TL;DR: In this article, a 3.6 MeV proton irradiation of annealed Zr-2.5Nb was performed to determine whether proton-irradiation will enhance the precipitation of Nb-rich β-phase precipitates within the α-grains.

TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural factors responsible for tube-to-tube variability in fracture toughness were identified and further evidence was presented which demonstrates that the variation in toughness for specimens fractured on the radial-axial plane is related to decohesion or fissuring on the transverse axial plane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors modified the steady-state model of delayed hydride cracking to take account of a temperature gradient in the material and predicted an increase in the crack velocity in a positive temperature gradient (crack-tip cooler than surroundings) and a reduction in a negative temperature gradient.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recent advances by an international team of five countries (Canada, US, China, Slovenia and Romania) on the development and scale-up of the copper-chlorine (Cu Cl) cycle for thermochemical hydrogen production using nuclear or solar energy.

TL;DR: Annual intercomparisons are necessary to maintain a network of laboratories for emergency response biodosimetry as they evoke confidence in their capabilities.
Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the importance of annual intercomparisons for maintaining the capacity and capabilities of a well-established biodosimetry network in conjunction with assessing efficient and effective analysis methods for emergency response.
Materials and methods: Annual intercomparisons were conducted between laboratories in the Canadian National Biological Dosimetry Response Plan. Intercomparisons were performed over a six-year period and comprised of the shipment of 10–12 irradiated, blinded blood samples for analysis by each of the participating laboratories. Dose estimates were determined by each laboratory using the dicentric chromosome assay (conventional and QuickScan scoring) and where possible the cytokinesis block micronucleus (CBMN) assay. Dose estimates were returned to the lead laboratory for evaluation and comparison.
Results: Individual laboratories performed comparably from year to year with only slight fluctuations in performance. Dose estimates using the dicentric chromosome assay were accurate about 80% of the time and the QuickScan method for scoring the dicentric chromosome assay was proven to reduce the time of analysis without having a significant effect on the dose estimates. Although analysis with the CBMN assay was comparable to QuickScan scoring with respect to speed, the accuracy of the dose estimates was greatly reduced.
Conclusions: Annual intercomparisons are necessary to maintain a network of laboratories for emergency response biodosimetry as they evoke confidence in their capabilities.
