background: the aims of the study are to determine the radioactivity concentrations of 226ra, 238u, 232th and 40k in vegetables of a recently found high background radiation area of south-eastern part of bangladesh and to detect the radiological risks to human from intake of these vegetables. materials and method: 10 plant samples were collected randomly from different locations of the study ar...

in this work, 137cs activity concentration of soil in five depths and in six meteorology stations in terms of bq/kg has been measured. for each thirty soil's samples, parameters such as kind of soil, density and hydraulic coefficient of transmission were determined. correlation coefficient between 137cs activity concentration and raining average, hydraulic coefficient of transmission and s...

introduction natural and man made radioactive sources exist in our environment they can enter into our food chains. one of these is the soil-mushroom-human chain. high level doses of natural radiation can cause hazards to humans. materials and methods samples of agaricus bisporus cultivated edible mushroom in tehran province- iran were collected from 7 farms. specific activity of 226ra, 228ra, ...

The performance of the Radionuclide Aerosol Sampler/Analyzer (RASA) under high-activity conditions has been evaluated to maintain and protect operations International Monitoring System (IMS) radionuclide stations. Station measurements following Fukushima Daichi accident 11 March 2011 have combined with laboratory understand how quality made using RASA High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma-spectrom...

BACKGROUND Detection of buried improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is a delicate task, leading to a need to develop sensitive stand-off detection technology. The shape, composition and size of the IEDs can be expected to be revised over time in an effort to overcome increasingly sophisticated detection methods. As an example, for the most part, landmines are found through metal detection which ...

The results of the development modern precision monitors alpha, beta and gamma ray radiation for setting up early warning systems radioactive contamination in atmosphere rapid assessment emerging threats, are presented. Proportional counters, scintillation SrI (Eu) crystals semiconductor Si, CdZnTe, HPGe detectors used 2 development. designed provide information both on dose rate values real ti...
