background: human activities such as mining enhance the radioactivity levels above normal background which can lead to an incremental increase in the radiation risk to the population. materials and methods: 20 tailing enriched soil samples collected around maiganga coal mine, gombe, northeast nigeria were assessed for their 226ra, 232th and 40k contents using hpge gamma-ray detector. results: t...

Following the increasing demand of coal for power generation, activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides were determined in Nigerian coal using the gamma spectrometric technique with the aim of evaluating the radiological implications of coal utilization and exploitation in the country. Mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were 8.18±0.3, 6.97±0.3, and 27.38±0.8 Bq kg-1...

The present work gives a methodology for assessing radiological concentration of I, I, I, I, and I due to a hypothetical accident of TRIGA Mark-II research Reactor at AERE, Savar, Bangladesh. The concentrations were estimated through different pathways like ingestion of vegetation, milk, and meat from air and ground deposition. The maximum air concentrations for all 16 directions were found at ...

This white paper lays out some foundational information about different approaches to safety: how various industries differ in their approaches to safety engineering, and a comparison of three general approaches to safety (system safety, industrial safety engineering, and reliability engineering). An attempt is made to lay out the properties of industries and systems that make one approach more...

Introduction: Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) emergencies need specific hospital preparedness resource availability. Preparing to evaluate manage victims from CBRN exposure events in one aspect of preparedness, is often underestimated. Specific skills capabilities are required these events. Emergency department (ED) staff adequate training provide safe effective care. Met...
