Effects of aging of radioactive fallout on timely decontamination of concrete using low and mild pressure washing. [PDF]
HeliyonTimely decontamination will reduce the consequences of a radiological contamination event. For this purpose, pressure washing can be rapidly deployed, but its effectiveness will change if the interactions between the surface and radionuclides changes as ...

Prediction and Analysis of Nuclear Explosion Radioactive Pollutant Diffusion Model
Pollutants, 2023 This study presents a model for the dispersion of radioactive smoke clouds from a nuclear weapon explosion. A model based on a modified Settlement model is chosen to simulate the dispersion of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear explosion in the ...

Assessment of 137Cs in the Environment of Hetauda City, Nepal by In-Situ Gamma Ray Spectrometry
Atom Indonesia, 2023 A significant amount of 137Cs radioactive fallout have been spread in the atmosphere due to nuclear weapon testing and nuclear reactor disasters. This fallout eventually settles on the Earth's surface, and because 137Cs has a long half-life, it remains ...

Cryoconite: an efficient accumulator of radioactive fallout in glacial environments [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Cryoconite is rich in natural and artificial radioactivity, but a discussion about its ability to accumulate radionuclides is lacking. A characterization of cryoconite from two Alpine glaciers is presented here.

Settlement process of radioactive dust to the ground inferred from the atmospheric electric field measurement [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Radioactive materials from the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (FNPP) in March 2011 spread over a large area, increasing the atmospheric electric conductivity by their ionizing effect, and reducing the vertical (downward) component ...
