Improved field-portable system to measure Cs-137 in wildlife [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2020
We have developed an improved system to measure Cs-137 in wildlife at the Savannah River Site. This field-portable system consists of a shielded 5 cm by 10 cm by 40 cm NaI detector controlled by an Ametek Ortec Digibase. Measurement of an animal's radioactivity is made by placing the animal at a predefined location on the detector system for a one ...

When Poor Exciton Dissociation Limits Photocurrents in Organic Solar Cells: Why Low Offset Non‐Fullerene Acceptor Blends Can't Be Efficient

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The energetic offset between the donor and the acceptor components in organic photoactive layers is central to the tradeoff between photovoltage and photocurrent losses. This Perspective covers the most important issues surrounding this topic in non‐fullerene acceptor blends, from the difficulty of accurately determining state energies and driving ...

RETENTION OF CS-137 BY ALGAL POLYSACCHARIDES

open access: yes, 1994
The retention of Cs-137 in algal polysaccharides has been studied. Alginic acid showed higher retention value than the tested alginate samples. The retention of Cs-137 in carragen types and agar was first investigated.

Utilization of bentonite in cementation of Cs-137-contaminated electric arc furnace dust

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Cementation was employed to harden the Cs-137-contaminated electric arc furnace dust. The dust and cement were used as cementation binders. Bentonite was added to resist the Cs-137 leaching from the dust-cement-bentonite specimens.

辽东湾沿岸土壤中~(137)Cs背景值及分布特征研究

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2011
在辽东湾沿岸区域采集了20个土壤表层样和7个非耕作土壤剖面样(其中一个为标准剖面),通过对采集的土壤样品中的137 Cs进行测量与分析,确定该区域土壤中137 Cs的背景值,并探讨了土壤中137 Cs的分布特征。结果表明,研究区137 Cs的背景值为(1 704±40)Bq/m2;表层土壤中137 Cs的比活度范围为0.84~19.90Bq/kg,不同土地利用类型表层土壤中的137 Cs比活度有明显差异,比活度高低依次为:草地>盐碱地>耕地;非耕作土壤剖面中137 Cs的总量范围为65~1 535Bq ...
