Review Microwave Processing of Materials : Part I

Microwave processing of materials is a relatively new technology alternative that provides new approaches for enhancing material properties as well as economic advantages through energy savings and accelerated product development. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of microwave technologies, processing methods and industrial applications. The characteristics of microwave interactions...

The Transport of Radioactive Materials

All of these materials are transported on land, sea or in the air in compliance with regulations which are now universally based on the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials Ref. [1]. These regulations are designed to ensure adequate protection of transport workers, the public and the environment against the hazards of external radiation, the spread of radioactive con...

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...
