Radioactive Contamination of Manufactured Products

Health Physics, 1986
Cases of inadvertent radioactive contamination of manufactured articles have occurred sporadically in the past and bore little relationship to each other. Since 1983, however, seven instances have occurred of accidental radioactive contamination of steel either manufactured in or imported into the United States.

Radioactive contamination of forests in Poland

Biological Trace Element Research, 1994
Partial results of a large survey of radioactive contamination in Polish forests are presented. All measurements were performed with low-background gamma spectrometers. The measurement method is briefly described. Activities of 137Cs, 134Cs, 125Sb, 106Ru, 144Ce, 154Eu, 155Eu, and 60Co in A0 and A1 layers of forest litter from all over Poland are ...

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

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 ...

Radioactive! Treating Contaminated Water

Opflow, 2008
This article begins by providing a brief overview of sources of radionuclide occurrence in drinking water, and potential health risks of specific radionuclides. Various treatment technologies are discussed for removing radionuclides from contaminated groundwater that include: ion exchange; reverse osmosis; lime softening; co‐precipitation with barium ...

Phytomanagement of radioactively contaminated sites

2005
The application of nuclear energy and use of radionuclides for industrial, medical and research purposes have caused significant contamination of certain sites and their environment, which could result in health problems for several centuries if nothing is undertaken to remedy these situations.

Radioactive Contamination Incidents Involving Protective Clothing

Health Physics, 1998
The study focuses on incidents at Department of Energy facilities involving the migration of radioactive contaminants through protective clothing. The authors analyzed 68 occurrence reports for the following factors: (1) type of work; (2) working conditions; (3) type of anti-contamination material; (4) area of body or clothing contaminated; and (5 ...

A probabilistic description of radioactive contamination

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2000
A discrete probability model is used to aid in the description of gamma-ray spectroscopic data obtained from a radioactively contaminated territory. The approach gives a natural probability for distinguishing contaminated regions and is useful for describing spatial vector valued discrete random fields.

Natural radioactive contaminants in solder

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1985
Abstract Comparatively high surface count rates for alpha- and beta-radiation were observed for several solders. They were identified as 210Pb and 210Po. The corresponding specific activities in solder were determined.
