Measurement of the Intrinsic Radiopurity of Cs-137/U-235/U-238/Th-232 in CsI(Tl) Crystal Scintillators

, 2005
The inorganic crystal scintillator CsI(Tl) has been used for low energy neutrino and Dark Matter experiments, where the intrinsic radiopurity is an issue of major importance.

A critical role of heterotrophic bacteria in early diagenesis of carbonates through exopolymer degradation and calcium release

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced in the photic zone and surface sediments sequester calcium. Below the sediment surface, heterotrophic bacteria degrade EPS, releasing calcium resulting in carbonate precipitation. This process, which continues for millennia deep in the core, is an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Assessing the Long‐Term Aqueous Durability and Structural Stability of Pyrochlore (Gd2Ti2O7) and Glass‐Pyrochlore (Fe‐Al‐BG‐Gd2Ti2O7) Composite Materials

Surface and Interface Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 71-88, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the corrosion behavior of glass–ceramic composite materials such as Fe‐Al‐BG‐Gd2Ti2O7 as potential nuclear wasteform candidates has attracted considerable attention due to their high loading of actinide elements and fission products compared to current borosilicate glass nuclear wasteforms.

The development of a position-sensitive CZT detector with orthogonal co-planar anode strips [PDF]

, 2000
We report on the simulation, construction, and performance of prototype CdZnTe imaging detectors with orthogonal coplanar anode strips. These detectors employ a novel electrode geometry with non-collecting anode strips in one dimension and collecting ...

Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 779-789, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Nuclear contamination sources in surface air of Finnish Lapland in 1965–2011 studied by means of 137Cs, 90Sr, and total beta activity

Environmental science and pollution research international, 2019
Radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr and total beta activity were determined from air filters collected in Rovaniemi (Finnish Lapland) in 1965–2011. Nuclear contamination sources present in the air filter samples as well as temporal changes in radionuclide ...
