Book Radioactive Particles in the Environment

Download or read book Radioactive Particles in the Environment written by Deborah Oughton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radioactive particles have been released to the environment from a number of sources, including nuclear weapon tests, nuclear accidents and discharges from nuclear installations. Particle characteristics influence the mobility, biological uptake and effects of radionuclides, hence information on these characteristics is essential for assessing environmental impact and risks. This publication presents a series of papers covering sources and source term characterisation, methodologies for characterizing particles, and the impact of particles on the behaviour of radioactive particles in the environment. Sources covered include the Chernobyl accident, nuclear weapons accidents at Thule and Palomares accident, the discharges from Dounreay and Krashnoyarsk, and depleted uranium in Kosovo and Kuwait. The overall aim is that an increased understanding of particle characteristics and behavior will help to reduce some of the uncertainties in environmental impact and risk assessment for particle contaminated areas.

Book Modelling the Dispersion of Radionuclides in the Marine Environment

Download or read book Modelling the Dispersion of Radionuclides in the Marine Environment written by Raúl Periánez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-03-07 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide to the subject of numerical modelling of radioactivity dispersion in the marine environment. Thus, the techniques and numerical procedures required are explained in detail, with the aim of enabling the reader to build a real mathematical model. The book covers basic concepts and techniques, such as solving the advection-diffusion equation in a simple 1D form, as well as the most recent developments (full 3D models for non-conservative radionuclides including chemical reactions and speciation). A chapter is dedicated to the basic hydrodynamic modelling that is always required to simulate the dispersion of tracers in the sea; Eulerian and Lagrangian modelling techniques are also described. A chapter describes sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, the final stage in modelling works. A review on some published radionuclide dispersion models is also included. The book also includes a CD-ROM with a Lagrangian dispersion model of the Strait of Gibraltar and several Fortran codes developed by the author which can be used to reproduce some of the cases described in the book.

Book Radioactivity Transport in Water

Download or read book Radioactivity Transport in Water written by and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies were undertaken to obtain a more accurate concept of the transport of radionuclides in aquatic systems. Various stages of this research were completed and published previously in progress reports, and are listed in the references. These reports describe the dispersion, uptake, release, and transport of /sup 89/Sr, /sup 137/Cs, /sup 103/Ru, /sup 58/Co and /sup 51/Cr. Transport data were obtained by conducting laboratory, model river, and field tests. Canal, river, and estuarine environmerts provided the necessary field information on hydrodynamic dispersion and on uptake and release of radionuclides by sediments. Model river data provided most of the useful uptake and release information involving special sediments, plants, and aquatic environments. Topics discussed include the factors affecting radionuclide transport, the use of model rivers to study cortinuous release of radionuclides, and the influence of various environmental factors on the accumulation and desorption of mercurials by a fresh water alga. Radioactive isotopes of mercury in the form of mercuric mercury and methyl mercury were used as tracers. (CH).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 200. Trajectory-based (“Lagrangian”) atmospheric transport and dispersion modeling has gained in popularity and sophistication over the previous several decades. It is common practice now for researchers around the world to apply Lagrangian models to a wide spectrum of issues. Lagrangian Modeling of the Atmosphere is a comprehensive volume that includes sections on Lagrangian modeling theory, model applications, and tests against observations. Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series. Comprehensive coverage of trajectory-based atmospheric dispersion modeling Important overview of a widely used modeling tool Sections look at modeling theory, application of models, and tests against observations
