Sorption of Radiocesium by Active Silica

Health Physics, 1984
Cement and cement components have previously been shown to exhibit negligible sorption for cesium. Pyrogenic silica has been examined as an additive to cement materials for its ability to reduce the leachability of cesium and to provide a host material with permanent sorption sites.

Radiocesium in Children from Belarus

Health Physics, 1994
The body burdens of 137Cs were measured in 74 children from Belarus who had been exposed to fallout from the Chernobyl accident. The children were between the ages of 8 and 12 y old and were visiting the Ottawa area during the summers of 1991 and 1992.

Radiocesium contamination in Belgium

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 1998
Radiocesium contamination of air, rain, grass, milk and humans in Belgium from the late 1950s to present was measured. The main sources of fallout were atmospheric nuclear weapons tests and the Chernobyl accident; in Belgium the average impact of the first on the human body burden was more than six times higher.

Sorption of Radiocesium by Soil

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 1963
AbstractThe sorption of radiocesium (Cs‐134) by seven different samples of soil has been studied over a wide pH range (0–14). In general, the sorption is excellent except in the low pH region. The presence of 0.01 N Na +, Mg++, Ca++, Sr++, Ba++ and Al+++ does not seem to influence either the uptake of radiocesium by, or the extraction of the sorbed ...

Radiocesium decontamination of a riverside in Fukushima, Japan

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2017
Extensive decontamination measures have been implemented in the area affected by the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear disaster. Typical decontamination measures, such as removing topsoil of several centimeters in depth, are not suitable for rivers where contaminated sediments have been deposited.

Prussian Blue for Treatment of Radiocesium Poisoning

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2001
Prussian blue is a crystal lattice that exchanges potassium for cesium at the surface of the crystal. When given orally, it binds cesium that is secreted in the gut before it can be reabsorbed. Data suggest that in humans, Prussian blue can reduce cesium's half‐life by approximately 43% and reduce total body burdens.

Long-term Retention of Radiocesium by Man

Health Physics, 1962
The Los Alamoa 4 pi liquid scintillation counter (Humco I) was used to measure whole-body retention of radiocesium in four adult male subjects. Two subjects were measured for about 550 days and one for 940 days. The whole-body retention data were reduced into two-component exponential equatlons by a curve- fitting method programmed for an IBM Model 704

Radiocesium uptake in reindeer on natural pasture

Science of The Total Environment, 1989
In an experiment initiated after the Chernobyl accident, a herd of reindeer was followed before and after a temporary move from a highly contaminated area (greater than 20 kBq 137 Cs/m2) to a less contaminated area (less than 3 kBq 137Cs/m2) of natural pasture.

Radiocesium Contamination at a Steel Plant in Ireland

Health Physics, 1996
Radioactive sources have been inadvertently incorporated into consignments of scrap metal in various locations throughout the world. In 1990, a 3.7 GBq 137 Cs source, due for transfer from a Scottish industrial establishment to one in England, was mistakenly included in a scrap consignment destined for Irish Steel, a metal recycling plant in County ...

Radiocesium in the Savannah River Site Environment

Health Physics, 1994
The Savannah River Site has produced plutonium, tritium, and other special nuclear materials for national defense, other government programs, and some civilian purposes. Radiocesium, a waste product, has been released to the environment during the operation of five reactors, two radio-chemical processing facilities, and a high-level waste storage ...
