An analysis of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program sampling results from the Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, dairy herd milk, post-Fukushima

Creator:: Treinen, Richard M.
Abstract:: This study focuses on iodine-131 detected in milk samples from the Dairy Science Unit at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, California following events at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in March of 2011. The samples were collected as part of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCPP) Radiological Environmental...

Advancements in Phytoremediation, Dosimetry, and Environmental Radiological Protection: Integrating Endemic Plants, Anatomically Accurate Phantoms, and Real-world Data for Improved Assessments

Creator:: Hargraves, Joshua T.
Abstract:: The environmental impact of the nuclear industry has prompted the need for innovative remediation strategies and accurate radiological assessments. This paper synthesizes three studies that collectively explore the potential of endemic plant species for phytoremediation, the development of anatomically accurate phantoms for precise dosimetry calculations, and the critical evaluation of...

Establishment of concentration ratios for riparian and shrub steppe areas of the eastern Washington Columbia basin

Creator:: Napier, Jonathan Bamberger
Abstract:: Concentration ratios are used to determine the transfer of nuclides from soil to biota to fauna. Some nuclides have limited associated data though, this has not prevented predictions from being performed at sites without associated data. These ratios are site specific and are not fully applicable when applied to other...

Modeling of an Urban Radiocesium Pathway from Catchment to Wastewater Treatment Sludge

Creator:: Ng, George M. H.
Abstract:: The urban hydrology and hydraulics program, US EPA SWMM 5, has been coupled with a compartment model of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the system dynamics software, STELLA, to simulate the radiocesium pathway from urban catchment to the wastewater treatment sludge. Two literature case studies were re-examined. Firstly, a...

Use of GIS software to map contaminant distributions and determine integrated dose for purposes of assessing impact to biota

Creator:: Myers, Margaret C.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to estimate the radiological impact on various non-human biotas by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant radiation release resulting from Japan's tsunami in March 2011 consistent with the recent recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Soil concentration data given by Japan's Ministry...

Butterfly Puddling: An Alternative Cs-137 Pathway to the Pale Grass Blue Butterfly Following the Fukushima Nuclear Accident

Creator:: Hermann, David A.
Abstract:: Environmental modeling as a result of the Fukushima accident has been at the forefront for present day health physics. The accident released radionuclides in the environment and the fate and transport of these radionuclides are of interest when considering doses to non-human biota. The Pale Grass Blue Butterfly was studied...

Improvements in the dosimetric models of selected benthic organisms

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animal and plant (RAP) species using simple geometric shapes in Monte–Carlo (MCNP) based simulations. The focus has now shifted to creating voxel phantoms of each RAP to advance the understanding of radiation interactions in nonhuman biota. The work contained...

Comparison of dosimetric modeling of the International Commission on Radiological Protection trout reference animal

Creator:: Comolli, Michelle LeAnne
Abstract:: Radiation protection has historically been from a human protection approach, therefore many studies have neglected the potential dose contribution from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in animal studies. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) utilized simplified geometric shapes with Dose Conversion Factors (DCF) based on homogenized models for the trout...

Comparison of total dose to individuals from temperate and arid environments

Creator:: Elmore, Brockway F., II
Abstract:: This paper analyzes the decision-making process utilized in temperate environments for building nuclear facilities and whether it was going to be applicable to nuclear facilities built in arid environments. To answer this question, the total dose to individuals from arid and temperate environments were compared using RESRAD-OFFSITE and changing the...

A comparison of deterministic and probabilistic radiation dose assessments at three fictitious ¹³⁷Cs contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida

Creator:: Brock, Terry A.
Abstract:: Two methods of radiation dose assessment were evaluated for the Cs-137 in soil ⇒ leafy vegetable ⇒ human consumption exposure pathway at three fictitious contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida. An annual dose equation was developed and per USEPA risk assessment guidelines, traditional, single point annual dose estimates were...
