Abstract The purpose of this study was the use gamma spectrometry to characterize archaeological site Molina de Aragón, located in province Guadalajara Spain. To do so, a set samples with different historical influences have been selected. were analyzed by HPGe detectors, and X-ray fluorescence, know their chemical composition. statistical activity concentration radionuclides from natural radio...

Analyses of (131)I, (137)Cs and (134)Cs in airborne aerosols were carried out in daily samples in Vilnius, Lithuania after the Fukushima accident during the period of March-April, 2011. The activity concentrations of (131)I and (137)Cs ranged from 12 μBq/m(3) and 1.4 μBq/m(3) to 3700 μBq/m(3) and 1040 μBq/m(3), respectively. The activity concentration of (239,240)Pu in one aerosol sample collec...

Index words: Reservoir sedimentation Pb-210 dating Sediment retention Cs-137 dating The singlemost important factor affecting the longevity of US dams is sedimentation, reducing and perhaps eliminating the reservoir capacity for future sediment storage and floodwave attenuation. A better understanding of the sedimentation rates and sediment dynamics is required for a better management of these ...
