The use of stable Cs and Sr as proxies for the estimation of radionuclide soil-plant transfer factors [PDF]
Transfer factors are key inputs for modelling the transport of radionuclides in the environment and for assessment of risk to humans and wildlife. However, for many combinations of soil conditions, plant species (products), and radionuclides, such ...

Sorption of strontium on the composite sorbent based on cellulose and hydrated antimony pentoxide
In this study cellulose-inorganic sorbents based on bleached cotton fibres and hydrated antimony pentoxide were prepared and used for strontium ions sorption from model aqueous solutions. The adsorption of strontium ions was determined by the radiotracer

Seaweed against strontium and preussian blue against cesium
The fact that alginates bind strontium and cyanates bind cesium and are capable of removing these elements from living organisms is scientifically verified. Zeolites offer another possibility for exchange of these ions.

Assessment of strontium in the Savannah River Site environment [PDF]
This document on strontium is published as a part of the Radiological Assessment Program (RAP). It is the sixth in a series of eight documents on individual radioisotopes released to the environment as a result of SRS (Savannah River Site) operations ...

Introduction – A radioactive contamination needs to be quantified in case it eventually occurs. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that the operating conditions of a surface contamination monitor are characterized by determining its detection efficiency.

REE fractionation during granite weathering and removal by waters and suspended loads: Sr and Nd isotopic evidence [PDF]
Very few studies deal with REE (rare earth element) mobility within the system soil–soil solution–streamwater. In this article, we try to characterize the fractionation and the migration of the REE in a granite-derived soil system located in a small ...

Anthropogenic radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr in the southern Baltic Sea ecosystem
The radioisotopes of caesium (137Cs) and strontium (90Sr) make the greatestcontribution to the radioactivity level due to artificial radionuclides in the BalticSea, where the level of 137Cs contamination is higher than in any otherpart of the world ocean.

Comparative analysis of 11 different radioisotopes for palliative treatment of bone metastases by computational methods [PDF]
Purpose: Throughout the years, the palliative treatment of bone metastases using bone seeking radiotracers has been part of the therapeutic resources used in oncology, but the choice of which bone seeking agent to use is not consensual across sites and ...

Strontium iodide instrument development for gamma spectroscopy and radioisotope identification
Development of the Europium-doped Strontium Iodide scintillator, SrI2(Eu2+), has progressed significantly in recent years. SrI2(Eu2+) has excellent material properties for gamma ray spectroscopy: high light yield (

Discrimination of Calcium and Strontium by the Kidney
Skeletal retention and excretion of strontium were directly compared with those of calcium, by injecting solutions containing both radioisotopes, Ca45 and Sr90, into rats and rabbits.
