    Ms Caroline Licour (NEMP applied research lab, HE2B-ISIB, Brussels, Belgium)
    Lecture

    Airborne transport is responsible for the long-range spreading of pollutants via atmospheric pathways. A fission product such as 137Cs, serves as an effective tracer for studying the distribution of pollutants and its mechanisms through the atmosphere. Its propensity to be airborne transported on aerosols, combined with its half-life of 30 years, enables assessment over a timescale spanning...

  23. 19. Car-borne monitoring for NORM residue surveying
    Kamila Johnová (SÚRO, v.v.i.)

    Car-borne gamma spectrometry and dose rate measurement are useful tools in various situations, such as geological surveys, searching for orphan sources, or surveying in the aftermath of an incident. The method can also be successfully applied for surveying large masses of NORM residues, since a great amount of NORM residue can be further reused, for example, as construction material. This...

    Prof. Sandra Soares (Universidade da Beira Interior), Prof. Sonja Schreurs (UHasselt)
    Lecture

    Our previous 3 Erasmus+ SPs have revealed that blended activities improve the intensive programs we offer to our students and that softs skills are key competences for nuclear engineers in a sustainable future.
    Integrating these aspects however asked a lot of efforts of the academic and technical staff to cope and integrate it in the practical activities. But it also offered new...

  25. 15. Comparison of different detectors for small field output factor measurements in photon radiotherapy with a focus on long rectangular fields
    Tereza Hanušová (Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague)

    In the Varian environment (TrueBeam linear accelerator and Eclipse treatment planning system, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA), beam data acquisition for radiation fields smaller than 3 cm x 3 cm involves measurements of long and narrow rectangular fields such as 1 cm x 40 cm. The beams must be collimated by jaws with fully retracted MLC (multileaf collimator). Output factors (OF) of...

    Lenka Thinová (CTU FNSPE)
    Lecture

    Hydrothermal-metasomatite uranium deposit Zadní Chodov is situated in metamorphic rocks (gneisses and metagranites) between the villages of Zadní Chodov and Broumov, Czech Republic. The deposit was discovered in 1952 and mined until the year 1992. In the time period 1992-1995 the deposit was flooded in a controlled manner. The change in the oxidation-reduction environment in the underground...

  28. 20. Indirect estimation of airflow inside uranium waste rock dumps using ground surface temperature measurements
    Martin Kaschner (KDAIZ, FJFI, ČVUT v Praze)
    Lecture

    Uranium waste rock dumps contain residual uranium mineralization, resulting in increased concentrations of radon within the dump body. Depending on the structure of the stored material as well as on the surface properties and environmental parameters, radon is released is from the waste rock dump body and the radon concentration in vicinity of the dump increases.

    Areas of release vary...

  32. 18. Preliminary Findings in the Study of Radon Gas Absorption Capacity in Aromatic Plants
    Lígia Rios Lopes (Universidade da Beira Interior)
    Lecture

    Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive noble gas emitted from rocks containing uranium. This study aimed to analyse the absorption capacity of this gas in aromatic plants exposed to an aerosol-rich radon environment. Additionally, it sought to determine the presence of radionuclides from the decay chain of 238U or 232Th. Aromatic plants, commonly used in both cuisine and interior...

    Václav Štěpán (CTU FNSPE)
    Lecture

    Spectrometers on board unmanned aerial systems are increasingly used for monitoring and surveying missions, both for security applications and studies related to natural resources. Compared to ground surveys as well as traditional helicopter/aircraft aerial surveys, the application of UAS has numerous advantages – and presents different challenges. To enable cross-comparisons and testing of...

  35. 22. Utilization of integral ventilation rate measurement in practice
    Katerina Navratilova Rovenska (National Radiation Protection Institute (SURO))

    The exchange of air between the indoor and outdoor atmosphere is a key physical process that affects, among other things, the behaviour of all types of aerosols and gaseous contaminants, including radon/ thoron and their decay products in buildings, and mediates their transfer from indoor to outdoor air and vice versa. Commonly used technique of tracer gases was implemented into SURO’s...

  36. 21. X-ray Fluorescence Analysis of Pigments in Coats of Arms on the Lauf castel in Bavaria
    Mr Tomáš Čechák (CTU in Prague)
    Lecture

    Pigments in the paints used for the coats of arms, polychromy on sculptures, and pigments in frescoes characterize not only the epoch but also individual creators or groups of artists involved in their creation. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a non-destructive method suitable for determining the chemical composition of these artefacts. This article covers the results of measurements of coats...
