In the current study, the bulk etch rate VBof solid state nuclear track detectors SSNTDs CR-39 have been examined at different concentrations of NaOH solution ranged from 4N to 8N and different temperatures of NaOH solution (50, 60, 70, 80°C) for various time intervals of etching (1-10 h); this is done by determination of mass variation via etching time. The results indicate that the bulk etch rate VBincreases with the increase of etchant solution concentration and the temperature of solution. This can be attributed to the increase the thickness of the removed layers h of the detector.

This study gives information about the effects of UV (here, the wavelength is 160 nm) exposure on the bulk etch rate ([Formula: see text], track etch rate ([Formula: see text], the detector sensitivity ([Formula: see text], critical angle ([Formula: see text] and etching efficiency ([Formula: see text] of Makrofol-E Solid State Nuclear Track Detector. The effect of UV on the activation energy of Makrofol-E was also studied. Nine pieces of Makrofol-E Solid State Nuclear Track Detector were separated into three equal sets as set A, set B and set C. Set A, named as reference set (Fission fragment FF), was irradiated to [Formula: see text]Cf source. Set B, called as post-exposed ([Formula: see text]), was first irradiated to [Formula: see text]Cf and then exposed to UV. The process was reversed for set C named as pre-exposed ([Formula: see text]) at the same conditions. From the results, it is concluded that radiation produces small but significant effect on activation energy [Formula: see text] of bulk etch rate for pre-exposed and post-exposed samples. Also, the activation energies [Formula: see text] of track etch rate for post-exposed and Fission fragment samples are within experimental uncertainty. The energy carried by UV radiation may be responsible for cross networking processes occurring during the exposure which results small change in activation energies for both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] can be increased by hardening detector material of the pre-exposed detector.

In this study, the fission track registration technique with the CR-39 detector are using to determination the uranium concentrations for seventeen samples of teeth distributed in four districts in Baghdad City .Five samples taken from both Al-Durra District and Al-Jadiriyia District, Four samples taken from Al-Karrda (Alaatar street) Taken four samples and three samples taken from Al-Zuafrania and by 0.5gm in weight and 1.5 mm in thickness. The uranium concentrations in teeth samples measured by using fission tracks registration in (CR-39) track detector that caused by the bombardment of (U) with thermal neutrons from (241 Am-Be) neutron source that has flux of (5 ×103 n cm-2 s-1). The concentrations values were calculated by a comparison with standard samples. The results showed that the maximum value of uranium is (0.071 ppm) equal to (0.686Bq) in Al-Zuafaraniya district and the minimum is (0.035 ppm) equal to (0.31Bq) in Al-Jadiriah district.
