01.09 Radioactivity in Soils (Cesium-134 and Cesium-137) (Edition 1992)
The reactor accident at Chernobyl on 26 April 1986 dramatically demonstrated the dangers involved in man-made radioactivity. The Chernobyl catastrophe was incomparably larger than the reactor accident in Harrisburg, USA in 1979. Chernobyl released enormous amounts of radioactive substances. Wind and weather dynamics transported these substances and deposited them onto the earth as radioactive d...
متن کاملSpatial Variability and Cesium-137 Inventories in Native Forest
With the nuclear fission discovery and development of nuclear weapons in 1940s, artificial radioisotopes were introduced in the environment. This contamination is due to worldwide fallout by superficial nuclear tests realized from early 1950s to late 1970s by USA, former URSS, UK, France and China. One of theses radioisotopes that have been very studied is cesium-137. Cesium-137 has a half-life...
متن کاملApplication of Radioactive Fallout Cesium-137 for Measuring Soil Erosion and Sediment Accumulation Rates and Patterns: A Review
Radioactive fallout 137CS (cesium-137) deposited across the landscape from atmospheric nuclear tests is strongly absorbed on soil particles limiting its movement by chemical and biological processes. Most 137CS movement in the environment is by physical processes; therefore, 137CS is a unique tracer for studying erosion and sedimentation. Cesium-137 loss from a watershed has been shown to corre...
متن کاملDevelopment of urinary biomarkers for internal exposure by cesium-137 using a metabolomics approach in mice.
Cesium-137 is a fission product of uranium and plutonium in nuclear reactors and is released in large quantities during nuclear explosions or detonation of an improvised device containing this isotope. This environmentally persistent radionuclide undergoes radioactive decay with the emission of beta particles as well as gamma radiation. Exposure to (137)Cs at high doses can cause acute radiatio...
متن کاملAbsorbed radiation doses due to chronic ingestion of cesium-137 or strontium-90 by mice
The knowledge of the absorbed radiation dose is essential in order to interpret the results of animal experiments with chronic ingestion of radionuclides by rodents. In order to evaluate this absorbed dose, we applied the dose conversion factors proposed by ICRP publication 108 to mouse chronic ingestion experiments with 20 kBq.L-1 137Csor 90Sr-contaminated water. The results indicated that who...
