Selection of mortars samples for radiocarbon dating
Válek, Jan ; Kozlovcev, Petr ; Fialová, Anna ; Kotková, Kristýna ; Frankeová, Dita ; Skružná, Olga ; Maříková-Kubková, Jana ; Tomanová, Pavla ; Herichová, Iva ; Světlík, Ivo ; Pachnerová Brabcová, Kateřina ; Šimek, Pavel
Radiocarbon dating of organic residues may not always correctly determine the age of analysed historic mortars. Therefore, it seems advantageous to use of carbon dating of the carbon contained in the structure of the lime mortar, which will provide representative data of the age of the investigated structure. The methodology presents basic instructions and rules for sample selection, processing, and evaluation. The aim of this methodology is the identification of cases where the radiocarbon dating of a binder is appropriate and to define the reasons why some binder systems fail to provide relevant results.

Preparation of mortars samples for radiocarbon dating by mechanical separation
Válek, Jan ; Kotková, Kristýna ; Fialová, Anna ; Kozlovcev, Petr ; Králová, Karolína ; Světlík, Ivo ; Pachnerová Brabcová, Kateřina
The methodology establishes the procedure for mechanical separation of the binder from the mortars to determine their age using the radiocarbon method. Along with the procedure, there is also a method of verifying the quality of purification using optical microscopy supplemented with cathode luminescence. The methodology is developed on the basis of the current state of knowledge and presents the basic sample preparation procedure in the form of a detailed description of the proven method of mechanical separation of the binder from lime mortar samples together with possible problems and an evaluation of the separation quality.

Use of calculation of 14CO2 volume activity for reconstruction of radiocarbon content changes in atmosphere
Světlík, Ivo ; Fejgl, M. ; Turek, Karel ; Pachnerová Brabcová, Kateřina ; Tomášková, Lenka
Atmospheric 14CO2 provides valuable information for better specification of carbon transport in nature. Radioactive 14C allows calculating some data related to the residence time of carbon in natural sinks as the atmosphere, oceans and biota. The work presents the estimation of 14CO2 content temporal changes in the atmosphere using the radiocarbon calibration curve IntCal09 and data about CO2 concentration during last 50 thousands years.

In the presentation are compared results of atmospheric 14CO2 monitoring performed in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic.
Determination of 14C in point samples of stack air from Nuclear Power Plants
Světlík, Ivo ; Michálek, V. ; Tomášková, Lenka ; Tomeš, Marek ; Brabcová, Kateřina
During normal operation of nuclear power plants (NPP), with pressured light water reactors, is C-14 (relatively) responsible for major contribution of effective dose from all released radionuclides. In this paper is described a new method of C-14 forms determination in short-term (point) sampled stack air from NPPs. Item time series of C-14 activities is reported and compared with results of determinations performed by laboratories of NPP Temelín utilizing monthly cumulated samples
