Development of a functional prototype of an environmental risk assessment parameter database on the World-Wide Web

Creator:: Potter, Nathan Kent
Abstract:: The goal of the project was to develop a functional prototype of an environmental risk assessment parameter database on the World-Wide Web. The ability to develop a consolidated environmental database has become possible due to the phenomenal growth of the Internet and the World-Wide Web over the past few years....

A study of residual Cesium 137 contamination in southwestern Utah soil following the nuclear weapons tests at the Nevada Test Site in the 1950's and 1960's

Creator:: Bentley, R. Blair
Abstract:: The Nevada Test Site (NTS) was the location for at least 100 above ground Nuclear Weapons tests during the 1950's and early 1960's. Radioactive fallout from these tests spread to many areas north and west of the NTS. According to estimates from the NCI and DOE, Washington County, Utah was...

Development and Application of Voxelized Dosimetric Models for Biota : Characterization of the Uncertainty in the International Commission on Radiological Protection's Wildlife Dosimetry System

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: A system for radiological dosimetry for nonhuman biota developed by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) relies on calculations that utilize the Monte Carlo simulations of simple, ellipsoidal geometries with internal radioactivity distributed homogeneously throughout. In this manner it is quick and easy to estimate whole-body dose rates to biota....

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...

Environmental pathway analysis of a radioactive zirconium sand uploading facility

Creator:: Miller, Robert E.
Abstract:: The Teledyne Wah Chang facility is a manufacturer of the rare metal zirconium. The facility has been in constant production since 1956. In 1973 an attempt to utilize different sand ore sources from Nigeria and India in a new carbiding process, prior to chlorination, failed. The resulting byproducts of the...

Post-accident radiocesium uptake in eastern Oregon wheat crops : A preliminary estimate using a modified "PATHWAY" model

Creator:: Palotay, Joshua A.
Abstract:: An experimental environmental uptake model was developed for the purpose of estimating the final harvest concentration of contaminant following an acute accidental release of radiocesium onto an eastern Oregon winter wheat crop. The system was developed using the PATHWAY environmental uptake model as presented by Whicker and Kirchner (1987) for...

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...

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...
