Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles of Fe3O4 was synthesized in this research by using ex-situ copresipitation method followed by surface modification with crosslinked chitosan along with trypolyphospate (TPP) and sulfate crosslinking agents. The Fe3O4 materials were formed from FeCl2.H2O and FeCl3.6H2O with 1:2 ratio under alkaline condition. Surface modification processes were conducted by mixing chitosan solution with purified Fe3O4 yielding a ferrogel solution as a product. Here, the crosslinker agents, TPP and sulfate, were added to the mixture to make a crosslinking compounds. In these processes, the chitosan-Fe3O4 crystallite size were affected by composition ratio and crosslinking time which will be proven by using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and modified Debye-Scherrer methods. The results showed that, on highest ratios between chitosan and Fe3O4 as well as TPP/sulfate crosslinker, gave the smallest size of crystallite of chitosan-Fe3O4. Furthermore, the more time of crosslinking process caused crystallite size of chitosan-Fe3O4 became much smaller.

Abstract

Linac operated at energies above 8 MV can result in photoneutron emissions arising from the interaction between high-energy photons striking the constituent materials such as collimator, the target and the scattering foil. This secondary radiation may increase the risk of secondary cancers and additional radiation dose received in addition to dose of photons. This study estimates the dose out of the field around cervix cancer in the form of an effective dose of neutron and photon. Measurements were carried out using termoluminescence (TLD) detector pairs, TLD 600 and TLD TLD 700. Neutron dose distribution was determined by placing the TLD pairs at 8 points scattered in the phantom.. Linac irradiations at a dose of 2 Gy were conducted three times that produced effective dose neutron range from 0.3 mSv to 4.8 mSv. While the effective dose photon as read by the TLDs range from 42.9 to 920.1 mSv.The effective dose of neutron and photon received were less for points located further away from the point of isocentre.

Abstract

Neutron spectra at Linear Acceleration (LINAC) facility was needed to protect neutron radiation. The purpose of determination of neutron spectra at LINAC using Passive Single Sphere Spectrometer is getting spectra and neutron fluence from LINAC and knowing the influence of input voltage at LINAC to its spectra and neutron fluence output. Single Sphere Spectrometer (SSS) with diameters 30 cm using seven gold foil detectors was set in position a half of diameter (0, 3, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13 cm) from center of the SSS. Measurement of neutron count rate was performed by placing SSS under gantry of LINAC with SSD 100 cm in distances. Next, neutron count rate was used as input data in UMG 3.3 program to get spectra. Based on measurement, total of neutron fluence at LINAC 10 MV and 15 MV is 5,78 ´ 104 n/cm2.s ± 0,01 ´ 104and 9,44 ´ 105 n/cm2.s ± 0,22 ´ 105, so increasing input voltage at LINAC was followed by increased neutron fluence.

Abstract

Radiation workers are compulsory to monitoring radiation dose for reduce the effects of ionizing radiation on the body. Government through similar BAPETEN maximum dose for radiation workers is 20 mSv/year. One of the personal monitoring tool that is widely used is the TLD-700 (specially for gamma radiation). The equivalent dose to the workers body to a depth of 10mm (Hp(10)) able to be predicted from a simulation approach MCNPX. To simulation needed input model of geometry which adapted to the geometry experiments. The simulation results at the source position vertical to the dose rate is obtained 8,565mSv/h, which shows a difference of 1.5% on the results of the experiment, so the Hp(10) dose can be determined. This experiment able to simulated for contamination source 137Cs on the floor position unable to be done experimentely contamination source. Estimation through simulation, the dose rate on the floor at 14.920 mSv/h. The results showed the difference of dose rate through dose rate 75% vertical source larger than the vertical direction. According to the result need to be calibration TLD-700 for the source position from the bottom. Because the greater the dose rate (from below), the greater the Hp(10) dose is received. With the result clear that considerable potential MCNPX used to estimate personal Hp(10) dose for radiation workers, specially in relation to the case of a radiation accident.

Abstract

The intensity of solar radiation provides information of amount energi that is transferred by the sun in a unit time. The information is used in many sectors for designing and assembling systems with solar energi sources. The measurement of the intensity of solar radiation directly requires a complex set of tools and procedures. This study aims to provide an estimate of instantaneous solar radiation by using energi conversion methods. The working principle of the method used is to capture the flux of solar radiation with a piece of black copper plates and then extract the energi into the water medium through direct contact of the water-copper plates. The increase of fluid temperatur is measured as a function of the time duration of radiation exposure. The radiation intensity value is obtained from derivation of the gradient value of the increasing temperatur. The results show that the energi conversion method gives the radiation intensity value matching the radiation intensity value based on the calculation of astronomical formulation. In the location of the experiment, at noon, the energi conversion method gives an instantaneous solar radiation intensity of 1149, 63 W/m2 with a difference of 0.59% with the calculation result of the astronomical formula.
