Description

In this project irradiated heavy concrete was characterized regarding hard to measure nuclides like Ca-41 using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). Concrete samples were irradiated with a known neutron flux and the Ca-41 content was investigated via AMS measurements. The comparison of the results with calculations shows a very good agreement in the Ca-41 content. The project revealed that AMS can be used to characterize irradiated concrete and contributes to improve the methodological basis of the radiological characterization and to extending the validation of nuclide vectors.
