ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...

Practical Solutions to Radioactive Waste Characterization

The movement or storage of containers of radioactive waste requires characterization of the contents for radioactivity to verify conformance with transportation and waste acceptance controls. Spectroscopy of the emitted gamma rays is often the only viable method of assay of the contents. The spectrum analysis must include suitable efficiency, attenuation and geometry corrections for bulk contai...

Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)

Over the years there have been many occasions when it was asserted that coal-fired power stations emitted more radioactivity (from NORM) than was released anywhere in the nuclear fuel cycle. While having some basis in fact the claim is generally not correct now. Today the contention regarding NORM tends to be in relation to steel and other materials released from demolished industrial facilitie...

The Transport of Radioactive Materials

All of these materials are transported on land, sea or in the air in compliance with regulations which are now universally based on the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials Ref. [1]. These regulations are designed to ensure adequate protection of transport workers, the public and the environment against the hazards of external radiation, the spread of radioactive con...
