Particle Size Fractionation of Airborne Gamma-Emitting Radionuclides by Graded Filters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three filters in series were employed to separate into groups, according to size, the nuclear debris suspended in air at ground level. The concentrations of airborne Ce(144)-Pr(144), Sb(125), Cs(137), Zr(95)-Nb(95), Mn(54), and Ru(106)-Rh(106) in each size group were determined by gamma spectral analysis. Particles having diameters of less than 1.75 microns contained a minimum of 88 percent of the total activity.

Background: All human beings and living organisms are exposed to natural radiations on daily basis, which is mainly due to the activity concentration of primordial radionuclides 232Th, 238U and their products of decay together with the natural radionuclide 40K present in the earth’s crust. Materials and Methods: A total of 59 soil samples were collected around the banks and surroundings of the ...

Background: The presence of radionuclides in the soil, measures need to be taken to minimize the radiation dose to humans. It is mostly gamma-emitting radionuclides that contribute to the radiation dose in long term behavior of these radionuclides in soil may determine the extent to which such countermeasures need to be applied. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of these radionu...

متن کاملA Critical Review of Alpha Radionuclide Therapy—How to Deal with Recoiling Daughters?
This review presents an overview of the successes and challenges currently faced in alpha radionuclide therapy. Alpha particles have an advantage in killing tumour cells as compared to beta or gamma radiation due to their short penetration depth and high linear energy transfer (LET). Touching briefly on the clinical successes of radionuclides emitting only one alpha particle, the main focus of ...
متن کاملParticle size fractionation of soil containing coal and combusted particles
Standard procedure for dispersing natural soils for particle size fractionation can be too aggressive for soil containing coal and other organic particles from coal industries. We have investigated ultrasonic dispersion for the latter in four soils differing in pedogenesis (Phaeozem, Podzol, reclaimed mine soils), carbon content (27.5±138.6 g kg), clay content (80±153 g kg) and sources of parti...
