A Nuclear Physics funded project to investigate the transcurium isotope production processes as well as the feasibility of increasing their production relative to the consumption of the curium feed material was recently completed.  This research project indicated that incorporating certain “filter materials” to perturb the flux spectrum in the High Flux Isotope Reactor in the area local to the transcurium production target may be a way to increase the number of transmutation reactions (as opposed to fission reactions) per absorbed neutron.  Neutron filters generally consist of isotope(s) that preferentially absorb neutrons over a certain energy range.  The neutron filters examined as part of this project included primarily lanthanide and heavier transition metals.  By perturbing the flux spectrum in this manner the rate of feedstock loss due to fission can be reduced, and the overall production of transcurium isotopes per unit of feedstock consumed may be increased.  <p></p><b>Major Duties/Responsibilities:</b><br>This work will be part of an Office of Science funded project to collect experimental data to be used as part of the validation of the previously conducted modeling and simulation.  This project will conduct irradiation and separations experiments to evaluate the effects of various neutron filtering materials and the filters’ effects on the transmutation reaction rate for transcurium isotope production.  The experiments will evaluate target preparation methodologies, irradiation schemes, chemical separations techniques, and transmutation reaction rates.  The successful candidate will be responsible for determining separations and counting schemes in order to assess the results of the irradiations.  The application of quantitative chemical separations of the irradiated samples is required to obtain the data necessary for validation of transmutation models.<p></p><b>Qualifications Required:</b><br>The candidate for this postdoctoral position must have a PhD in chemistry, radiochemistry, nuclear, or chemical engineering with demonstrated experience in the handling of radioactive materials and separations chemistry specific to actinide/lanthanide separations.

Additional Information:
Since the 1950s, the Dosimetry Research Program has provided the national and international scientific communities with anatomic, biokinetic, and dosimetric models and data required to estimate doses from internal or external exposure to radionuclides.  This information has been used to develop and support occupational and environmental radiation standards, health effects studies, and diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures.  The models developed in the Program generally have become international standards.  The Program has traditionally served as a center for archival and computer implementation of biokinetic and dosimetric models. Historically, DOE, EPA, NRC, and other Federal agencies have come to the ORNL Dosimetry Research Program for technical support for development of regulations and guidance documents for radiation protection.  Members of the Program have served on numerous committees of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), US National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), and other national and international radiation protection bodies. The Program has produced or been a major contributor to many ICRP and NCRP reports including reports on limits on occupational intake of radionuclides, age-specific dose coefficients for members of the public, compilations of nuclear decay data, anatomical and physiological characteristics of reference workers or members of the public, and management of persons contaminated with radionuclides.
