Ocean Acidification-Mediated Food Chain Transfer of Polonium between Primary Producers and Consumers. [PDF]
Toxics, 2022 Phytoplankton and zooplankton are key marine components that play an important role in metal distribution through a food web transfer. An increased phytoplankton concentration as a result of ocean acidification and warming are well-established, along ...

Thermochemistry of Polonium Evaporation from LBE
Thermo, 2021 Polonium is formed in relatively large quantities in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled nuclear systems. Because of its radiotoxicity and volatility, a good understanding of the chemical equilibria governing polonium release from LBE is required. In this

Removal of the Homolog Tellurium of Polonium by SiO2 Nanofiber Filter for Lead Alloy-Cooled Reactors
Toxics, 2022 The lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) can be easily activated by neutron radiation to produce the radionuclide 210Po. It is therefore necessary to establish an effective method to remove vaporized polonium in the cover gas to prevent its release into the air ...

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.
