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...

Diffusion of selected radionuclides through Hanford Trench 8 soil material

Creator:

Schwab, Kristen E.

Abstract:

Shallow land burial in vadose zone sediment at the Hanford Site in Washington is being considered for the disposal of Category 3 low-level waste. A series of column experiments were conducted to evaluate and model the performance of the soil surrounding the trench encasement material for iodine-129 and technetium-99 by...
