Multifragmentation reactions and properties of hot stellar matter at sub-nuclear densities. Abstract We point out similarity of thermodynamic conditions reached in intermediate-energy nuclear collisions and in supernova explosions. We show that a statistical approach, which has been previously applied for nuclear multifragmentation reactions , can be very useful for description of the electro-n...

BACKGROUND Although there is speculation that individuals living in the vicinity of nuclear disasters have persistent mental health deterioration due to psychological stress, few attempts have been made to examine this issue. AIMS To determine whether having been in the vicinity of the Nagasaki atomic bomb explosion in the absence of substantial exposure to radiation affected the mental healt...

Radioxenon isotopes play a major role in confirming whether or not an underground explosion was nuclear in nature. It is then of key importance to understand the sources of environmental radioxenon to be able to distinguish civil sources from those of a nuclear explosion. Based on several years of measurements, combined with advanced atmospheric transport model results, it was recently shown th...

the risks of fire and explosion in oil and gas industry need to be managed. the objectives of the present study were to assess the risk of fire and explosion in iso-max unit of tehran oil refinery using dow’s fire and explosion index and to study the influences of the controlling methods. the latest version of dow fire and explosion index guideline was applied to calculate the fire and explosio...
