Specimens used in tests were sections of cables with PVC outer coating. PVC was plasticized with DOF softener. The materials considered were exposed to the radiation and thermal aging. The samples have been irradiated at room temperature by hard gamma rays with 10 rad/sec dose power. A number of samples had been heated for long different times at 90°C. Besides a special specimens were cut out from outer coating for test on tensile machine like "Instron". The total doses of irradiation, times of heating and elongations at break obtained with "Instron" are listed in Table 1. 

We use the X or gamma rays power penetrating to detect possible heterogeneities in inspected pieces. These rays are absorbed by the matter crossed, essentially by the photoelectrical effect, (fig. 02). 

A gamma-ray spectmm is produced nondispersively by pulse-height (multichannel) analysis using scintillation or semiconductor detectors. Resolving power, typically - 100 at 100 keV and - 700 at 2 MeV, is quite modest compared with that achievable in other spectral regions, but is sufficient to identify nucHdes unambiguously. 

Radiographic examination is either by x-rays or by gamma radiation. The former has greater penetrating power, but the latter is more portable. Few x-ray machines can penetrate beyond 300-mm (12 -in) thickness. 

Retrievable Tools. Retrievable MWD tools similar to the steering tools are available from several service companies. They are generally battery powered and generate coded positive pressure mud pulses or continuous pressure waves. The lower part of the tool has a mule shoe that engages in a sub for orientation. Currently, tools are available for measuring directional parameters and gamma rays. A typical retrievable tool is shown in Figure 4-251. 

Electromagnetic Telemetry. The electromagnetic telemetry is usually powered downhole with batteries. Parameters such as gamma ray, resistivity and temperature, can be transmitted while tripping up or down. Since a two-way communication is possible, the system can be switched to a logging only mode to transmit only the logging information. 

The nuclear reactor also must be shielded against the emission of radioactive material to the external environment. Suitable radiation controls include both thermal and biological shielding systems. Radiation from alpha particles (a rays) and beta particles ((3 rays) has little penetrating power, but gamma rays have deep penetration properties. Neutron radiation is, however, the primary area of risk. Typically, extremely thick concrete walls are used as a neutron absorber, but lead-lined concrete and special concretes are also used. 

The discretization error Cd for finite integration limits yi and y2 contains in addition to (D.8) two extra terms (under the sum) that contain incomplete Gamma functions. We don t need their explicit form for the estimation of the dominating part of the overall error. Of course, expanding these extra terms in powers of h would lead to the error estimation (A.4), that holds for extremely small h (and sufficiently small /) which is rather irrelevant in the present context. 

NRA is a powerful method of obtaining concentration versus depth profiles of labelled polymer chains in films up to several microns thick with a spatial resolution of down to a few nanometres. This involves the detection of gamma rays produced by irradiation by energetic ions to induce a resonant nuclear reaction at various depths in the sample. In order to avoid permanent radioactivity in the specimen, the energy of the projectile is maintained at a relatively low value. Due to the large coulomb barrier around heavy nuclei, only light nuclei may be easily identified (atomic mass < 30).
