Iodine in soils, pasture vegetation cuttings, and local food products of certain regions of Russia affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2023
Natural iodine deficiency, which in some regions of Russia provokes thyroid diseases, increases the consequences of the entry of short-lived radioactive isotopes of this element into the food chain as a result of the Chernobyl accident (1986). The aim of

Combined Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Iodine Capture of Zr-based Metal-Organic Frameworks: Effect of N-functionalization and Adsorption Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Today Sustainability, 2023, 100574, 2023
The potential leakage of nuclear waste, especially radioiodine, is a major safety concerning issue around the world. To remove radioiodine from nuclear waste efficiently, there is an urgent demand for adsorbents that possess both high stability and strong adsorption affinity for environmental remediation.

Deciphering the measured ratios of Iodine-131 to Cesium-137 at the Fukushima reactors [PDF]

open access: yesProg. Theor. Phys. 126 (2011), 1167-1176, 2011
We calculate the relative abundance of the radioactive isotopes Iodine-131 and Cesium-137 produced by nuclear fission in reactors and compare it with data taken at the troubled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. The ratio of radioactivities of these two isotopes can be used to obtain information about when the nuclear reactions terminated.

Dry Distillation of Radioiodine from TeO2 Targets

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2013
As medical cyclotrons are becoming more abundant, 123I and 124I are getting more attention as alternatives to 131I for diagnostics of thyroid disease. Both 123I and 124I provide better diagnostics, deliver less dose to patients and both reduce the risk ...

Production cross–section and reaction yield calculations for 123-126I isotopes on 123Sb(α,xn) reactions

open access: yesKuwait Journal of Science, 2021
Most of the radioisotopes that used in medical field, like examination and treatment studies, were produced by employing nuclear reactions. Within the process of a nuclear reaction, one of the most important parameter is the cross–section data which help

On the Effect of Nuclear Response Functions in Dark Matter Direct Detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We examine the effect of nuclear response functions, as laid out in [Fitzpatrick et al, arXiv:1203.3542], on dark matter (DM) direct detection in the context of well-motivated UV completions, including electric and magnetic dipoles, anapole, spin-orbit ...

Absorption of radionuclides from the Fukushima nuclear accident by a novel algal strain. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Large quantities of radionuclides have leaked from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the surrounding environment. Effective prevention of health hazards resulting from radiation exposure will require the development of efficient and ...

Esophageal stenting for unresectable cancer (review of literature)

open access: yesВестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2021
To date, the main way to stop dysphagia for patients with unresectable esophageal cancer is stenting. Being widely accepted and effective, this technique, however, allows for oral nutrition only for an average of 3–4 months and is accompanied by the ...

Dark antiatoms can explain DAMA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We show that the existence of a sub-dominant form of dark matter, made of dark antiatoms of mass and size of the order of 1 TeV and 30 fm respectively, can explain the results of direct detection experiments, with a positive signal in DAMA/NaI and DAMA ...
