... of the tag gas method. The mass spectrometer ionizes the sample into electrons and ions, and then separates the ions of different charge—mass ratio, and uncovers the sample nuclide components. The primary ionization energy of an inert gas atom decreases as the atomic number increases. In order to ionize Ne...

..., there is no consideration regarding the man-made extreme event of external explosion resulting from air bomb or cruise missile. A novel integrated blast resistance model (IBRM) of NPP's reinforced concrete (RC) auxiliary facilities due to an external above ground explosion based on two components is suggested. The first...
