Multi-Physics Model Development for Polonium Transport Behavior in a Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021
210Po, a highly toxic element with strong volatility, is one of the main source terms of a Gen-IV lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR). Therefore, the radioactive safety caused by 210Po has become an important topic in LFR-related research.

The simple-cubic structure of elemental Polonium and its relation to combined charge and orbital order in other elemental chalcogens

SciPost Physics, 2018
Polonium is the only element to crystallise into a simple cubic structure at ambient conditions. Moreover, at high temperatures it undergoes a structural phase transition into a less symmetric trigonal configuration.

Accumulation of trace element content in the lungs of Sao Paulo city residents and its correlation to lifetime exposure to air pollution

Scientific Reports, 2022
Heavy metals are natural and essential elements of the environment and living beings, produced from natural (e.g. volcanic activity and cosmic ray-induced spallation) and anthropogenic processes (e.g. industrial and fossil fuel combustion).
