Computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation of the effect of cooling towers on the diffusion of airborne radionuclides

open access: yesFushe yanjiu yu fushe gongyi xuebao
During the normal operation of cooling towers in nuclear power plants, water vapor with a certain temperature is discharged through the outlet of the cooling tower, which mixes with the surrounding air. A portion of this vapor condenses and forms visible

Paths of Air Pollutants Containing Radioactive Nuclides in the Suburban Area of Thessaloniki, Northern Greece

open access: yesAerosol and Air Quality Research, 2010
The atmospheric behavior of 7 Be-aerosols in association with atmospheric pollutants was studied by using 1-ACFM Andersen type cascade impactors. The activity of 7 Be, a radionuclide of cosmogenic origin, determined by gamma-ray spectrometry (Eγ = 0.477 MeV), was largely associated with submicron aerosol particles in the accumulation mode (0.4– 2.0 μm).
