RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION OF SOIL

Canadian Journal of Physics, 1962
All soil samples came from the same location in King township, Ontario. For each test, a set of samples from a 500-cm/sup 2/ plot was taken. Each sample was dried, weighed, and its gamma activity measured using a 5-in. NaI(Tl) scintillation crystal. Activities of detected, other than the naturally occurring ones, werc Ru/sup 103/, Rn/sup 106/, Zr/sup ...

Reconstruction of Radioactive Contamination in the Columbia River

Health Physics, 1996
As part of the Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction Project, an unsteady flow hydraulic model, modified to include radionuclide decay, was used to simulate the transport of radionuclides released to the Columbia River from Hanford. The model was applied to the river from Priest Rapids Dam to the vicinity of Portland, Oregon, for the period from ...

Guidelines for Handling Radioactively Contaminated Decedents

Health Physics, 2008
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued guidelines for medical examiners, coroners, and morticians in dealing with decedents after detonation of an improvised nuclear device (IND) or radiological dispersal device (RDD) (). Partners in this effort included the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner and the National Funeral

The sensitivity of different environments to radioactive contamination

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2013
This paper describes modelling calculations carried out to determine the sensitivity of various rural and semi-natural environments to radionuclide contamination by (137)Cs, (90)Sr, and (131)I released during a major nuclear accident. Depositions of 1000 Bq/m(3) were assumed for each radionuclide.

Radioactive contamination of wood and its products

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2001
This paper presents research on radioactive contamination of the three most common kinds of wood in Croatia--beech, oak and fir as well as acorn. Gamma-spectrometric measurements carried out on the samples of bark and wood of beech, oak, fir and acorn have shown radioactivity contents ranging from 1.6 +/- 0.1 to 37.3 +/- 0.5 Bq/kg from deposited 137Cs,

Sites in the United States Contaminated with Radioactivity

Health Physics, 1999
Over the century that radioactive materials have been mined, processed, produced, and utilized, many sites across the United States have become contaminated. Such sites include bases and installations of the Department of Defense, weapons production and research facilities of the Department of Energy, properties under the authority of other Federal ...

Contamination of the biosphere with radioactivity

Biological Conservation, 1969
Abstract The results of intensive research on the behaviour of radioactive substances in the environment, and on the biological effects of radiation, have dispelled many misapprehensions regarding the significance of environmental contamination with radioactive substances under peace-time conditions.

Radioactive contamination of the atmosphere

The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy, 1957
This article is a review of foreign works on the study of radioactive contamination of the atmosphere due primarily to diffusion of fission fragments from atomic tests. Several properties of fission fragment activity, namely its decay rate and the composition of its radiation, are considered, and methods are described for monitoring the fallout from ...

Removal of radioactive contaminants by polymeric microspheres

Environmental Technology, 2016
Radionuclide removal from radioactive liquid waste by adsorption on polymeric microspheres is the latest application of polymers in waste management. Polymeric microspheres have significant immobilization capacity for ionic substances. A laboratory study was carried out by using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for encapsulation of radionuclide in the ...

Hospital Planning To Combat Radioactive Contamination

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963
IN OUR PRESENT complex society, each hospital, however small or specialized, should have a well-planned disaster program. This program should have provisions for intensive care of fewer than 50 patients and emergency care for large segments of its potential population in case of mass catastrophe.
