Airborne radioactive contamination monitoring

, 1996
Current technologies for the detection of airborne radioactive contamination do not provide real-time capability. Most of these techniques are based on the capture of particulate matter in air onto filters which are then processed in the laboratory; thus,

Microfluidic Capillary Arrays for Pixelated Control of Multimaterial Flows

Small, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed pixellated capillary array maps up to thousands of fluid inputs into arbitrary multimaterial flow cross‐sections. Automated manifold design and laminar scaling are used to amplify printing resolution orders of magnitude, generating microscale fluidic control from printed elements, enabling designed microflows for potential use in ...

Fusion Energy and Tritium Fuel Cycle: Hydrogen Isotope Separation Technologies and Sorbent Materials

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This review surveys sorbent‐based materials for hydrogen isotope separation, a key challenge in fusion fuel processing. Different types of adsorbents are compared in terms of selectivity, kinetics, and operational practicality. Limitations of cryogenic operation and tritium compatibility are highlighted, providing guidance toward efficient, low tritium

Integrated Alpha–Gamma Radiation Exposure From Natural Radionuclides in Cement and Gypsum Production: Implications for Occupational Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural radionuclides in cement and gypsum production materials pose significant risks of occupational radiation exposure that are not well documented in Iraqi Kurdistan. This study quantifies alpha and gamma radiation levels from naturally occurring radioactive materials, specifically 222Rn, 238U, 232Th, and 40K, in cement and gypsum samples ...
