5 results about "Polonium" patented technology

Polonium is a chemical element with the symbol Po and atomic number 84. A rare and highly radioactive metal with no stable isotopes, polonium is chemically similar to selenium and tellurium, though its metallic character resembles that of its horizontal neighbors in the periodic table: thallium, lead, and bismuth. Due to the short half-life of all its isotopes, its natural occurrence is limited to tiny traces of the fleeting polonium-210 (with a half-life of 138 days) in uranium ores, as it is the penultimate daughter of natural uranium-238. Though slightly longer-lived isotopes exist, they are much more difficult to produce. Today, polonium is usually produced in milligram quantities by the neutron irradiation of bismuth. Due to its intense radioactivity, which results in the radiolysis of chemical bonds and radioactive self-heating, its chemistry has mostly been investigated on the trace scale only.

A method for measuring the activity of radioactive polonium aerosol in a lead-bismuth reactor

This invention discloses a method for measuring the activity of radioactive polonium aerosol in a lead-bismuth reactor, belonging to the field of radioactive material measurement technology. 210 Po solution was used to prepare test samples with different activity ranges and different collection carriers, and the activity was measured using an energy dispersive spectrometer. A correlation between the measured activity and the theoretical activity was then established to calibrate the measured activity of actual samples. This invention employs the above-mentioned method for measuring the activity of radioactive polonium aerosol in a lead-bismuth reactor, by flexibly establishing a correlation between the measured activity and the theoretical activity within a certain activity range. 210 The linear correlation between the theoretical activity and the measured activity of the Po standard solution enables immediate measurement without disturbing the original sample, greatly ensuring the accuracy of the measurement. This is of great significance for timely and effective protection in lead-bismuth reactors. At the same time, this method can also be applied to other environments to quickly and accurately obtain the true activity of polonium-containing samples.

Po-210 protection device for high concentration scenarios and method of use thereof

This invention relates to the field of radiation protection technology, specifically to a Po-210 protection device for high-concentration scenarios and its usage method. The protection device includes a protective hood with a viewing window on one side. A protective filter box is fitted to the side of the hood with the viewing window, and a blower is fitted to the air inlet of the filter box. The filter box includes a filter housing, the inner cavity of which is filled with impregnated carbon. The impregnated carbon is a material prepared by polonium-specific adsorption metal impregnation treatment. When the protective hood is worn over the operator's head, it can treat the gas inhaled by the operator through the filter box, effectively filtering Po-210 in the gas space and actively supplying air to the protection device. This effectively avoids increased ventilation resistance caused by the filter material inside the filter box, ensuring smooth breathing for the operator. It can be used for the safety protection of operators in scenarios where there is a high concentration of Po-210 in the gas space during a leak in a fourth-generation advanced fast reactor pipeline. The usage method is based on the aforementioned protection device.
