Decontamination and Decommissioned Small Nuclear AIP Hybrid Systems Submarines

Being equipped with small reactor AIP is the trend of conventional submarine power in 21st century as well as a real power revolution in conventional submarine. Thus, the quantity of small reactor AIP Submarines is on the increase, and its decommissioning and decontamination will also become a significant international issue. However, decommissioning the small reactor AIP submarines is not only...

Laboratory activities involving transmissible spongiform encephalopathy causing agents

Since the appearance in 1986 of epidemic of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a new form of neurological disease in cattle which also affected human beings, many diagnostic and research activities have been performed to develop detection and therapeutic tools. A lot of progress was made in better identifying, understanding and controlling the spread of the disease by appropriate monitorin...

A Portable HPGe System for Measuring Contaminated Soils and Floors

Decontamination and decommissioning (D & D) requires the characterization of large surface areas such as soils, walls, and floors. To address the identification and quantification of radioactive material in these problematic surroundings, a portable high-resolution gamma-spectrometry system has been developed. The system was tested using the calibrated concrete slabs at Grand Junction, Colorado...
