu. A. Pavlenko
Dynamic peculiarities of soil phytoremediation have been investigated by means of mathematic models of radionuclide migration into system soil - plant, soil- many years' crops. Modern possibilities and efficiency of phytoremediation technology has been estimated. It is calculated that only the increase of annual radionuclide release to 2 - 3 % permit to avoid the pollutant delay into topsoil during the first 8 - 10 years after fallout.
Reduction of ozone layer, owing to anthropogenic contamination of an atmosphere results in increase of intensity of UV-radiation and shift of its spectrum in the short-wave side that causes strengthening of various biological effects of irradiation. Consequences of these processes may include increase of injuring of plants and decrease of productivity of agricultural crops to increased UV levels. The important significance in the plants adaptation to different unfavorable factors has the plants radioadaptive answer. It has been shown that radioadaptation of plants occurred not only after irradiation with g-radiation in low doses but after UV-rays action . Reaction of radioadaptation it seems to be nonspecific phenomenon in relation to type radiations.
27. REGULARITY of mortality and life span of the experimental animals under the exposure OF protracted internal irradiation with radionuclides of 137Cs and 90Sr
V. M. Indyk, Ya. I. Serkiz, A. I. Lypska, A. V. Alistratov, I. P. Drozd,
T. B. Gerasimova, T. N. Dudchenko
It has been shown that exposure to protracted low intense irradiation with low doses, caused by radionuclides (137Cs and 90Sr) has negative influence on survival indices and expected life span in different groups according to age. Mortality of irradiated animals is mainly caused by development of pathological processes of intumor oridgin. The frequency of radiation induced tumors is the same with intact control.
28. RESEARCH OF POSSIBILITIES TO DECREASE GENETIC CONSEQUENCES OF PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS TO RADIATION IN THE CHORNOBYL NPP ZONE BY MEANS OF FLAMIKAR
Z. D. Savtsova, O. Yu. Yudina, I. M. Voieykova, N. I. Fedosova, L. M. Evstratieva,
S. A. Kovbasiuk, V. M. Indyk, L. P. Kuprash
Permanent exposure of experimental animals to irradiation in the Chernobyl NPP zone was shown to have genetic consequences. One manifestation of these is the reduced viability and physiological deficiency in progeny, including deficiency of the immune system. As a counter to this, it was shown that progeny of F1 F3 whose parents (males or both males and females) were given Flamikar, polyextraction from ashberries, did not differ considerably from control in terms of birth rate and early postnatal death. Moreover, these animals showed neither significant alterations of discrete immunologic characteristics nor changes in their anti-viral and anti-tumor resistance was not affected. The obtained results proved that Flamikar is promising as a means to reduce the adverse effect of prolonged exposure to combined irradiation.
29. SENSITIVITY TO GENOTOXIC EFFECTS OF BLEOMYCIN OF BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES OF PEOPLE RESIDING IN VILLAGES OF CHNPP EXCLUSION ZONE
T. V. Tsyganok
On purpose of comparative determination of cell repair system activity of people residing without permission in the villages of ChNPP exclusion zone and of Yahotyn district, Kiev region (control group) the chromosome sensitivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes to genotoxic effect of bleomycin in vitro was studied. Chromatid break frequency per cell was a criterium for the estimation. It was found a significantly higher sensitivity to bleomycin in ChNPP exclusion zone self-settlers group due to cell reaction of people younger than 60. For the elderly people there was revealed no significant difference.
30. THE CRACOW SCANNING NUCLEAR MICROPROBE:
RESEARCH POSSIBILITIES AND ELEMENT MICROANALYSIS
A new micro analytical setup based on the scanning nuclear microprobe (MP) was constructed in the Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) in Cracow, Poland in the framework of Polish-Ukrainian scientific and technical collaboration. The particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique is installed on the MP. The PIXE spectra and corresponding two-dimensional distribution maps (250 ΄ 250 mm2) of chemical elements in thin (80 - 150 mm) sections of the lichen Xanthoria parietina were obtained. Heterogeneity of several elements (trace elements, in particular) distributions is clearly visualized in the maps. The obtained results show that micro-PIXE method can be extremely useful in the investigations of physiological and biochemical processes in a tissue of biological sample as well as in biomonitoring of air quality. The potential possibilities of the Cracow MP are described in the paper.
