摘要
裂变产物活度比可确定核事件的零时。本文系统研究了通过测量~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb活度比计算核事件零时的方法。研究表明,~(95)Nb~m分支对零时计算影响较小,~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb活度比可准确计算核事件零时。在零时后100 d内测量样品,零时计算结果与参考值在1 d内符合;零时后1 a内测量样品,计算的零时与参考值相差小于10 d。零时不确定度随样品开测时刻至零时的时间间隔的增加迅速增加,不确定度区间是不对称的,不确定度正值大于不确定度负值,当~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb接近平衡时,零时的不确定度正值趋向于无穷大。
Zero-time of nuclear events can be determined by activity ratio of fission products. The calculation method of zero-time of nuclear events was investigated by measuring ~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb activity ratio. The study results show that the zero-time can be determined accurately by ~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb activity ratio. In addition, the influence of the ~(95)Nb~m decay branch can be ignored. The deviations of zero-time between the result determined by ~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb activity ratio and reference value are less than 1 d and 10 d for decay of 100 d and 1 a from zero-time respectively. The uncertainty of zero-time increases rapidly as the increasing of interval time between measurement start time and zero-time. The uncertainty interval is asymmetric and the positive uncertainty is larger than negative uncertainty. The positive uncertainty approaches infinity when the ~(95)Zr-~(95)Nb equilibrium is reached.
