This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assess the relevance of colloidal influences on radionuclide transport for the long-term safety of a radioactive waste repository, the KOLLORADO-2 project integrates the results of geochemical and hydrogeological studies. The results may serve as a basis for an appraisal of the implications of colloid presence in the vicinity of radioactive waste repositories in different deep geological host-rock formations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Underground nuclear detonations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) provide a unique opportunity to study the behavior of radionuclides in a field environment. The 1965 Cambric event, a small detonation in the saturated zone of the Valley Fill alluvial aquifer at NTS, has been studied extensively to improve the understanding of groundwater flow and radionuclide migration. The 1974 field investigation of the Cambric event included: (1) a re-entry boring into the original detonation cavity and (2) the installation of a pumping well 91 meters away from the cavity to draw mobile radionuclides such as tritium and krypton-85. This satellite well, sampled regularly over 16 years, produced some unexpected results. Because of the supposed ideality of tritium and krypton as tracers, their arrival was expected to be concurrent; however, krypton-85 arrival was delayed compared to tritium. More important is the fact that, while over 90% of the decay-corrected tritium from the original blast was drawn out through the well, less than half of the krypton was recovered. This work presents a hypothesis for understanding these unexpected results based on the site hydrogeology and underground detonation phenomenology. Carbon dioxide evolved from caliche during the detonation appears to have caused the upward migration of krypton-85 and other gaseous radionuclides through the collapsing chimney and into the unsaturated zone above. In the process, krypton became distributed throughout the cavity and chimney, while tritium remained immediately around the cavity. This post-detonation movement of krypton-85 provides one explanation, then, of the unexpected elution curve results. To demonstrate the validity of this hypothesis, a variety of numerical simulations were performed using the finite difference code TRACR3D. Calibrating two unknown hydraulic conductivity parameters on the tritium field data, it was shown that krypton-85 may indeed have been distributed throughout the chimney as suggested by the hypothesis."--Abstract.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear energy is the one energy source that could meet the world's growing energy needs and provide a smooth transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in the coming decades and centuries. It is becoming abundantly clear that an increase in nuclear energy capacity will, and probably must, take place. However, nuclear energy and the use of radionuclides for civilian and military purposes lead to extremely long-lived waste that is costly and highly problematic to deal with. Therefore, it is critically important ot understand the environmental implications of radionuclides for ecosystems and human health if nuclear energy is to be used to avoid the impending global energy crisis. The present volume of the EIC Books series addresses this critical need by providing fundamental information on environmentally significant radionuclides. The content of this book was developed in collaboration with many of the authors of the chapters. Given the enormity of the subject the Editor and the Authors had to be judicious in selecting the chapters that would appropriately encompass and describe the primary topics, particularly those that are of importance to the health of ecosystems and humans. The resulting chapters were chosen to provide this information in a book of useful and appropriate length. Each chapter provides fundamental information on the chemistry of the radionuclides, their occurrence and movement in the enivornment, separation and analyses, and the technologies needed for their remediation and mitigation. The chapters are structured with a common, systematic format in order to facilitate comparions between elements and groups of elements. About EIC Books The Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry (EIC) has proved to be one of the defining standards in inorganic chemistry, and most chemistry libraries around the world have access either to the first of second print editon, or to the online version. Many readers, however, prefer to have more concise thematic volumes, targeted to their specific area of interest. This feedback from EIC readers has encouraged the Editors to plan a series of EIC Books, focusing on topics of current interest. They will appear on a regular basis, and will feature leading scholars in their fields. Like the Encyclopedia, EIC Books aims to provide both the starting research student and the confirmed research worker with a critical distillation of the leading concepts in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and provide a structured entry into the fields covered. This volume is also available as part of Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, 5 Volume Set. This set combines all volumes published as EIC Books from 2007 to 2010, representing areas of key developments in the field of inorganic chemistry published in the Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry.
