1 SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF NEUTRON FLUX IN GEOLOGICAL LARGER SAMPLE ANALYSIS AT CDTN/CNEN, BRAZIL 1 Maria Ângela de B. C. Menezes 2 Radojko Jaćimović 3 Cláubia Pereira 1 Nuclear Technology Development Center/Brazilian Commission for Nuclear Energy (CDTN/CNEN), Belo Horizonte, Brazil 2 Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI), Ljubljana, Slovenia 3 Federal University of Minas Gerais, Department of Nuclear Engineering, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
2 Geometrical point-source sample: Larger sample: more several simplifications disregard the representative, analysis takes neutron self-shielding, neutron-flux less time, can reach lower gradients and self-attenuation of gamma detection limit, analysis rays considered negligible sensitivity and quality can be increased and cost decreased, way to compensate for low flux of neutrons and for non-homogeneity ~ 5g 0.2 g 25 times higher than the routine size!
3
4 Larger sample Three parameters were considered: i) detector efficiency over the volume source, ii) gamma ray attenuation within the sample during counting and iii) neutron self-shielding and neutron flux gradients during irradiation Objective: to show how was the evaluation of the contribution of the spatial neutron flux gradients to the final elemental concentration results during the establishment of the larger sample methodology
5 Importance to experimentally evaluate these factors: - is to make a real evaluation of the neutron interaction through a sample during irradiation - to know the neutron flux distribution - it should be specific for each kind of matrix, once the composition of the sample is not completely known This establishment: geological matrix à the most used matrix in routine elemental analysis biological matrix à comparison
6 Experimental Two experiments iron wires (99.9% Fe from Mallinckrodt, USA) 0.4 mm in diameter and 5 cm in length
7 Experimental The characterization of neutron flux gradients (axial and radial) based on the specific activities of 59 Fe and 54 Mn 59 Fe (thermal neutrons) 58 Fe(n t, ) 59 Fe, d half-live, kev and kev 54 Mn (fast neutrons) 54 Fe(n f,p) 54 Mn, d half-live, kev
8 NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS TRIGA MARK I IPR-R1 reactor at CDTN/CNEN carrousel facility: IC-7 and IC-6, f and (22.32 and , respectively) Thermal neutron flux n cm -2 s -1
9 Each wire à cut into five 1 cm sections and submitted to gamma spectrometry on an HPGe detector, 50% relative efficiency Peak area evaluation: HyperLab 2009 program Activity calculation: KayWin v.2.42, 2011
10 Experiment 1: in a polyethylene vial filled with clay and air Five iron wires were placed in the vial: - one in the centre and - four near the wall Clay Air 2 cm high 3 cm high Experiment 2: filled with plant wire was inserted in the middle Plant 5 cm high

15 Spa0al distribu0ons in a 5g- geological sample were about: 2%/cm for radial and axial gradients for thermal neutrons and 5%/cm for radial and 2.5%/cm for axial gradients for fast neutrons In biological sample, the thermal neutrons axial gradient was about 2.5%/cm and about 5%/cm for fast neutrons Is the total contribution of neutron flux gradients, significant?!
16 Verify whether gradients were significant in the final concentration values IAEA-SOIL-7 analysed as small sample (0.2 g) and larger sample (5 g) applying the k 0 -method Statistical evaluation : Relative Bias and E n -number Relative Bias informs the distance of the experimental results from the assigned values for IAEA-SOIL-7 RB Value Lab Value Value Assigned Assigned 100% Small sample presented 72.2% of results with deviation from the recommended values, lower than 10% Larger sample, 88.9%
17 E Experimental n Statistical Evaluations E n -number: - evaluates the performance of the procedure applied - takes into account the expanded uncertainty of experimental and certified values with a 95 % confidence interval Value U Experimental 2 Experimental Lab_Comb Value U 2 Assigned U 2 U k=2 Assigned Evaluation of the performance: satisfactory: En 1 unsatisfactory En > 1 Sta0s0cal methods for use in proficiency tes0ng by interlaboratory comparisons, ISO 13528:2005

20 Conclusions IAEA-SOIL-7: analysed by k 0 -method as small and larger samples Statistical evaluation pointed out all results were in good agreement with the assigned values Although there are neutron flux gradients in 5g-sample, the contribution may be negligible for larger sample or, at least, within the uncertainty range It is not necessary to apply correction factors Acknowledgments IAEA, FAPEMIG, Slovenian Research Agency
