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

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,

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?
