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 ...

introduction: one of the sources of natural occurring radiation was soils. the purpose of article was to determine soil pollution by radiation absorbed dose rate, radium equivalent activity, external hazard index, annual gonad dose equivalent and annual effective dose equivalent. methods & materials: the soil samples was located in chahbahar city in blouchestan of iran, was chosen for studying ...

In this work, we tested whether plastic scintillation (PS) is a suitable alternative to liquid scintillation (LS) and Cerenkov techniques for beta emitter detection. The main advantage of this alternative is the reduction of mixed waste produced as consequence of the measurement process. In addition, the quality parameters obtained with PS are as reliable as those obtained with LS and allow det...

The review article discusses the main issues of creating and using modern chelated microfertilizers based on trace elements in agricultural production. Issues role microelements vital activity living organisms methods overcoming lack micro­elements plants are highlighted. An overview coordination compounds 3d-metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co, Ni, Mo) with different classes complexons, features their ...

The objectives of the study are to examine radiation and health physics situation in area ship repair enterprises servicing ships with nuclear power installation; assess its possible impact on environment population. Materials research methods. territory was conducted by walking gamma survey using portable spectrometric complexes MKS-01A "Multirad-gamma" MKS-AT6101C. Gamma-spectrometric radioch...

Background: The Ural region is highlighted among other Russian regions for its unfavorable radiation situation and complexity of the overall environmental situation. The source of man-made radioactive contamination is the work of the "Mayak" Production Association. A significant radioactive contamination has happened as a result of several radiation incidents in the early period ...
