This review paper describes the destructive and non-destructive measurements
implemented or under development at CEA, in view to perform the most complete …

Mercury is one of the most toxic elements that may be found in natural water bodies and can
negatively affect living organisms, human health as well as drinking water quality. In …

The gamma de-excitation model of the general-purpose radiation transport code Particle
and Heavy Ion Transport code System, called the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File …

Using the Hg 2+-induced desulfurization reaction of thiosemicarbazide derivative, we
designed and synthesized a novel “turn on” coumarin-based fluorescent probe L with a …

A new analytical facility called MEDINA (Multi Element Determination based on Instrumental
Neutron Activation) and based on Prompt-and Delayed-Gamma-Neutron-Activation-Analysis …

This paper reports a feasibility study of 235 U and 239 Pu characterization in 225 L
bituminized waste drums or 200 L concrete waste drums, by detecting delayed fission …

Neutron generators offer an alternative to radioactive sources in the application of active
techniques for nondestructive assay of nuclear materials. The Add-A-Source technique has …

There is a pressing market demand to minimize the test time of Prompt Gamma Neutron
Activation Analysis (PGNAA) spectra measurement machine, so that it could function as an …

Sample-size reduction including homogenization is often required to obtain a test portion for
element compositional analysis. Analyses of replicate test portions may provide insight into …

For chemical analysis, reactions of neutrons with atomic nuclei can be used to induce a
radiation characteristic of the element. This is the basis for neutron activation analysis (NAA) …
