- A laboratory for measuring low-level radioactivity has been built at the AlbaNova University Center in Stockholm. Low-level concrete in combination with a 5 cm iron lining provide an average photon fluency rate from terrestrial sources at least a factor of 40 below that in the common laboratories of the Center. The radon activity inside the laboratory has been measured to (3 +/- 2) Bq m(-3). Material considerations are discussed. Construction and performance of the laboratory, as well as the present instrumentation, is described.

Automated, high-resolution cellular retention and uptake studies in vitro
- 2006
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This report describes an automated method for the measurements of cellular retention and uptake of radiolabeled proteins interacting with cell-surface receptors on intact cancer cells. A complete uptake and retention measurement was performed in one cell dish using a rotating radioimmunoassay (RIA) principle. Compared to common manual measurements, rotating RIA saved both labor time and reagents and provided real-time binding traces with superior time-resolution. The rotating RIA retention profiles for different interactions agreed with retention times reported in the literature.

Measuring the affinity of a radioligand with its receptor using a rotating cell dish with in situ reference area
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This report describes a semi-automated method for the measurement of affinity of radiolabeled ligands interacting with cell-surface receptors on intact cancer cells. The method saves labor time and reagents compared to common manual measurements. A complete affinity measurement can be performed in one cell dish by using a target cell area and a reference area and repeatedly measure the differential activity (i.e. target activity-reference activity). The affinities obtained for different ligand-receptor interactions agreed with affinities reported in the literature.

Formates and dithionates : sensitive EPR-dosimeter materials for radiation therapy
- 2005

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Polycrystalline, formates and dithionates are promising materials for EPR dosimetry, as large yields of radiation induced stable radicals are formed with a linear dose response. Rapid spin relaxation rates were detected in many of the substances, indicating that a high microwave power can be applied during EPR acquisition in order to improve sensitivity. Different techniques used to further improve the sensitivity, such as the replacement of Li-7 with Li-6 or exchange of protons with deuterons in the corresponding crystalline matrices and metal ion doping are discussed. It is concluded that formates and dithionates may be up to 10 times as sensitive as L-alpha-alanine. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

On-site Gamma-ray Spectroscopic Measurements of Fission Gas Release in Irradiated Nuclear Fuel
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Applied Radiation and Isotopes. - : Elsevier BV. - 0969-8043 .- 1872-9800. ; 65:1, s. 36-45

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An experimental, non-destructive in-pool, method for measuring fission gas release (FGR) in irradiated nuclear fuel has been developed. Using the method, a significant number of experiments have been performed in-pool at several nuclear power plants of the BWR type. The method utilises the 514 keV gamma-radiation from the gaseous fission product Kr-85 captured in the fuel rod plenum volume. A submergible measuring device (LOKET) consisting of an HPGe-detector and a collimator system was utilised allowing for single rod measurements on virtually all types of BWR fuel. A FGR database covering a wide range of burn-ups (up to average rod burn-up well above 60 MWd/kgU), irradiation history, fuel rod position in cross section and fuel designs has been compiled and used for computer code benchmarking, fuel performance analysis and feedback to reactor operators. Measurements clearly indicate the low FGR in more modern fuel designs in comparison to older fuel types.

Measurement of 14 MeV neutron-induced prompt gamma-ray spectra from 15 elements found in cargo containers
- 2008
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within the EURopean Illicit TRAfficking Countermeasures Kit (EURITRACK) project, the gamma-ray spectra produced in a series of materials by 14-MeV tagged-neutron beams have been collected in the inspection portal equipped with large volume Nal(Tl) detectors, in order to build a database of signatures for various elements: C, N, O, Na, Al, Si, Cl, K, Ca, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb. The measured spectra have been compared with prediction from Monte Carlo simulations to verify the consistency of the relevant nuclear data inputs. This library of measured 14-MeV neutron-induced gamma-ray spectra is currently used in a data processing algorithm to unfold the energy spectra of the transported goods into elementary contributions, thus allowing material identification.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new Certified Reference Material (CRM) for radionuclides in sediment (IAEA-385) is described and the results of the certification process are presented. Eleven radionuclides (K-40, Cs-137, Ra-226, Ra-228, Th-230, Th-232, U-234, U-238, Pu-238, Pu239+240 and Am-241) have been certified and information mass activities with 95% confidence intervals are given for seven other radionuclides (Sr-90, Pb-210(Po-210), U-235, Pu-239, Pu-240 and Pu-241). Results for less frequently reported radionuclides (Co-60, Tc-99, Cs-134, Eu-155, Ra-224 and Np-239) and information on some activity and mass ratios are also reported. The CRM can be used for quality assurance/quality control of the analysis of radionuclides in sediment samples, for the development and validation of analytical methods and for training purposes.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A certified reference material (CRM) for radionuclides in fish sample IAEA-414 (mixed fish from the Irish Sea and North Seas) is described and the results of the certification process are presented. Nine radionuclides (K-40, Cs-137, Th-232, U-234, U-235, U-238, Pu-238, Pu239+240 and Am-241) were certified for this material. Information on massic activities with 95% confidence intervals is given for six other radionuclides (Sr-90, Pb-210(Po-210), Ra-226, Pu-239, Pu-240 Pu-241). Less frequently reported radionuclides (Tc-99, I-129, Th-228, Th-230 and Np-217) and information on some activity and mass ratios are also included. The CRM can be used for quality assurance/quality control of the analysis of radionuclides in fish sample, for the development and validation of analytical methods and for training purposes. The material is available from IAEA, Vienna, in 100 g units.
