  • Quantification of dry concentration factor for Cs-134 in marine diatom Thalassiosira Weissflogii

    Creator:
    Krzyaniak, Nathan Anthony
    Abstract:
    The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011 made it apparent that releases of fission products to marine environments is a very real possibility. Additional data on the movement of material through marine environments can be used by radioecology personnel to assist with both ecosystem protection as well as environmental cleanup...

    Dry Concentration Factor for Cs-134 in Thalassiosira

  • Foliar interception and uptake of ³⁶Cl by crops

    Creator:
    Bytwerk, David Paul
    Abstract:
    Greenhouse studies were conducted to determine interception, absorption, and translocation values for foliar applied ³⁶Cl. Foliar interception and uptake of contaminated irrigation water by crops is a major pathway for the transport of radionuclides to human beings in scenarios relevant to the waste disposal community. Performance assessments of many repositories...

  • Examination of uranium uptake by root vegetables and consequences for human consumption

    Creator:
    AlZahrani, Abdullah Bakheet
    Abstract:
    Uranium is the most common radionuclide that found in the nature. It is a radionuclide with a very low specific activity. There is limited data on plan uptake of uranium. This research was to determine the plant uptake of uranium, calculate the concentration ratio, and estimate the dose from eating...

  • Beehive model creation for use in determining radiation dose to beeswax and bee larvae

    Creator:
    Jia, Junwei
    Abstract:
    Honeybees and honey combs are good indicators of environmental contamination and can be important for dose calculations. In the event of reactor accidents and nuclear weapon testing, the released radioactive materials are likely to be transported through various environmental pathways as well as by humans and animals, including bees. Due...
