Artificial radionuclides are released into the environment as a result of nuclear facility accidents and nuclear weapon testing. Among them, strontium, plutonium and cesium are the most frequently monitored in environmental studies. After Fukushima accident, changes of Cs-134/137 concentrations in seawater adjacent to Fukushima are well documented. However, radiostrontium or plutonium...

As the toxicity of certain element depends very heavily on their physico-chemical form, it is important to be able to monitor levels of the individual species. Arsenic occurs everywhere in the environment in various forms, including trivalent and pentavalent states, inorganic and organic compounds. In general, pentavalent arsenic is considerably less toxic than trivalent arsenic; inorganic...

Operation of nuclear power plants and other nuclear industry require solution of the following issues: decontamination of the main equipment and working area, treatment of low radioactive waste (LRW). These problems are closely related to each other, i.e. ineffective treatment of LRW generates large amounts of radioactive waste with complex chemical composition. Behaviour of radionuclides in...

Radiation situation in occupied areas of nuclear reactor plants is much determined by the activity of loose corrosion product deposits (crud) in the primary system. Co-60 present in crud is the major contributor to personnel exposure because it has a long half-life period and emits hard γ-radiation. Experimental studies have been performed to analyze the possibility of reducing Co-60 in crud...
