Learning Goals
Theory
Experimental Procedure
Part 1: Producing 90Mo in a (alpha, 4n) reaction
- Welcome to the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory.
- Target setup and gas-jet transfer system.
- Catching 90Mo on a filter in the chem.lab.
- Analysing the gamma spectrum
Part 2: Liquid-liquid extraction of Mo
- Preparing liquids and equipment.
- Extraction curve as function TOA concentration.
- Perform extractions with 90Mo tracer
- Plot extraction data and analyse curve
Part 3: Clean up
- Clean all equipment and collect rad. waste in designated bottles.
- Prepare all waste for collection/disposal.
- Check workspace for contamination.
Safety
Your training do not authorise you for SA-02 (OCL experiment hall) or SA-03 (OCL chemistry lab). Thus, you need to be supervised at all times. Do not wander off on your own.
- OCL has a hand&feet monitor, use this regularerly to check for contamination and always before you leave the lab.
- The organic phase used for the LLE is highly flamable and carciogenic. Take proper care to avoid spills and evaporation from your beakers etc. Never clean your equipment in the sink if there is any organic residues left - it will quickly smell very bad.
- Make sure you know how to trigger the automatic fire-fighting system and that you know how to use the emergency shower and eye wash.
- In case of a major accident with e.g. a bottle containing the organic solution immediately evacuta the area. There is gas-mask availble for the subsequent clean-up, but the clean-up should only be started after consulting with your supervisor.
- In the cyclotron vault there will be an intense radiation field also after the particle beam has been switched off (~10-50 mSv/h close to the target chamber). You are not allowed to enter the vault unless escorted.
- The amount of radiation in the chemistry lab will be very small, but be aware of aerosols from the gas-jet and filter catch arrangement. Never operate this equipment on your own, but consult with your supervisor.
