Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has the potential to accumulate in buildings and over time, causes lung cancer in humans. Present methods for radon measurements are disparate, which pose challenges to benchmark radon concentrations and ...
A pyrene-based metal-organic framework (MOF) SION-8 captured iodine (I-2) vapor with a capacity of 460 and 250 mg g(MOF)(-1) at room temperature and 75 degrees C, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and van-der-Waals-corrected density f ...
In this study, we report the results of in situ U(VI) bioreduction experiments at the Integrated Field Research Challenge site in Rifle, Colorado, USA. Columns filled with sediments were deployed into a groundwater well at the site and, after a period of c ...
Knowing what amount of radioactive material was released from Fukushima in March 2011 and at what time instants is crucial to assess the risk, the pollution, and to understand the scope of the consequences. Moreover, it could be used in forward simulations ...
Common indicators used to examine the potential for utilising natural radiation of urban forms include the sky view factor (V-s), the height to width ratio and the urban horizon angle. These indicators are conveniently related to one another. In comparing ...
Nuclear materials have been successfully employed in commercial fission reactors for many decades. Research and material development for advanced fission system and future thermo-nuclear fusion reactors have acquired maturity while great challenges remain ...
The main feature of a bilateral Master-Slave servomanipulator is its "transparency", i.e. the operatr has virtually to feel as if his own hands were extended to the Slave on the spot of remote operation, i.e. inside a radioactive environment. To obtain thi ...
