Beyond electricity generation: Nuclear power plants as circular chemical manufacturing hubs for plastic waste valorization

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Large nuclear power plants have traditionally been regarded as facilities dedicated to electricity generation. This study proposes a systems‐level concept in which they function as circular chemical manufacturing hubs integrating plastic waste valorization, hydrogen production, carbon utilization, and downstream polymer synthesis within a ...

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

Cartographing of "spots" of radioactive pollution

open access: yesNuclear and Radiation Safety, 2018
The methodology was proposed and the algorithm was developed for mapping and delineating the "spots" of radioactive contamination territory by the 137Cs. The methodology is based on the principle of multi-stage (successive approximations) widely used in geological surveys.
