Nuclear Data Sheets for A=155

This work represents an update of the previous evaluation of the nuclear data on the A=155 nuclides (2005Re01). The experimental data from reaction and decay studies leading to the following nuclides have been reviewed: {sup 155}La, {sup 155}Ce, {sup 155}Pr, {sup 155}Nd, {sup 155}Pm, {sup 155}Sm, {sup 155}Eu, {sup 155}Gd, {sup 155}Tb, {sup 155}Dy, {sup 155}Ho, {sup 155}Er, {sup 155}Tm, {sup 155}Yb, {sup 155}Lu, {sup 155}Hf, and {sup 155}Ta. These data are presented, together with the adopted level schemes and their properties.

Key properties of mixed cerium and zirconium microspheres prepared by the internal gelation process with previously boiled HMTA and urea

The internal gelation process using previously boiled hexamethylenetetramine-urea was used in exploratory study to produce CeO 2 –ZrO 2 microspheres, which can serve as a simulant for ceramic transuranic fuel particles and as a viable three-way catalyst. The calcined CeO 2 and ZrO 2 microspheres with Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) pore size and volumes of 8–10 nm and 0.19–0.20 mL/g, respectively, had many more surface cracks than their relatively smooth CeO 2 –ZrO 2 counterparts even though the BJH pore sizes and volumes of mixed oxide spheres were lower at 3 nm and 0.11–0.12 mL/g, respectively. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas for the CeO 2 and ZrO 2 microspheres were 74 and 93 m2/g, respectively, and the BET surface areas for the mixed oxides were much greater at 155–158 m 2 /g, which should improve catalytic performance. Overall, the catalytic activity of each microsphere composition was confirmed through the oxidation of carbon monoxide.
