Radon and radioactivity at a town overlying Uranium ores in northern Greece.
Extensive measurements of (222)Rn in the town of Xanthi in N Greece show that the part of the town overlying granite deposits and the outcrop of a uranium ore has exceptionally high indoor radon levels, with monthly means up to 1500 Bq m(-3). A large number of houses (40%) in this part of the town exhibit radon levels above 200 Bq m(-3) while 11% of the houses had radon levels above 400 Bq m(-3...
متن کاملIn-situ gamma-ray mapping of environmental radioactivity at iThemba LABS and associated risk assessment
In-situ and ex-situ measurements of environmental radioactivity were made on the iThemba LABS (iTL) grounds in South Africa. The MEDUSA and HPGe detector systems were used to make insitu and ex-situ measurements, respectively. The MEDUSA was mounted ∼0.5m above the ground on a 4× 4 vehicle to traverse [at ∼2m · s−1] the accessible portions of the iTL grounds. Spatial data (via a GPS receiver) w...
متن کاملEstimation of Distribution Coefficient of Uranium and its correlation with soil parameters around Turamdih Uranium Tailings Pond
Predicting the transfer of radionuclides in the environment for normal release, accidental, disposal or remediation scenarios, in order to assess exposure, requires the availability of important generic parameter values. One of the key parameters in environmental assessment, is the solid liquid distribution coefficient, K d , which is used to predict radionuclide–soil interaction and subsequent...
متن کاملNatural Radioactivity in Miscanthus floridulu Plant from the Uranium Tailing Pile at Guangdong, South China
Large amounts of uranium waste rocks and tailings resulting from the exploitation and treatment of uranium ore at the Northern Guangdong mine (South China) have been accumulated in dams (tailing ponds). To reduce the dispersion of natural radionuclides into the environment, some dams were revegetated with arbor, bush and sward. Besides these plants, Miscanthus floridulu is the dominant plant gr...
متن کاملDose assessment and measurement of radon concentration in water supplies of Borujerd County in Iran
Background: Radon as a potential risk of radiation exposure is a natural radioactive element that can emit from rocks and soils. Due to solubility in water, it can be inhaled or consumed by the public. The purpose of this study was carrying out measurement and evaluation of radon concentration in samples of drinking water which are collected from water supplies of Borujerd. Materials and Method...
