Currently, in China, during a nuclear emergency or a radiological emergency that can cause nuclear emergency or exceptionally serious radiological accident, the National Nuclear Safety Administration, Ministry of Environmental Protection (NNSA/MEP) is expected to operate Nuclear and Radiation Accident ...
Between 1970 and 1989, five Soviet nuclear submarines were sunk, either as a result of accidents or due toscuttling. Scores of Soviet sailors and officers were lost, and the wrecks themselves presented an ongoing danger to marine life and navigation due to the threat ofradiation. The K-27, ...
In order to probe the response of silicone door gasket materials to a postulated severe accident in an Italian nuclear power plant, compression stress relaxation (CSR) and compression set (CS) measurements were conducted under combined radiation (approximately 6 kGy/h) and temperature (up to 230(...

In the aftermath of the accident at the nuclear reactors of Fukushima in Japan, this was the view of Angela Merkel and her government backing up the decision to immediately close the oldest eight German nuclear power plants and to phase out the remaining nine by 2022. Unsurprisingly, this deci...
The Fukushima disaster in particular has shattered the zero risk myth of power reactors and heightened our concern about the invisibility of the added lethal component, nuclear radiation. Consequently, they have spurred our interest in the other source of nuclear energy—fusion. Advertisement 3. ...
reactions. The emitted radiation interacting with matter offered possibilities for powerful nuclear measurement techniques, as well as medical applications in imaging, diagnostics, and therapy. The risk of physical harm through radiation exposure of the human body has always been the downside of this ...
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FNP-1) accident, while as tragic as the tsunami, was a -made disaster created by the ignorance of the effects of radiation and radioactive materials. Therefore, it is important that all specialists in radiation protection in medicine sympathize with the...
And in the wake of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident experts are predicting another baby boy boom could come, especially on the U. S. West Coast. Previous radiation experiments on animals may give a clue for the increase in male births. Tests showed that radiation caused...
[29]. Therefore, the high percentage, mobility, and transferability of HTO make its radiation impact considerably greater than those of HT and CH3T, which in turn leads to the monitoring of HTO being more commonly performed. To monitor HTO in the atmosphere, atmospheric water vapor can be ...
