A Yukawa-type potential was used to predict B for the current nuclides using a set of 23 nuclides as the source of the experimental values. The deviation between measurement and prediction was remarkably reduced by a special search on the average distance between nucleons. The best results were obtained for a 2-exponential model. The predictions of B inside and outside the range of A and Z used to do the fitting were carried out by fitting the obtained values of the average distance between nucl...

This article discusses the implications of the Ukrainian military conflict on the safety and security of Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). We have used some simplified models to calculate the boiling and boiling-off times of water in the spent fuel pools to estimate the impacts of complete shutdown of cooling systems and the probability of dangerous accidents in storage facilities. Our data confirm that this probability is not negligible, so, this factor of risk should be taken into consi...

The neutron depth profile analysis (NDP) technique can obtain the depth distribution information of 10B, 6Li, 7Be, 22Na and other light core elements near the surface without loss. It is widely used in the influence of Li on the performance of lithium batteries. When using NDP technology to measure lithium concentration in lithium batteries, the distribution of target nuclide concentration with sample surface depth can be obtained by measuring energy spectrum inversion. In this paper, the princ...
