Marine sediments as a radioactive pollution repository in the world [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2013
During a time period little longer than 60 years, it has been created a radioactive pollution background over the natural one, which started in 1945 and it has been growing up since then, due to several nuclear tests, minor nuclear reactors failure and four major accidents: Wind Scale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Dispersion of radioactive pollution in surface water

Ecological Modelling, 1984
Abstract A mathematical description of the dispersion of radioactive pollution in surface water is presented based on a discussion of the phenomena, which influence it. A differential equation in the general form is obtained and simplified to give the most convenient solution for the investigation of radioactive doses during normal operation of the ...

Radioactive Pollution

2002
Radiation that, on passage through matter, produces ions by knocking electrons out of their orbits is called ionizing radiation. This radiation is produced through decomposition of unstable, naturally occurring or synthetic elements referred to as radionuclides. The four types of radiation are ∝-particles, β-particles, γ-rays, and neutrons.

Geosystem pollution by radioactive strontium near a regional radioactive waste repository

Water Resources, 2016
Radioecological studies were carried out in a territory polluted by 90Sr delivered by groundwater after leakage from a tank in a near-surface radioactive waste repository. The layer-by-layer vertical distribution of 90Sr in soil down to 3 m is analyzed.

Des bio-indicateurs de pollution radioactive

Biofutur, 2000
Des plantes transgeniques sont a l'origine de nouvelles methodes d'evaluation de la genotoxicite des eaux et des sols radioactifs ou chimiquement pollues. Ces tests presentent l'avantage de la simplicite, ce qui en fait des outils de choix pour les etudes environnementales.

Determination of radioactive pollution from an open landfill

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2005
This paper presents a case study of radioactive pollution of groundwater caused by leachate from an open landfill. Alpha- and beta-radioactivity analysis of the leachate from different points in the region and associated fountain water from a village down stream were carried out during four seasons. The alpha- and beta-radioactivity concentrations were

Meteorological Aspects of Radioactivity Pollution

1959
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews that radioactivity is well recognized as an inevitable concomitant of life today and also as a potentially deleterious factor. Meteorological processes are of considerable importance in determining the extent of radiation exposure from airborne radioactivity, whether it arises from the naturally occurring radon ...

Experience with airborne detection of radioactive pollution (ENMOS, IRIS)

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2004
This paper discusses the advantages of airborne monitoring of radioactive pollution and shows example maps indicating manmade pollution from different sources. The sensitivity of airborne radioactive detection is discussed. Comparisons of airborne and different ground measurements are presented.
