Landscape control of uranium and thorium in boreal streams – spatiotemporal variability and the role of wetlands [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 The concentrations of uranium and thorium in ten partly nested streams in the boreal forest region were monitored over a two-year period. The investigated catchments ranged from small headwaters (0.1 km<sup>2</sup>) up to a fourth-order ...

Synergistic damage behavior of He ion irradiation and molten salt corrosion in SiC at 750 °C
Journal of Advanced CeramicsCVD SiC samples exposed to 400 keV He ion irradiation at 750 °C were subsequently corroded in FLiNaK molten salt at 750 °C for 166 h. After corrosion, the dissolution of Si led to the formation of a carbon-rich layer and obvious denudation of the SiC ...

Thorium and fetal neural tube defects: an epidemiological evidence from large case-control study
Genes and Environment, 2021 Background Thorium is ubiquitous in the environment and its relationship with birth defects is still under discussion. This study aimed to investigate the associations of maternal exposure to thorium with risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) by using a ...
