Rapid Determination of Strontium-90 in Highly Radioactive Solutions of Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Plant.

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 ...

Force-feedback teleoperation of an industrial robot in a nuclear spent fuel reprocessing plant

Purpose – Aims to make an industrial robot work as a telemanipulator with force feedback, in order to carry out various tasks for remote handling in nuclear fuel cycle plants. Design/methodology/approach – The robot STABLI RX170 (used as a slave arm) has been fitted with a force-torque sensor and an electronic system for sensors’ signals multiplexing. The overall system has been made tolerant ...

determination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator

due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...

Costs of Reprocessing Versus Directly Disposing of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Synthesis and Characterization of γ-MnO2-AgA Zeolite Nanocomposite and its Application for the Removal of Radioactive Strontium-90 (90Sr)

In this scientific research, for the first time, the removal of radioactive strontium-90 (90Sr) by γ-MnO2-AgA zeolite as a novel nanocomposite adsorbent was accomplished under different conditions such as pH, temperature, adsorbent amount and the contact time that are examined from drinking water of Ramsar city and monitored via Ultra Low-Level Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) technique.
