Exposure to Recycled Uranium Contaminants in Gaseous Diffusion Plants [PDF]
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2017 As part of an ongoing study of health effects in a pooled cohort of gaseous diffusion plant workers, organ dose from internal exposure to uranium was evaluated. Due to the introduction of recycled uranium into the plants, there was also potential for exposure to radiologically significant levels of 99Tc, 237Np and 238,239Pu.

Nuclear Archaeology for Gaseous Diffusion Enrichment Plants
Science and Global Security, 2014 Gaseous diffusion was historically the most widely used technology for military production of highly enriched uranium. Since June 2013, all gaseous diffusion enrichment plants worldwide are permanently shut down. The experience with decommissioning some of these plants has shown that they contain large amounts of uranium particles deposited in the ...

Gamma-ray spectroscopy for the characterization of uranium contamination in nuclear decommissioning [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 Decommissioning is the last step in the life cycle of a nuclear facility. After the evacuation of the facility components, the remaining structures such as concrete walls and floors must be surveyed to ensure that no residual contamination remains. It is

Plant responses to limited aeration: Advances and future challenges
Plant Direct, 2023 Limited aeration that is caused by tissue geometry, diffusion barriers, high elevation, or a flooding event poses major challenges to plants and is often, but not exclusively, associated with low oxygen.

Time-period mortality patterns in a Gaseous Diffusion Plant workforce [PDF]
International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, 2010 We sub-divided a cohort of 6820 workers at the Paducah (KY) Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) which was traced from 1953 to 2003. The subdivisions were made to assess the mortality risks in a sub-group of workers employed solely during the plant's refit period, a time of suspected higher exposure to metal dusts (nickel, arsenic, chromium and uranium) and ...

Mortality Patterns Among Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant Workers [PDF]
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2010 To determine whether Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant workers had mortality patterns that differed from the general US population and to investigate whether mortality patterns were associated with job title or workplace exposures.A retrospective occupational cohort mortality study was conducted on 6759 workers.

Application of the Passive Sampler Developed for Atmospheric Mercury and Its Limitation
Atmosphere, 2019 In this study, a passive sampler for gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) was developed and applied to field monitoring. Three Radiello® diffusive bodies with gold-coated beads as Hg adsorbent were installed in an acrylic external shield.
