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 ...

Concentrations of 137Cs in forest mushrooms and soil in southern Poland [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary ResearchSince 1986, Poland has been constantly contaminated with radioactive 137Cs, and before that, it experienced fallout like most of the world since nuclear bomb tests. As a result of radioactive fallout, vegetation and fungi acquired contamination.

Radioactive fallout and neural tube defects
Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2015 Possible link between radioactivity and the occurrence of neural tube defects is a long lasting debate since the Chernobyl nuclear fallout in 1986. A recent report on the incidence of neural defects in the west coast of USA, following Fukushima disaster,

RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM FALLOUT [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1956 Hazards from /sup 90/Sr deposited in fallout following nuclear explosions are reviewed. Strontium/sup 90/ is of particular interest among the fission products because of chemical similarity to Ca, an average life of about 40 years, and a low rate of skeletal elimination.

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.
