1. Resurgence of a Nation's Radiation Science Driven by Its Nuclear Industry Needs.

Author

Leay, Laura, Baidak, Aliaksandr, Anderson, Christopher, Chan, Choen May, Daubney, Aaron, Donoclift, Thomas, Draper, Gemma, Edge, Ruth, Hobbs, Jeff, Jones, Luke, Mason, Nicholas J. S., Messer, Darryl, O'Leary, Mel, Orr, Robin, Pimblott, Simon M., de Moraes Shubeita, Samir, Smith, Andrew D., Steele, Helen, Wady, Paul, and Currell, Frederick

Abstract

This article describes the radiation facilities and associated sample preparation, management, and analysis equipment currently in place at the Dalton Cumbrian Facility, a facility which opened in 2011 to support the UK's nuclear industry. Examples of measurements performed using these facilities are presented to illustrate their versatility and the breadth of research they make possible. Results are presented from research which furthers our understanding of radiation damage to polymeric materials, radiolytic yield of gaseous products in situations relevant to nuclear materials, radiation chemistry in light water reactor cooling systems, material chemistry relevant to immobilization of nuclear waste, and radiation-induced corrosion of fuel cladding elements. Applications of radiation chemistry relevant to health care are also described. Research concerning the mechanisms of radioprotection by dietary carotenoids is reported. An ongoing open-labware project to develop a suite of modular sample handling components suited to radiation research is described, as is the development of a new neutron source able to provide directional beams of neutrons.
