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

Assessment of heavy metals and radionuclides in dust fallout in the West Rand mining area of South Africa

Clean Air Journal, 2018
Windblown dust can contain radioactive materials from mining. These radionuclides when inhaled in dust produce ionizing radiation which damages the cells and tissues in the body.

Interception of the Fukushima reactor accident‐derived137Cs, 134Cs and 131I by coniferous forest canopies

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident resulted in extensive radioactive contamination of the surrounding forests. In this study, we analyzed fallout 137Cs, 134Cs, and 131I in rainwater, throughfall, and stemflow in coniferous forest ...

Zero‐Dimensional Perovskite‐Inspired Scintillator‐Based High‐Radiation‐Resistant Radionuclide Analyzer Free From Irreversible Degradation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A zero‐dimensional perovskite‐inspired scintillator (Cs3Cu2I5) is developed as a high‐radiation‐resilient radionuclide analyzer capable of operating under extreme γ‐ray environments. Even after 200 kGy irradiation, the device fully restores its original spectroscopic performance through simple thermal annealing, demonstrating intrinsic defect ...

Propagation Analysis of Pu Radionuclides as a Result of Fire Incidents in the Exclusion Zone of the Chernobyl NPP in April 2020

East European Journal of Physics, 2021
In consequence of nuclear accidents that have occurred in various parts of the world, radioactive contamination of the environment is observed. The risks of spreading pollution can increase during floods, fires and some natural disasters.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Contaminants in food chains of arctic ungulates: what have we learned from the Chernobyl accident?

Rangifer, 1998
The Chernobyl accidenr of 1986 caused radioactive contamination of widespread areas of reindeer pasture in Scandinavia. Reindeer {Rangifer tarandus) are especially exposed to radioactive fallout due to their wintet diet, of which lichens are an important

Fukushima and Ocean Radioactivity [PDF]

Oceanography, 2014
The triple disaster of the March 11, 2011, earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent radiation releases from Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant were unprecedented events for the ocean and society. In this article, the radioactive releases from this

Making the Case for Studying Business Law: A Teaching Note Providing a First Week Blueprint for First‐Time Instructors

Journal of Legal Studies Education, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 41-49, Winter 2026.
Abstract Most business students are not interested in becoming lawyers. Therefore, business law and legal environment instructors must convey why students should study business law. To assist instructors (especially first‐time ones), this teaching note presents interrelated pedagogical questions to introduce the first week of class.

Spatial Variability in Recent Phototroph Production in a Large, Fluvial Lake Driven by Local Land‐Use Changes (St. Lawrence River, Canada)

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Increases in lake production and the abundance of cyanobacteria have been reported in many temperate freshwater systems, with their rise typically attributed to elevated nutrient influx or climate change. On the St. Lawrence River (SLR), recent evidence suggests that cyanobacterial abundances have increased since ca. 2000, although the precise
