Medical radionuclides and their impurities in wastewater

Creator:

Hay, Tristan Ryan

Abstract:

NCRP report No.160 states that medical exposure increased to nearly half of the total radiation exposure of the U.S. population from all sources in 2006 (NCRP 2009). Part of this increase in exposure is due to the rise in nuclear medicine procedures. With this observed growth in medical radionuclide usage,...

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...

Exposure of ionic hyper-regulated artemia to chlorine – 36 in a marine system

Creator:

Shaw, Christopher Glenn

Abstract:

Chlorine – 36 (36Cl) is produced naturally, through neutron activation of stable chlorine during nuclear weapons detonation, or from neutron capture on residual chlorine in graphite piles. It has a half-life of 301,000 years and decays by the means of beta decay with an average energy of 236.33 keV. Due...
