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 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,

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 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 ...

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.

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.
