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 protection in North American naturally occurring radioactive material industries.
All soils and rocks contain naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). Many ores and raw materials contain relatively high levels of natural radionuclides, and processing such materials can further increase the concentrations of natural radionuclides, sometimes referred to as 'technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material' (TENORM). Examples of NORM minerals include ur...
متن کامل6 Equations of Radioactive Decay and Growth
The mathematical expressions presented in this chapter are generally applicable to all those processes in which the transition of the parent nucleus to a daughter nucleus , i.e. the process of radioactive decay, is governed by statistical chance. This chance of decay is equivalent to the degree of instability of the parent nucleus. Each radioactive nuclide has its specific degree of instability...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Radioactive Ingrowth and Decay of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials in the Environment: An Analysis of Produced Fluids from the Marcellus Shale
BACKGROUND The economic value of unconventional natural gas resources has stimulated rapid globalization of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. However, natural radioactivity found in the large volumes of "produced fluids" generated by these technologies is emerging as an international environmental health concern. Current assessments of the radioactivity concentration in liquid waste...
