The existence of a Coal - Fired Power Plant (CFPP) is suspected to affect the environment quality, especially increment natural radionuclides content which found in coal as raw material. Therefore, systematic analysis ( 210 Pb, 234 Th, 238 U, 228 RA, 40 K, 226 RA and 232 Th) water, soil , plant were conducted establish data base o f environmental contamination area around CFPP. This research wa...

This paper reports the results of a study performed for the Oregon Department of Energy. The objectives of the study were to characterize the range of radioactive material shipments through the state and to determine the worst radiological hazards which might arise if these shipments were involved in transportation accidents. The direct and indirect radiological hazards were analyzed for worst ...

The activity concentration of gross alpha and gross beta particles in four samples of borehole drinking water consumed in Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai, Niger State-Nigeria was measured, using a portable single channel gas free proportional counter (MPC2000B-DP) detector. This study focused on cancer related problems and the bio-data of the environment was discussed as wel...

Recent world events have increased concern that hospitals must be prepared for radiological emergencies. Emergency departments (EDs) must be ready to treat patients suffering from injuries in combination with radiation exposure or contamination with radioactive material. Every hospital should have a Radiological Emergency Medical Response Plan, tested through periodic drills, which will allow e...

Background: The new glasses from harmful environmental waste such as cement dust; limestone phosphate, sand and borax (Genkare) were manufactured. Investigation of the radioactivity present in these materials (Phosphate rock, cement dust, limestone, sand and borax) enables one to assess any possible radiological hazard to humankind by such materials. Materials and Methods: Fifteen samples were ...

this paper presents the current activities on radiation protection in iran. according to the atomic energy organization law of iran the radiological safety is ascribed to the atomic energy organization of iran (a e o i) and the radiation protection department (r p d) is the responsible organ within aeoi. r p d since it's establishment in 1975, with the aim to ensure the protection of man and hi...

Arranged from oldest to youngest, the main granitic rock units exposed in Khour Abalea are metagabbros, cataclastic rocks, ophiolitic melange, pegmatite and lamprophyre dykes. The presence of radioactivity associated with heavy bearing minerals construction materials—like granite—increased interest extraction process. As it turns out, rocks play an important economic part examination area’s sur...
