Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome
We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

Corrosion experiments were performed on a ferrito‐pearlitic and a ferritic steel in a synthetic solution representing the Callovo‐Oxfordian porewater during a month at 120°C. Corrosion product layers (CPLs) were characterized from micro to nanoscale in terms of morphology, composition, and structure.

From nuclear physics to applications: detectors for beam handling, medical diagnostics and radioactive waste monitoring [PDF]
Nuclear physics experiments are always in need of more and more advanced detection systems. During the last years relevant technological developments have come out with many improvements in terms of performance and compactness of detector materials, transducers, electronics, computing and data transmission.

Observation of periodic fluctuations in the dose rate of gamma-radiation in the Chornobyl exclusion zone [PDF]
The structure of signals from detectors for monitoring the gamma-background around the Chornobyl NPP was considered. It is shown that they are not random, they contain certain regular components.

Experimental approach for understanding the dynamic behaviors of bentonite buffer piping erosion
In Japan, as in other countries, bentonite-based buffer materials are expected to play roles in reducing stress from rock masses and mitigating nuclide migration in the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste.

Parallel groundwater flow simulation method based on a discrete fracture network model
Objective Groundwater flow in fractured rocks has strong heterogeneity and anisotropy. The discrete fracture network (DFN) method has been internationally considered as one of the most reasonable and effective methods to describe the fracture water ...
