  1. Status on 82Se enrichment IDEA meeting Heidelberg, October 21, 2004 S. Jullian, LAL-Orsay

  2. PLAN • 82Se programme: last meeting in COMO 8th April • 82Se : status today meetings in Moscow 4, 5 October • Conclusion

  3. CONCLUSION : COMO meeting 8th April • Gas centrifuge OK but technical discussions are needed F6 X  X 82Se is ``OK’’ 130Te ``OK’’ • 150Nd no solution today for a few Kg cyclotron resonance is the device for any 2 isotope • International level but Europe could be a motor CEA has the know how

  4. 82Se 932 g 216.4 days 0.55 kg.y Data bb2n Monte-Carlo Radon Monte-Carlo NEMO3 June 2004 preliminary 82Se program : COMO meeting 8th April Aim : to produce 2 kg of 82Se very pure • What is the radiopurety of F682Se ? • How to control the chemistry ? • F682Se  82Se • IF NOT • then chemistry in INEEL (U.S) • requirements • 214Bi < 20  Bq/kg (1/10 NEMO3) • 200Tl < 2  Bq/kg (1/10 NEMO3) • schedule tentative • ≈ 1 year enrichment • ≈ 1 year chemistry

  5. Production of stable isotopes in RRC “Kurchatov Institute” Volatile compounds for centrifuge separation chlorides TiCl4 SiCl3H, GeCl4 Ga(CH3)3 Candidates to double beta decay

  6. Production of stable isotopes in RRC “Kurchatov Institute” ECP, St.Petersburg Moscow, RRC “Kurchatov Institute” ECP, Nizhniy Novgorod UCP, Novouralsk SCP, Seversk Sarov ECP, Zelenogorsk EChPr, Lesnoi, EM ELP, Angarsk Location of main producers of stable isotopes in Russia

  7. 82Se status today 2 meetings in Moscow 1) 4th October Anatoly Tchetsov, head of the lab. Russian Research Center, Kurchatov Institute Leonid Sosnine, Kurchatov Alexander Barabash, ITEP (Moscow), member of NEMO Conclusions • It is possible to produce 2kg of 82Se 1 year, cost 120 k Euros 82Se will be distilled at the end then the radiopurety could be better than before • The 82Se will be rent for a long period  agreement is needed 2) Second meeting 5th October A. Barabash, M. Danylov (director ITEP) agreement ITEP, IN2P3 including 2kg 82Se for a long period will be signed

  8. 82Se radiopurety ? • Next tracko-calo detector requirements NEMO3 x 10 208Tl < 2 Bq/kg, 214Bi < 20 Bq/kg • F682Se 82Se 82Se chemistry: distillation radiopurety ? enough ? new way • HPGe measurements 6 kg of 82Se will be better than 2 kg to improve the sensitivity and the next 4kg will be less expensive (~ 20 %)

  9. CONCLUSION 82Se programme possible • 2kg - 1 year - 120 k Euros • Radiopurety after distillation must be measured 6 kg ? • Condition to get a reasonable cost and to avoid the customs problems (enriched materials are very expensive in the U.S): agreement for the use for a long period • Future: a few100 kg seems to be possible Thank you S. Jullian, Heidelberg 21 October
