Radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium: two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis

The present nuclear leakage crisis from Japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. In radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. Here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. Based on previous similar nuclear crisis in Russia, it ...

A novel integrated approach for the hazardous radioactive dust source terms estimation in future nuclear fusion power plants

An open issue still under investigation by several international entities working on the safety and security field for the foreseen nuclear fusion reactors is the estimation of source terms that are a hazard for the operators and public, and for the machine itself in terms of efficiency and integrity in case of severe accident scenarios. Source term estimation is a crucial key safety issue to b...

Radioactive regions detection

In this bachelor thesis, which is a part of the project RadioRoSo, we examine and analyze waste from Magnox power plants. These power plants were mostly situated in the Great Britain and they were operated between 1956 and 2015. The analyzed waste mainly consists of pieces of Magnox alloy AL80. Springs from alloy Nimonic 80A are also present in the waste and they are considered to be highly rad...
