The article describes research on the development of a method for doses retrospective determination of gamma-neutron irradiation with separation into components has basing on thermostimulated luminescence of quartz. Confirmation of the hypothesis about the different course of dose responses from neutron radiation and gamma radiation under different conditions of building ceramics quartz’s thermal activation is given. The possibility of separation of luminescent signals in quartz caused by gamma radiation or neutron radiation is shown.

A new nuclear–physical method and scheme of a device for logging gas and oil wells with the simultaneous determination of the density and porosity of the rocks behind the well are substantiated. Density and porosity are determined by one device. The pulsed neutron irradiation of the medium behind the well was used. Density and porosity are determined by gamma radiation from inelastic scattering and radiation capture of rock–forming elements by two spaced apart gamma spectrometric detectors.

Lubricants and O-rings are necessarily used for the construction of many accelerator-driven facilities as spallation sources or facilities for the production of radioactive isotopes. During operation, such component will absorb high doses of mixed neutron and gamma radiation, that can degrade their mechanical and structural properties. Experimental radiation damage tests of these components are mandatory for the construction of the facility. Methodologies for irradiation in nuclear reactor mixed fields and post-irradiation examination of lubricating oils, greases and O-rings were developed and are here presented. Samples were characterized with standard mechanical and physical-chemical tests. Parametric studies on the dose rate effects have been performed on O-rings. A case studies for a specific O-ring application in a gate valve has been developed. Some of the tested samples showed a dramatic change of their properties with dose, while others remain stable. Results were collected on nine commercial greases, on one oil and on four commercial elastomeric O-rings. The most radiation resistant among the selected products are now considered for application in facilities under construction. The main mechanisms of neutron and gamma radiation damage on these polymers were investigated at the mechanical and structural level.
