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...

Diversity, Generalization, and Specialization in Plant-Pollinator Networks of Montane Meadows, Western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Helderop, Edward
Abstract:: Despite the importance of plant-pollinator interactions for ecological communities, few long-term observational studies have been conducted of plant-pollinator networks. Using four years of plant-pollinator interaction data from 18 meadows in the Willamette National Forest, Oregon, this thesis examined how meadow size, the amount of nearby meadow habitat, weather, degree days,...

How clean is coal : coal power plant ash pond regulations compared to nuclear reactor decommissioning standards

Creator:: Williams, Manuel P.
Abstract:: Coal power is the prominent source of energy in the United States (U.S.) and around the world. The byproducts of coal power contain many of the same radioactive nuclides that are found in the local environment just in higher concentrations. With so much of this ash being stockpiled, the amount...

Evaluating the presence of radium-226 in soil surrounding a coal-fired power plant using the multi-agency radiation survey and site investigation manual (MARSSIM)

Creator:: Herring, Thomas A. (Thomas Andrew)
Abstract:: Coal-fired power plants constitute a significant source of energy production for the United States, and are projected to do so for decades to come. Most of the scrutiny coal-fired power plants receive is in the form of environmental concerns regarding green house gas emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and...

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...

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...

Archaeological Textile Fragments Present an Opportunity In the Study of Social and Landscape Interactions

Creator:: Lopez, Kirsten M.
Abstract:: Textiles (including basketry, cordage, woven, knotted, or plaited products) make up a considerable portion of the perishable archaeological record in dry caves of the northern Great Basin region, much of which is created from plants and plant fibers. The archaeological study of precontact textiles greatly informs our understanding of how...

Developing Software Tools to Characterize Electrochemical Loss Scenarios via Gamma Detection for Various Measurement Points, Source Geometries, and Process Times

Creator:: Harris, Noah C.
Abstract:: Faithful modeling of the expected gamma signals inside an electrochemical facility at various key measurement points is important for understanding what detection limits are available for the next generation of safeguards technologies. Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software (GADRAS) and the Separation Safeguards Performance Model (SSPM) were used to build...

On the mechanism transition of power transient critical heat flux

Creator:: Yan, Yikuan
Abstract:: The reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) accident has stirred wide interest for the need of designing advanced and high tolerance fuels for next generation nuclear power plants. For pressurized water reactors (PWRs), the accidentally induced reactivity pulse adds transient energy input to the fuel. As a result, boiling may happen locally. Boiling...

Comparison of Attila SN Particle Transport Code with MCNP in the Analysis of Small Modular Reactor Shielding

Creator:: Rose, Charlotte
Abstract:: Of great importance in the design of a nuclear power plant is the evaluation of shielding from the ionizing radiation produced in the core of the nuclear reactor. This requires simulation software to predict the dose rates in the areas of interest. Comparing the simulation of the same modeled system...
