Life‐cycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with nuclear power generation in the United States

Journal of Industrial Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, tax credits of up to $3/kgH2 are available to hydrogen producers if they generate emissions at levels below 0.45 kgCO2e/kgH2, spurring producers to explore how hydrogen production via electrolysis using electricity generated by nuclear power may qualify for such tax credits.

Life at new extremes: Integrating stress physiology and the bio‐exposome in the Anthropocene

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
We propose to expand the concept of extreme environments to encompass those that are profoundly altered by climate and global changes, highlight the critical role of stress resilience in understanding how the exposome interacts with intracellular processes (bio‐exposome) in wildlife, emphasize how such interactions are relevant to the human bio ...

RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION OF THE GROUNDWATER IN ZHITOMIR REGION

WATER AND WATER PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL NEWS, 2011
Особливе місце у забрудненні навколишнього середовища займає радіоактивне забруднення. Унаслідок аварії на Чорнобильській АЕС радіоактивно забрудненими виявилися території багатьох областей України. У даній статті подані результати дослідження радіаційної забрудненості підземних вод Житомирської області, а також зазначені проблеми, пов’язані із цим ...

Using $^{26}$Al to detect ongoing self-enrichment in young massive star clusters [PDF]

arXiv
Self-enrichment is one of the leading explanations for chemical anomalies in globular clusters. In this scenario, various candidate polluter stars have been proposed to eject gas with altered chemical composition during the self-enrichment process. Most of the proposed polluters will also eject radioactive $^{26}$Al into the surroundings.

Application of cyanobacteria in radioactive waste

Brazilian Journal of Development
The extremely toxic radioactive wastes whose radioactivity persists for thousands of years are accumulated through nuclear power plants, mining companies, industries, and research centers, among others.

The Yenisei Makes the Weather: The Microclimate of the Krasnoyarsk Dam and Its Research, 1960s–1990s

The Russian Review, Volume 84, Issue 2, Page 249-266, April 2025.
Abstract When Soviet authorities began building the Krasnoyarsk Dam in 1956, the Yenisei River had an ice‐free period of only 112 days a year. The thick and long‐lasting ice impeded dam building and navigation. However, as the dam rose, it produced an environmental anomaly; for more than 200 kilometers downstream, the Yenisei became ice‐free year‐round.

Mining an Anthropocene in Japan: On the making and work of geological imaginaries

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This article addresses how the lithic and the drift might be reworked as an Anthropocene material outside of a chronostratigraphy. Revisiting the finding of a floating fern fossil at the Hashima mine, we delve into a complex array of Geological imaginaries, and undertake our own speculative work.

Investigating radioactivity in soil samples from neutral and vegetation land of Punjab/India [PDF]

arXiv
In this work, radioactivity investigations of soil samples from neutral and agricultural sites in Punjab/India have been carried out to study the impact of land use patterns. The analysis of radiological, mineralogical, physicochemical, and morphological attributes of soil samples has been performed employing state-of-the-art techniques.

Modelling Air Pollution Crises Using Multi-agent Simulation [PDF]

Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Jan 2016, Kauai, United States, 2019
This paper describes an agent based approach for simulating the control of an air pollution crisis. A Gaussian Plum air pollution dispersion model (GPD) is combined with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the concentration levels of three different air pollutants.
