Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiation source technology, and in particular to an α instrument scale source. Background Technology

[0002] Alpha instrument calibration sources are prepared using alpha radionuclides. To ensure that the energy of alpha particles does not decay significantly within the source and to reduce self-absorption, the active layer must be extremely thin. Domestically produced alpha instrument calibration sources mainly include... 241 Am、 238 Pu and 244 Cm, etc.

[0003] In the 1960s, Parker, Kitoff, and others developed a new method for preparing radioactive sources and targets for nuclear physics experiments in weakly polar organic solvents. They used organic solvents such as isopropanol and an electroplating solution containing trace amounts of radioactive material in the form of inorganic acids for source preparation. The electroplating was carried out under high DC voltage and low current density. The radionuclide was deposited on the cathode in the form of hydroxides or other compounds. This method is called molecular electroplating and is widely used in the preparation of alpha instrument calibration sources. The advantages of molecular electroplating are: 1) More than 60% of the elements in the periodic table can be electrodeposited on metal substrates using this method; 2) The deposits are thin and uniform; 3) The cathode substrate can be a metal like aluminum without worrying about corrosion by the electroplating solution. Conventional molecular electroplating has the following main drawbacks: 1) About 40% of the elements in the periodic table are not suitable for this method; 2) The deposition curve of the nuclide on the cathode substrate is not linear, making it difficult to quantify the activity, with a first-pass yield of only about 15%. 3) Electroplating at high voltage (500~1000V) for more than 30 minutes results in severe boiling, rapid evaporation of the solution, and even combustion, posing significant safety hazards. 4) Since workers are handling radioactive nuclides, the long electroplating time increases their radiation dose. There is an urgent need for a novel alpha instrument calibration source. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an α instrument scale source.

[0005] Specifically, this invention provides an alpha instrument calibration source, comprising a source core and a substrate. The source core includes a first polycarbonate film and a second polycarbonate film.

The side of the first polycarbonate film adsorbing the precipitate containing the radionuclide and the second polycarbonate film are thermo-pressed into an integral structure. This novel alpha instrument calibration source provides a stable seal for the radionuclide-containing precipitate by encapsulating it in the first and second polycarbonate films. The precipitate is adsorbed on one side of the first polycarbonate film, and the conductive adhesive is fixed to the substrate, achieving stable sealing of the radioactive material and preventing leakage, while ensuring effective penetration of alpha particles. It has advantages such as robust structure, safety and reliability, excellent performance, good radionuclide universality, and ease of quantification.

[0006] Preferably, the radionuclide is an alpha radionuclide, which includes... 241 Am、 238 Pu or 244 Cm.

[0007] More preferably, the precipitate containing the radionuclide is a hydroxide precipitate of α-radionuclide and cerium.

[0013] Preferably, the substrate is a stainless steel substrate.

[0014] Preferably, the conductive adhesive is a graphene conductive adhesive.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are at least as follows: The novel α-instrument calibration source structure of this invention greatly improves the source's robustness, with an active material shedding rate far lower than that of traditional molecular plating sources, ensuring the source's long service life and safety. This invention's structure, with its sandwich structure completely sealing the radioactive nuclide-containing precipitate, forms a tight, complete, integrated source core with the active material through hot-pressing two layers of film. This structure effectively protects the extremely thin internal active layer from scratches, abrasion, and other external mechanical damage, greatly improving the overall robustness and durability of the radioactive source. The improved structural robustness allows it to better maintain its integrity under physical impact, preventing the active material from shedding. The structure of this invention enhances safety in use; the sandwich encapsulation structure provides a reliable physical barrier for the radioactive material. The active precipitate is firmly sealed between two tough polycarbonate films, effectively preventing leakage or shedding of radioactive powder, avoiding the risk of surface contamination to personnel and the environment during use and storage, making the daily operation and management of the radioactive source safer. The structure of this invention can maintain the flatness and uniform distribution of the active precipitate layer for a long time, preventing it from curling, peeling or shifting, thus ensuring the long-term consistency of key performance indicators such as surface emissivity and energy spectrum of the radioactive source, and providing a reliable guarantee for accurate instrument calibration.

[0041] The main equipment and reagents for preparing the α instrument calibration source in the following embodiments of the present invention are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0042] Table 1 Main Equipment

[0043]

[0044] Table 2 Main Reagents

[0045]

[0046] Example 1

[0047] The α instrument calibration source provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, from bottom to top, the structure includes a stainless steel substrate 1, a conductive adhesive layer 2, and a source core 6. The source core 6 is constructed by hot-pressing a first polycarbonate film 4 and a second polycarbonate film 5. A precipitate 3 containing a radioactive nuclide is electrostatically adsorbed and sealed between the two films. Specifically, the precipitate 3 containing the radioactive nuclide is attached to the upper surface of the first polycarbonate film 4, while the lower surface of the first polycarbonate film 4 is connected to the stainless steel substrate 1 via the conductive adhesive 2. The precipitate 4 containing the radioactive nuclide is an alpha radioactive nuclide. 241 Am and cerium hydroxide precipitate; the first polycarbonate film 4 has a thickness of 20 μm and a pore size of 0.01 μm. The second polycarbonate film 5 has a thickness of 0.15 μm, the conductive adhesive source core has a thickness of 20 μm, the stainless steel substrate 1 has a thickness of 3 mm, a diameter of φ60 mm, and an active area diameter of φ50 mm (source core). 241The Am instrument calibration source and the α instrument calibration source have a flat plate structure. The emitting surface of the α instrument calibration source consists of an active region and an inactive region. The active region emits α particles, and the active region corresponds to the source core.

[0048] The preparation process of the α instrument calibration source provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] 1. By adjusting the pH and adding a carrier, 241 Am forms hydroxide coprecipitate.

[0050] Take 20 mL 241 The Am solution was acidified using 4 M HCl. A cerium carrier solution (0.5 mg Ce) was added. 3+ ( / mL) to promote co-precipitation. Slowly add concentrated ammonia solution while stirring until the pH≈8.5 and the phenolphthalein indicator turns pink. The key point is to avoid localized over-alkalinity, which can lead to uneven precipitation. Cool in an ice bath for 10 minutes to increase the size of the precipitate particles and improve filtration efficiency.

[0051] 2. Polycarbonate membrane pretreatment and filtration

[0052] A 0.01 μm pore size and 20 μm thickness polycarbonate membrane was selected. The membrane was treated with an ion blower for 5 seconds to remove static electricity and reduce dust adsorption. It was then immersed in 80% ethanol for 5 minutes, followed by rinsing with deionized water to enhance hydrophilicity. The membrane was installed on a glass frit filter with the smooth side facing upwards and the rough side in contact with the support mesh. A vacuum pump was connected, and the pressure was controlled at 0.2–0.3 bar to prevent membrane rupture. The precipitate suspension from the first step was slowly poured into the filter, and filtration was performed until all liquid passed through. The membrane was washed once with 5 mL of 50% ethanol to initially remove soluble salts (such as NH4Cl).

[0053] Wash once with 5 mL of 50% ethanol to initially remove soluble salts (such as NH4Cl).

[0054] This step is primarily used for the initial removal of soluble salts such as NH4Cl to prevent salt clogging of the filter membrane during vacuum filtration. While there is some overlap between the two washing steps, the ethanol wash in step 3.2.2 reduces initial salt deposition on the filter membrane and improves subsequent washing efficiency. Removing this step might result in some NH4Cl remaining on the membrane during vacuum filtration, increasing the washing burden in step 3.3.3. Salt crystallization could also affect precipitation uniformity (especially during rapid drying). However, it can be further optimized by washing once with 5 mL of 50% ethanol.

[0055] 3. Washing and drying

[0056] The precipitate was gently washed with 2 mL of 0.1 M HNO3 to remove residual ammonia, followed by rinsing with 5 mL of ultrapure water. Finally, it was rinsed with 2 mL of anhydrous ethanol to accelerate drying. The filter membrane was then laid flat in a clean petri dish and allowed to air dry at room temperature, avoiding high temperatures to prevent the volatilization of the radionuclide. The drying time was 2 hours.

[0057] 4. Polycarbonate film encapsulation

[0058] Apply 1-2 μL of conductive adhesive to the edge of the first film using a micro-dispenser, avoiding covering the central deposition area. Align and cover with the second pretreated polycarbonate film, smooth side down. Gently press the edges with tweezers to ensure initial adhesion of the conductive adhesive. Place the laminated films between two hot presses. Temperature: 125°C (below the polycarbonate Tg of 147°C). Maintain pressure during cooling to room temperature to prevent delamination.

[0059] 5. Fix it onto the stainless steel substrate.

[0060] Wipe the stainless steel substrate with acetone to remove grease. Apply a small amount of conductive adhesive to the center area of ​​the substrate. Place the encapsulated polycarbonate film, deposited side up, onto the adhesive and gently press to remove air bubbles. Allow to air dry at room temperature for 10 minutes to ensure a firm bond. Inspect the edges under a magnifying glass to ensure a complete seal and check for any lifting or cracks. Wipe the radiation source with an alcohol swab to remove surface substances and allow to dry. Visual inspection: The surface is smooth and flat, and the polycarbonate film shows no peeling. Surface emissivity inspection: The radiation source was measured using a multi-wire proportional counter calibrated to the standard source of the national legal metrology department.

[0061] Experimental Example 1

[0062] In some embodiments provided by this utility model, the same α-instrument calibration source and method as in Embodiment 1 are used, and the results obtained after changing the following conditions by a single factor are as follows:

[0063] 1. pH value 241 Impact of Am load factor

[0064] The experimental procedure is to adjust the content of 241 The pH of the Am (approximately 5000 Bq) solution was adjusted by adding ammonia. After co-precipitation, the solution was filtered, and the activity of the filtrate was measured (using a high-purity germanium gamma spectrometer). The variables in the experiment were pH = 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0, while other conditions were kept constant: 1 mg Ce³⁺ carrier was used, and the solution was aged in an ice bath for 20 minutes. The loading rate was calculated as (initial activity - filtrate activity) / initial activity * 100%. The experimental results showed that the loading rate was highest at pH 8-9.

[0065] 2. Ce 3+ The effect of carrier dosage on loading rate

[0066] The experimental procedure is to introduce... 241Different amounts of Ce³⁺ were added to a solution of Am, and after co-precipitation, the mixture was filtered. The activity of the filtrate was measured (using a high-purity germanium gamma spectrometer), and the loading rate was calculated. The variable in the experiment was Ce. 3+ Carrier dosages of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mg were used, with a fixed pH of 8.5. Experimental results showed that 1–2 mg Ce... 3+ That would be the best.

[0067] 3. The effect of filtration pressure on source uniformity

[0068] The experimental procedure involved adjusting the filtration pressure to 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 bar under the same precipitation conditions to measure source uniformity. The test method and procedure are as follows: 1. Instrument preparation: A flow-type proportional counter was selected, with the working gas being (90% Ar + 10% CH4), and the flow rate controlled at 20~30 mL / min to ensure stable counting efficiency. High pressure was set (α mode: 1.2~1.5 kV; β mode: 1.8~2.2 kV). 2. Background test: The passive background was measured first, and the count on the display screen was observed. Multiple measurements were taken, and the readings were recorded after the values ​​stabilized. The measurements were repeated 3 times, and the average background value A0 was taken. 3. Source test: The source to be tested was placed in the instrument's measuring tray, with the radioactive source positioned in the center of the tray. The start button was pressed, and the count on the display screen was observed. Multiple measurements were taken, and the readings of the three sources to be tested were recorded after the values ​​stabilized, and the average value A1 was taken. Finally, the emissivity of the source was calculated as A1-A0. Experimental results show that the optimal pressure range is 0.2~0.3 bar, balancing efficiency and uniformity.

[0069] 4. The effect of hot pressing temperature on the film

[0070] The effects of different hot-pressing temperatures (100, 120, 130, 140°C) on sealing film were investigated. Experimental results showed that sealing film at 120~130°C was optimal.

[0077]

[0078] 2. Source uniformity test

[0079] The uniformity of a radioactive source characterizes its quality. This invention employs a self-made measuring device to measure the uniformity of a radioactive source. The device consists of a stainless steel base and a top cover. The top cover has a 30° opening and can rotate on the base. The base edge is marked with graduations. A piece of the prepared radioactive source is extracted, and its uniformity is measured. Counts are taken from 12 regions of the radioactive source, with each region measured three times and the average value calculated. The measurement time for each region is 60 seconds. Finally, the relative standard deviation of the counts from the 12 regions is calculated.
