The Third ASTM-Euratom Symposium on Reactor Dosimetry was held at the Ispra Establishment of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the Commission of the European Communities. It continued the series of biennial international symposia in the field of neutron metrology for materials irradiation studi...
This report describes all details of the comparison for the determination of 226Ra, 228Ra, 234U and 238U in mineral waters among 45 European laboratories monitoring radioactivity in food and the environment. Three commercially available mineral waters were provided as comparison samples. Referen...
This report describes all details of the homogeneity study for the radionuclides 226Ra, 228Ra, 234U and 238U in large batches (more than 700 bottles each) of four different, commercially available mineral waters. These samples are intended to be used in an intercomparison for European laboratori...
Loops, which have been observed in irradiated and annealed graphite by means of transmission electron-microscopy, are analyzed and found to be vacancy loops. The basal component of the Burgers vectors of the loops in small areas of the specimen are all in the same direction. The average diameter...
The European Communities are interested by several aspects of food irradiation including the establishment of recognised analytical methods to assess if a foodstuff has been treated or not by irradiation techniques. It is worthwhile recalling that in 1980 a Joint Expert Committee of FAO (Food & ...
