Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)
Over the years there have been many occasions when it was asserted that coal-fired power stations emitted more radioactivity (from NORM) than was released anywhere in the nuclear fuel cycle. While having some basis in fact the claim is generally not correct now. Today the contention regarding NORM tends to be in relation to steel and other materials released from demolished industrial facilitie...
متن کاملNaturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)
The main issue in view of NORM-impacted sites 1 is how such sites, e.g. radium contaminated sites, uranium liabilities, sites exploited for the mining of metals associated with NORM and wastes arising from industries processing or generating other kinds of NORM, are assessed and regulated. In view of the implementation of the new Basic Safety Standards (BSS), the regulations apply to the manage...
متن کاملRadiological Risk due to Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials in the Soil of Al-Samawah Desert, Al-Muthanna Governorate, Iraq
Introduction: The risk of radioactivity addresses human life directly. The natural rock radioactivity is mainly due to 232Th, 238U), and 40K series. Activities involving blasting, crushing, and processing of rocks into numerous pieces lead to release of radionuclides into the atmosphere in the form of dust particles. M...
متن کاملThe European Waste Catalogue – is it a good tool to raise awareness about Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials?
Since radiation risk is usually considered to be related to nuclear energy or atomic bomb, majority of researches on radiation protection has focused on artificial radionuclides and radioactive waste. Far less attention has been paid to radiation risk caused by exposure to ionizing radiation originating from naturally occurring radioactive materials despite the fact that their presence touches ...
متن کاملA century of oil and gas exploration in Albania: assessment of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORMs).
The Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORMs) that are potentially generated from oil and gas extractions in Albania have been disposed of without regulations for many decades, and therefore, an extensive survey in one of the most productive regions (Vlora-Elbasan) was performed. A total of 52 gamma ray spectrometry measurements of soil, oil-sand, sludge, produced water and crude oil sa...
