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...

Examining the Risks Associated with Visiting the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone; A Study of Breastmilk and Policies

Creator:: Bell, Heather R.
Abstract:: Tourism to the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), site of the 1986 Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident, has increased each year since the government began allowing tourist groups to access the CEZ. Nevertheless, little guidance is available to a tourist as to what risks they may encounter and whether their visit...

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...

An analysis of the viability of ranked set sample methodologies based on the evaluation of Dyess AFB B-47 crash site radiological contamination survey data and theoretical modifications

Creator:: Miller, Vivien J.
Abstract:: Since Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) was proposed in 1952 by G.A. McIntyre, it has been the subject of many statistical investigations and a large number of field studies. Throughout these studies RSS has been proven to provide a better estimate of population the mean and variance than Simple Random Sampling...

Validation of radiographic automatic exposure control device testing in the era of filmless radiography : and new variables associated with testing

Creator:: Allman, Robert M.
Abstract:: The exposure needed for a clinically useful image requires much less precision when using digital radiography (DR) than when using screen/film (SF) radiography. The Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) device was developed for ensuring accurate and precise exposures with SF technology. This thesis evaluates the importance of the AEC device in...

A quantitative comparison of cardiovascular imaging systems with respect to the resolution capabilities and the resulting skin entrance doses operating in both fluoroscopic and cine mode

Creator:: Helms, W. Scott
Abstract:: The increasing use of medical procedures using ionizing radiation has increased significantly in recent years. In 1987, the National Council on Radiation Protection Report 93 (NCRP) reported that the average exposure ionizing radiation was 53mRem/year (0.53mSv/year). In their most recent study on radiation exposures NCRP Report 160 in 2009, the...

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...

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...

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...
