Abstract

Detailed level schemes, decay schemes, and the experimental data on which they are based are presented for all nuclei with mass number A = 228. The experimental data are evaluated; inconsistencies and discrepancies are noted; and adopted values for level and γ-ray energies, γ intensities, as well as for other nuclear properties are given.

  • The correlation of quadrupole transition rates of deformed nuclei by non-parametric approach

    Citation Excerpt :

    The electromagnetic transition rates are the observables that are sensitive to the wavefunctions and nuclear structure. In this study, we tried to consider the correlation of these quantities independent of a special model and therefore, focused on all available experimental data [30–80]. These transition rates are pure E2-type and we don't consider some transitions which have mixing ratios with dipole magnetic (M1) and hexadecapole electric (E4) transitions.

  • Sulfate precipitation in produced water from Marcellus Shale for the control of naturally occurring radioactive material

    2020, Water Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    Black shale, the most dominant component of Marcellus Shale formation, is rich with uranium and thorium, which makes it a significant source of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) that is usually found in produced water (Rowan et al., 2011). The major components of NORM in produced water are Ra-226 (half-life of 1600 years) and Ra-228 (half-life of 5.75 years), which are daughter isotopes of U-238 and Th-232, respectively (Akovali, 1996; Artna-Cohen, 1997). Multiple gas well analyses showed that the total radium concentration (i.e., Ra-226 and Ra-228) in Marcellus Shale produced water in Pennsylvania can range from 33 to 18,045 pCi/L, while it can be as high as 16,942 pCi/L in Marcellus Shale produced water in New York (Rowan et al., 2011).
