An introduction to serious nuclear accident chemistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
A review of the chemistry occurring inside a nuclear power plant during a serious reactor accident is presented. This includes some aspects of the behavior of nuclear fuel, its cladding, cesium and iodine. This review concentrates on the chemistry of an accident in a water-cooled reactor loaded with uranium dioxide or mixed metal oxide fuel. Subjects: Chemistry; Environmental Chemistry; Inorganic Chemistry

Recent Fukushima nuclear detonation, Chernobyl nuclear fallout, three mile island nuclear accident and atomic bomb explosion – rethinking the effects of nuclear radiations over human health
Background: The earlier Atomic Bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. The central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...
متن کاملAdsorption of Radioactive Materials by Green Microalgae Dunaliella Salina from Aqueous Solution
Introduction: Nuclear accidents release large quantities of radioactive materials into the environment. Iodine-131 and cesium-137 are two radionuclides released during nuclear accident, which can pose the greatest cancer risks. These radionuclides can be moved to other areas through rain and wind. The aim of this study was to develop efficient and economical biological...
متن کاملRole of Human Factor in Energy Conservation: Case of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant
Humans are an integral part of power plants, ranging from construction to routine maintenance. Analysis of the presence and performance of the human factor can play an effective role in reducing and/or optimizing the use of energy resources. Therefore, in this research the investigation of the plant operator's presence direction in order to control a type of accident with the implementation of ...

متن کاملالگوهای پراکندگی مواد پرتوزای رهاشده در اثر وقوع سوانح در نیروگاه های هسته ای اطراف ایران
Released radioactive materials from a nuclear power plant due to an accident can be transported to far regions by wind. Some models are available to predict the dispersion. This article reports some parts of the results of a research in which using one of the models, named HYSPLIT, to predict the dispersion of some isotopes of iodine and cesium released from ten nuclear power plant to the atmos...
