The Study of Radioactive Fallout Source of Low-Equivalent Nuclear Bursts Based on Nuclear Cloud Simulation Using the CFD-DPM

Atmosphere
The activity-height distribution of radioactive particles in the stabilization cloud of a nuclear burst plays a crucial role in the radioactive fallout prediction model, serving as the source for transport, diffusion, and dose rate calculation modules. A

Radionuclides in Milk: A Global Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis and Probabilistic Human Risk Assessment. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Meta‐analysis and human risk assessment of radionuclides in milk. ABSTRACT This study conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of radionuclide concentrations of Cesium‐137 (Cs‐137), Cesium‐134 (Cs‐134), Iodine‐131 (I‐131), Lead‐210 (Pb‐210), and Potassium‐40 (K‐40) in milk worldwide, along with an assessment of human health risks, in accordance ...

Long-Term Consequences of the Chernobyl Radioactive Fallout: An Exploration of the Aggregate Data. [PDF]

Milbank Q, 2018
Context This study investigates the association between the radioactive 137Cesium fallout originated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident and dispersed over Western Europe, as a result of a combination of radioactive cloud passage days and rainy ...

Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukaemia incidence in regions of Belarus most heavily contaminated by the Chernobyl accident. [PDF]

Int J Cancer
What's new? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.

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 ...

Reconstruction of radio-ecological model parameters based on the results of monitoring the radiation situation in Mazovia after the Chernobyl accident (based on the «Warsaw» scenario of the IAEA EMRAS project)

Радиационная гигиена, 2020
The paper analyzes the consistency of the input data of the radioecological model: the results of measurements of 137Cs and 131I concentrations in the atmosphere after the Chernobyl accident in Warsaw, the meteo-data on precipitation during the main ...

Time-dependence of decontamination efficiency after a fallout of gamma-emitting radionuclides in suburban areas: a theoretical outlook on topsoil removal

Scientific Reports, 2022
Decontamination of urban areas may be necessary in the case of extensive fallout of radioactive material after a nuclear accident, as removal of contaminated soil and vegetation will significantly reduce doses for the residents in an area affected by ...

Global risk of radioactive fallout after major nuclear reactor accidents [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012
Major reactor accidents of nuclear power plants are rare, yet the consequences are catastrophic. But what is meant by "rare"? And what can be learned from the Chernobyl and Fukushima incidents?

Dosimetry of external population exposure: a comparison of the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents

Радиационная гигиена, 2020
The paper is devoted to comparing the models and the doses of the population external exposure from radioactive fallout after the accident at the Chernobyl and Fukushima-1 NPPs estimated with their help. In the case of the Fukushima-1 accident, the model
