Life-shortening effects of radiological weapons in military operations

The Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation: Applications, Methodology, Technology, 2021
Military operations can present risks whose origins may be unconventional. As an example, we can mention those within the spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense. This study evaluates, through a computer simulation, an operation in which soldiers face radiological contamination after the triggering of a radiological ...

Radionuclides in marine sediment

Pure and Applied Chemistry
Most contaminants in the sea originate from land sources. Radionuclides in sea water are transported by sea currents. Marine sediment is a physical trap for pollutants that are introduced to the environment and play an important role in radiological ...
