AbstractAbstract
[en] Some aspects of petroleum formation and the world distribution of fossil fuels deposits were recent clarified. However, the source of energy associated with petroleum genesis is still largely debatable. Evidence accumulated over the years allows to demonstrate the energetic feasibility of a modern version of the old alpha radiation theory of petroleum origin. This theory is reviewed and examined critically under new light to be reformulated by taking advantage of relevant interdisciplinary data mostly not available when the old alpha radiation theory was suggested, developed and then discredited. The geological ages accepted for the formation of most of the known petroleum reserves are within a range that makes long-lived natural alpha emitters a feasible energy source for at least part of the energy necessary for the formation of petroleum hydrocarbon.

Recentemente foram explicados alguns aspectos associados a formacao de petroleo e a distribuicao mundial de combustiveis fosseis. Entretanto, e ainda assunto para debate a fonte de energia associada a geracao de petroleo. Demonstra-se a viabilidade energetica de uma versao moderna da antiga teoria de radiacao alfa para a origem do petroleo, tendo como base evidencias acumuladas atraves dos anos. Esta antiga teoria e revisada e examinada criticamente sob nova visao a fim de ser reformulada, usando-se dados interdisciplinares na maioria nao existentes quando a antiga teoria da radiacao alfa para a origem do petroleo foi sugerida, desenvolvida e por fim desacreditada. As idades geologicas aceitas para a formacao da maior parte das reservas de petroleo conhecidas estao dentro de uma faixa de tempo que faz dos emissores de radiacao alfa natural de meia vida longa uma fonte de energia viavel pelo menos para parte da energia necessaria a formacao de hidrocarbonetos de petroleo.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Some of the new concepts introduced by ICRP 26 seem to be difficult to apply to the case of dose limits concerning the 226Ra releases from the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle. Accordingly most national legislations have not been permeated yet by the 226Ra dose limits based on such concepts. This work calls the attention on the one hand that a loose concept of acceptable risk is implicitly used in a dose limitation system for 226Ra when such system is based on calculating the dose as a fraction of the (MPC) sub(w) introduced earlier by the ICRP 2, and on the other hand that the ALI currently recommended by the ICRP 30 should be used only in the framework of the recommendations published in the ICRP 26, which adopts a better defined concept of risk.

Alguns dos conceitos novos introduzidos pelo ICRP26 parecem de dificil aplicacao para o caso de doses limites no que concerne as liberacoes de 226Ra proveniente das fases iniciais do ciclo de combustivel nuclear. Assim sendo, a maioria das legislacoes nacionais ainda nao foram permeadas pelas doses limites para 226Ra baseadas em tais conceitos. Este trabalho chama a atencao para o fato de que, por um lado, o conceito mal definido de risco aceitavel esta implicito no sistema de limitacao de dose para 226Ra quando tal sistema e baseado em calculos de dose como uma fracao do (MPC) sub(w) introduzido no ICRP2. Por outro lado, tambem chama a atencao para o fato de que o ALI recomendado presentemente pelo ICRP30 deve ser usado apenas dentro da infraestrutura de recomendadoes publicada no ICRP26, que adota um conceito de risco melhor definido.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A method for the calculation of upper limit internal alpha dose rates to aquatic organisms is presented. The mean alpha energies per disintegration of radionuclides of interest are listed to be used in standard methodologies to calculate dose to aquatic biota. As an application, the upper limits for the alpha dose rates from 239Pu to the total body of plankton are estimated based on data available in open literature

As energias medias das particulas alfa por desintegracao sao arroladas para radionuclideos de interesse para serem usadas para calculo de dose para a biota aquatica em metodologia convencional. Como uma aplicacao, estimam-se os limites superiores para as taxas de dose para o corpo inteiro de plancton, devido a desintegracao alfa de 239Pu, com base em dados disponiveis na literaturaPrimary Subject

AbstractAbstract
[en] Concentration of Ra224 e Rn220 was measured in 'Morro do Ferro', a region of high natural radioactivity in Brazil. Plants, soils and animals (rodents, scorpions) were taken as samples and radioactive concentrations were found up to 500.000 times the levels of natural occurrences. Histological examinations in rats revealed no abnormalities

AbstractAbstract
[en] The technique of self-calibration, based on internal labelling of target samples with known amounts of a given element, is often used in conventional PIXE analysis of environmental and biological samples, usually when a large number of samples is to be analyzed. However, extreme care should be exercised when attempting to use self-calibration procedures for microPIXE analysis, because the microdistribution of the labelling element in a drop of solution, for example, is usually nonuniform and particle microbeams with a homogeneous profile are difficult to obtain. This paper presents the results of a series of scanning irradiations by a 20 μm proton beam across dried solution drops containing known initial concentrations of thorium which had been deposited onto two different backings. Nonuniform distribution of thorium within the dried drops was observed

AbstractAbstract
[en] The accuracy of the quantitative analysis of thick targets by XRF is impaired by effects due to the absorption of x-rays in the matrix associated with the non-uniformity of the x-ray beam and the lack of knowledge of the actual distribution of trace elements in the target. The uncertainty in the elemental mass associated to a definite number x-rays detected is discussed in the paper. A correction factor is derived to account specifically for the effect of the absorption of x-rays and the non-uniformity of the x-ray beam. (Author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The PIXE method was applied to the analysis of trace elements in scalp hair using two methods for target preparation. In the first method eigth hair strands each with nearly cylindrical geommetry and approximately the same diameter were selected and placed on an aluminum frame. In the second method a given mass of hair was dissolved with nitric acid and a known amount of strontium was added to the solution and dripped on a membrane filter using a micropipet. The results for the concentrations of trace elements in hair obtained by the two methods are compared and several aspects of the analysis is discussed. (Author)

O metodo PIXE foi aplicado a analise de elementos tracos em cabelo utilizando-se duas tecnicas diferentes para a preparacao do alvo. A primeira tecnica consiste na escolha de oito fios de cabelo, cada um com geometria cilindrica e aproximadamente o mesmo diametro, que sao colocados numa estrutura de aluminio. A segunda tecnica consiste na dissolucao de uma dada massa de cabelo em oxido nitrico, na marcacao da solucao resultante com uma quantidade conhecida de estroncio e deposicao posterior sobre filtro de membrana utilizando-se uma micropipeta. Os resultados obtidos para as concentracoes de elementos tracos atraves do uso das duas tecnicas sao comparados e os diversos aspectos da analise sao discutidos. (Autor)Primary Subject
