An Review Article on Radioactive Pollution
Radioactive pollution is defined as the increase in the natural radiation levels caused by human activities. The human activities that can release radiation involve activities with radioactive materials such as mining, handling and processing of radioactive materials, handling and storage of radioactive waste, as well as the use of radioactive ...

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.

Scavenging of Soluble Radioactive Gases by Evaporating Rain Droplets from Inhomogeneous Atmosphere
We analyze effects of inhomogeneous concentration and temperature distributions in the atmosphere, rain droplet evaporation and radioactive decay of soluble gases on the rate of trace gas scavenging by rain.

Role of Unsaturated Zone on Aquifer Leakage–Assessed With Tidal Response
Abstract Tidal response analysis is widely used to evaluate aquifer systems, but traditional models that neglect the unsaturated zone often underestimate groundwater leakage. This study develops a new analytical model for tidal analysis that incorporates unsaturated zone effects and explained leakage patterns that traditional models could not resolve ...

Compact Storage of Radioactive Cesium in Compressed Pellets of Zeolite Polymer Composite Fibers
To facilitate the safe storage of radioactive Cs, a zeolite–poly(ethersulfone) composite fiber was fabricated to be a compact storage form of radioactive Cs, and an immobilization was investigated with respect to the effects of volume reduction and
