Can the incineration of Municipal Solid Waste pose occupational and environmental radiation hazards?
International Journal of Occupational and Environment Safety, 2017 An evaluation of the incineration process of municipal solid waste is made for identifying potential radiation hazards. Sources of radiation considered are the radioactive materials wrongly eliminated into municipal waste (e.g., industrial and medical ...

Concentrations of natural radionuclides in imported zirconium minerals [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2011 The natural radioactivity in imported zircon samples used as glaze for ceramic tiles in the ceramics industry has been presented in this paper. The measurements were made by gamma spectrometry with a high purity germanium detector. The average activity concentrations of 238U and 232Th determined in the measured samples (3250 Bq/kg, and 556 ...
