Annual Report 14-15
I Summary The Radiation Center offers a wide variety of resources for teaching, research, and service related to radiation and radioac-tive materials. Some of these are discussed in detail in other parts of this report. The purpose of this section is to sum-marize the teaching, research, and service efforts carried out during the current reporting period.
Teaching An important responsibility of the Radiation Center and the reactor is to support OSU's academic programs. Implementa-tion of this support occurs through direct involvement of the Center's staff and facilities in the teaching programs of various departments and through participation in University research programs. Table 111.2 plus the "Training and Instuction" sec-tion (see next page) provide detailed information on the use of the Radiation Center and reactor for instruction and training.
Research and Service Almost all Radiation Center research and service work is tracked by means of a project database. When a request for facil-ity use is received, a project number is assigned and the project is added to the database. T-he database includes such information as the project number, data about the person and institution requesting the work, information about students involved, a description of the project, Radiation Center resources needed, the Radiation Center project manager, status of individual runs, billing information, and the funding source.
Table VI.1 provides a summary of institutions which used the Radiation Center during this reporting period. T-his table also includes additional information about the number of academic personnel involved, the number of students involved, and the number of uses logged for each organization.
The major table in this section is Table VI.2. T-his table provides a listing of the research and service projects carried out dur-ing this reporting period and lists information relating to the personnel and institution involved, the type of project, and the funding agency. Projects which used the reactor are indicated by an asterisk. In addition to identifying specific projects carried out during the current reporting period, Part Vi also highlights major Radiation Center capabilities in research and service.
These unique Center functions are described in the following text.
Neutron Activation Analysis Neutron activation analysis (NAA) stands at the forefront of techniques for the quantitative multi-element analysis of major, minor, trace, and rare elements. The principle involved in NAA consists of first irradiating a sample with neutrons in a nuclear reactor such as the OSTR to produce specific radionuclides. Af-ter the irradiation, the characteristic gamma rays emitted by the decaying radionuclides are quantitatively measured by suitable semiconductor radiation detectors, and the gamma rays detected at a particular energy are usually indicative of a specific radionu-cdde's presence. Computerized data reduction of the gamma ray spectra then yields the concentrations of the various elements in samples being studied. With sequential instrumental NAA it is possible to measure quantitatively about 35 elements in small 0
14-15 Annual Report
samples (5 to 100 mg), and for activable elements the lower limit of detection is on the order of parts per million or parts per billion, depending on the element.
Tihe Radiation Center's NAA laboratory has analyzed the major, minor, and trace element content of tens of thousands of samples covering essentially the complete spectrum of material types and involving virtually every scientific and technical field.
While some researchers perform their own sample counting on their own or on Radiation Center equipment, the Radia-tion Center provides a complete NAA service for researchers and others who may require it. T-his includes sample prepara-tion, sequential irradiation and counting, and data reduction and analysis.
Irradiations As described throughout this report, a major capability of the Radiation Center involves the irradiation of a large variety of substances with gamma rays and neutrons. Detailed data on these irradiations and their use are included in Part III as well as in the "Research &* Service" text of this section.
Radiological Emergency Response Services T-he Radiation Center has an emergency response team capable of responding to all types of radiological accidents.
T-his team directly supports the City of Corvallis and Benton County emergency response organizations and medical facilities. T-he team can also provide assistance at the scene of any radiological incident anywhere in the state of Oregon on behalf of the Oregon Radiation Protection Services and the Oregon Department of Energy.
The Radiation Center maintains dedicated stocks of radio-logical emergency response equipment and instrumentation.
TIhese items are located at the Radiation Center and at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis.
During the current reporting period, the Radiation Center emergency response team conducted several training sessions and exercises, but was not required to respond to any actual incidents.
Training and Instruction In addition to the academic laboratory classes and courses discussed in Parts III and VI, and in addition to the routine training needed to meet the requirements of the OSTR Emergency Response Plan, Physical Security Plan, and op-erator requalification program, the Radiation Center is also used for special training programs. Radiation Center staff are well experienced in conducting these special programs and regularly offer training in areas such as research reactor operations, research reactor management, research reactor radiation protection, radiological emergency response, reactor behavior (for nuclear power plant operators), neutron activa-tion analysis, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear safety analysis.
Special training programs generally fall into one of several categories: visiting faculty and research scientists; Interna-tional Atomic Energy Agency fellows; special short-term courses; or individual reactor operator or health physics train-ing programs. During this reporting period there were a large number of such people as shown in the People Section.
As has been the practice since 1985, Radiation Center personnel annually present a HAZMAT Response Team Radiological Course. This year the course was held at Oregon State University.
Radiation Protection Services The primary purpose of the radiation protection program at the Radiation Center is to support the instruction and research conducted at the Center. However, due to the high quality of the program and the level of expertise and equip-ment available, the Radiation Center is also able to provide health physics services in support of OSU Radiation Safety and to assist other state and federal agencies. The Radiation Center does not compete with private industry, but supplies health physics services which are not readily available else-where. In the case of support provided to state agencies, this definitely helps to optimize the utilization of state resources.
The Radiation Center is capable of providing health phys-ics services in any of the areas which are discussed in Part V.
These include personnel monitoring, radiation surveys, sealed source leak testing, packaging and shipment of radioactive materials, calibration and repair of radiation monitoring instruments (discussed in detail in Part VI), radioactive waste disposal, radioactive material hood flow surveys, and radia-tion safety analysis and audits.
The Radiation Center also provides services and techni-cal support as a radiation laboratory to the State of Oregon Radiation Protection Services (RPS) in the event of a radio-S 14-15 Annual Report
-I
logical emergency within the state of Oregon. In this role, the Radiation Center will provide gamma ray spectrometric analysis of water, soil, milk, food products, vegetation, and air samples collected by RPS radiological response field teams.
As part of the ongoing preparation for this emergency sup-port, the Radiation Center participates in inter-institution drills.
Radiological Inst rument Repair and Calibration While repair of nuclear instrumentation is a practical neces-sity, routine calibration of these instruments is a licensing and regulatory requirement which must be met. As a result, the Radiation Center operates a radiation instrument repair and calibration facility which can accommodate a wide vari-ety of equipment.
The Center's scientific instrument repair facility performs maintenance and repair on all types of radiation detectors and other nuclear instrumentation. Since the Radiation Cen-ter's own programs regularly utilize a wide range of nuclear instruments, components for most common repairs are often on hand and repair time is therefore minimized.
In addition to the instrument repair capability, the Radia-tion Center has a facility for calibrating essentially all types of radiation monitoring instruments. This includes typical portable monitoring instrumentation for the detection and measurement of alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation, as well as instruments designed for low-level environmental monitoring. Higher range instruments for use in radiation accident situations can also be calibrated in most cases. Instru-ment calibrations are performed using radiation sources certi-fied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or traceable to NIST.
Table VI.3 is a summary of the instruments which were calibrated in support of the Radiation Center's instructional and research programs and the OSTR Emergency Plan, while Table VI.4 shows instruments calibrated for other OSU de-partments and non-OSU agencies.
Consultation Radiation Center staff are available to provide consultation services in any of the areas discussed in this Annual Report, but in particular on the subjects of research reactor operations and use, radiation protection, neutron activation analysis, radia-tion shielding, radiological emergency response, and radiotracer methods.
Records are not normally kept of such consultations, as they often take the form of telephone conversations with research-ers encountering problems or planning the design of experi-ments. Many faculty members housed in the Radiation Center have ongoing professional consulting functions with various organizations, in addition to sitting on numerous committees in advisory capacities.

2020 IContreras Oregon State University Mutagenesis of carpenteria californica using varying rates of gamma radiation Carpenteria californica (Hydrangeaceae) is a shrub with large white flowers and yellow eyespots. It is prized for its large flowers but often the growth form is poor. TIhere are few cultivars available, with 'Elizabeth' being reported as a double-flowered form but most often it is a weak semi-double at best. Our goal is to induce mutations in Carpenteria californica to select for mutations in growth form and flowering traits. A superior selection would be one that exhibits compact growth form (shortened internodes compared to the type) and is extremely floriferous.______

Annual Report 14-15
I Summary The Radiation Center offers a wide variety of resources for teaching, research, and service related to radiation and radioac-tive materials. Some of these are discussed in detail in other parts of this report. The purpose of this section is to sum-marize the teaching, research, and service efforts carried out during the current reporting period.
Teaching An important responsibility of the Radiation Center and the reactor is to support OSU's academic programs. Implementa-tion of this support occurs through direct involvement of the Center's staff and facilities in the teaching programs of various departments and through participation in University research programs. Table 111.2 plus the "Training and Instuction" sec-tion (see next page) provide detailed information on the use of the Radiation Center and reactor for instruction and training.
Research and Service Almost all Radiation Center research and service work is tracked by means of a project database. When a request for facil-ity use is received, a project number is assigned and the project is added to the database. T-he database includes such information as the project number, data about the person and institution requesting the work, information about students involved, a description of the project, Radiation Center resources needed, the Radiation Center project manager, status of individual runs, billing information, and the funding source.
Table VI.1 provides a summary of institutions which used the Radiation Center during this reporting period. T-his table also includes additional information about the number of academic personnel involved, the number of students involved, and the number of uses logged for each organization.
The major table in this section is Table VI.2. T-his table provides a listing of the research and service projects carried out dur-ing this reporting period and lists information relating to the personnel and institution involved, the type of project, and the funding agency. Projects which used the reactor are indicated by an asterisk. In addition to identifying specific projects carried out during the current reporting period, Part Vi also highlights major Radiation Center capabilities in research and service.
These unique Center functions are described in the following text.
Neutron Activation Analysis Neutron activation analysis (NAA) stands at the forefront of techniques for the quantitative multi-element analysis of major, minor, trace, and rare elements. The principle involved in NAA consists of first irradiating a sample with neutrons in a nuclear reactor such as the OSTR to produce specific radionuclides. Af-ter the irradiation, the characteristic gamma rays emitted by the decaying radionuclides are quantitatively measured by suitable semiconductor radiation detectors, and the gamma rays detected at a particular energy are usually indicative of a specific radionu-cdde's presence. Computerized data reduction of the gamma ray spectra then yields the concentrations of the various elements in samples being studied. With sequential instrumental NAA it is possible to measure quantitatively about 35 elements in small 0
14-15 Annual Report
samples (5 to 100 mg), and for activable elements the lower limit of detection is on the order of parts per million or parts per billion, depending on the element.
Tihe Radiation Center's NAA laboratory has analyzed the major, minor, and trace element content of tens of thousands of samples covering essentially the complete spectrum of material types and involving virtually every scientific and technical field.
While some researchers perform their own sample counting on their own or on Radiation Center equipment, the Radia-tion Center provides a complete NAA service for researchers and others who may require it. T-his includes sample prepara-tion, sequential irradiation and counting, and data reduction and analysis.
Irradiations As described throughout this report, a major capability of the Radiation Center involves the irradiation of a large variety of substances with gamma rays and neutrons. Detailed data on these irradiations and their use are included in Part III as well as in the "Research &* Service" text of this section.
Radiological Emergency Response Services T-he Radiation Center has an emergency response team capable of responding to all types of radiological accidents.
T-his team directly supports the City of Corvallis and Benton County emergency response organizations and medical facilities. T-he team can also provide assistance at the scene of any radiological incident anywhere in the state of Oregon on behalf of the Oregon Radiation Protection Services and the Oregon Department of Energy.
The Radiation Center maintains dedicated stocks of radio-logical emergency response equipment and instrumentation.
TIhese items are located at the Radiation Center and at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis.
During the current reporting period, the Radiation Center emergency response team conducted several training sessions and exercises, but was not required to respond to any actual incidents.
Training and Instruction In addition to the academic laboratory classes and courses discussed in Parts III and VI, and in addition to the routine training needed to meet the requirements of the OSTR Emergency Response Plan, Physical Security Plan, and op-erator requalification program, the Radiation Center is also used for special training programs. Radiation Center staff are well experienced in conducting these special programs and regularly offer training in areas such as research reactor operations, research reactor management, research reactor radiation protection, radiological emergency response, reactor behavior (for nuclear power plant operators), neutron activa-tion analysis, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear safety analysis.
Special training programs generally fall into one of several categories: visiting faculty and research scientists; Interna-tional Atomic Energy Agency fellows; special short-term courses; or individual reactor operator or health physics train-ing programs. During this reporting period there were a large number of such people as shown in the People Section.
As has been the practice since 1985, Radiation Center personnel annually present a HAZMAT Response Team Radiological Course. This year the course was held at Oregon State University.
Radiation Protection Services The primary purpose of the radiation protection program at the Radiation Center is to support the instruction and research conducted at the Center. However, due to the high quality of the program and the level of expertise and equip-ment available, the Radiation Center is also able to provide health physics services in support of OSU Radiation Safety and to assist other state and federal agencies. The Radiation Center does not compete with private industry, but supplies health physics services which are not readily available else-where. In the case of support provided to state agencies, this definitely helps to optimize the utilization of state resources.
The Radiation Center is capable of providing health phys-ics services in any of the areas which are discussed in Part V.
These include personnel monitoring, radiation surveys, sealed source leak testing, packaging and shipment of radioactive materials, calibration and repair of radiation monitoring instruments (discussed in detail in Part VI), radioactive waste disposal, radioactive material hood flow surveys, and radia-tion safety analysis and audits.
The Radiation Center also provides services and techni-cal support as a radiation laboratory to the State of Oregon Radiation Protection Services (RPS) in the event of a radio-S 14-15 Annual Report
-I
logical emergency within the state of Oregon. In this role, the Radiation Center will provide gamma ray spectrometric analysis of water, soil, milk, food products, vegetation, and air samples collected by RPS radiological response field teams.
As part of the ongoing preparation for this emergency sup-port, the Radiation Center participates in inter-institution drills.
Radiological Inst rument Repair and Calibration While repair of nuclear instrumentation is a practical neces-sity, routine calibration of these instruments is a licensing and regulatory requirement which must be met. As a result, the Radiation Center operates a radiation instrument repair and calibration facility which can accommodate a wide vari-ety of equipment.
The Center's scientific instrument repair facility performs maintenance and repair on all types of radiation detectors and other nuclear instrumentation. Since the Radiation Cen-ter's own programs regularly utilize a wide range of nuclear instruments, components for most common repairs are often on hand and repair time is therefore minimized.
In addition to the instrument repair capability, the Radia-tion Center has a facility for calibrating essentially all types of radiation monitoring instruments. This includes typical portable monitoring instrumentation for the detection and measurement of alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation, as well as instruments designed for low-level environmental monitoring. Higher range instruments for use in radiation accident situations can also be calibrated in most cases. Instru-ment calibrations are performed using radiation sources certi-fied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or traceable to NIST.
Table VI.3 is a summary of the instruments which were calibrated in support of the Radiation Center's instructional and research programs and the OSTR Emergency Plan, while Table VI.4 shows instruments calibrated for other OSU de-partments and non-OSU agencies.
Consultation Radiation Center staff are available to provide consultation services in any of the areas discussed in this Annual Report, but in particular on the subjects of research reactor operations and use, radiation protection, neutron activation analysis, radia-tion shielding, radiological emergency response, and radiotracer methods.
Records are not normally kept of such consultations, as they often take the form of telephone conversations with research-ers encountering problems or planning the design of experi-ments. Many faculty members housed in the Radiation Center have ongoing professional consulting functions with various organizations, in addition to sitting on numerous committees in advisory capacities.

2020 IContreras Oregon State University Mutagenesis of carpenteria californica using varying rates of gamma radiation Carpenteria californica (Hydrangeaceae) is a shrub with large white flowers and yellow eyespots. It is prized for its large flowers but often the growth form is poor. TIhere are few cultivars available, with 'Elizabeth' being reported as a double-flowered form but most often it is a weak semi-double at best. Our goal is to induce mutations in Carpenteria californica to select for mutations in growth form and flowering traits. A superior selection would be one that exhibits compact growth form (shortened internodes compared to the type) and is extremely floriferous.______
