Uranium-241 was synthesized in Japan AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 17.04.2023 The isotope of uranium-241 was synthesized in Japan at the RIKEN accelerator. This is stated in an article published in the Physical Review Letter journal. The isotope was synthesized in the multinucleon transfer reaction, which resulted from the bombardment of a target of platinum-198 with uranium-238 particles. It is interesting to note that the prospects of the 238U+198Pt reaction for the formation of neutron-rich nuclei were discussed, in particular, in an article by a group of Chinese researchers in the journal Physics Letters B, published in 2021. Japanese scientists have not yet been able to measure the half-life of uranium-241 nuclei. Theoretical calculations show that it will be about 40 minutes. There is no practical use for the uranium-241 isotope and, most likely, there will not be. The uranium-241 isotope was earlier entered into the LiveChart database maintained by the IAEA, as well as isotopes 242 and 243, but data on these isotopes is not provided in the database. Other news: The CARR reactor is open to foreign customers CARR has received more than 40 applications from abroad. 422 nuclear units are operating in the world, 56 units are under construction Kuosheng-2 was permanently shutdown. Decision to terminate contract for construction of Hanhikivi-1 NPP unlawful Dispute Review Board confirmed that Fennovoima Oy had unlawfully terminated the EPC contract for the construction of Hanhikivi-1 NPP. |
Hero of the day 
Unit 2 of Belarus NPP has reached minimum controllable power level On March 25, the reactor of Power Unit 2 of Belarus NPP (general designer and general contractor is Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division) was brought to minimum controllable power level. At 19:42 (Moscow time), the neutron flux was registered for the first time, and controlled self-sustained nuclear reactor began. INTERVIEW
