During operation and maintenance of Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) at Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS), low level radioactive liquid waste is generated and released to the aquatic ecosystem (Moticher lake). The silt and aquatic weed (Hydrilla verticillata) samples collected from different locations in Moticher lake were analysed for 137Cs, 134Cs, 65Zn, 60Co, 54Mn and 40K during 2007–2008. A wide variation in activity levels of 137Cs, 134Cs, 65Zn, 60Co, 54Mn and 40K in silt and weed samples were observed in aquatic system of KAPS. The activity buildup in the silt is confined to a small area in the Moticher lake. The activity levels were found to be insignificant at 1 km away from discharge point (upstream and downstream). An attempt was made to evaluate the radiological dose to aquatic weed (Hydrilla verticillata), which was found to be well within the dose limit prescribed by US DOE. The total radiological dose due to the naturally occurring radionuclide (40K) is comparatively higher than that of other reactor released gamma emitting radionuclides.  相似文献

A study on the trace elements transfer from tidal water to mangrove sediments from Guanabara Bay (southeastern Brazil) was performed in laboratory microcosms. Sediment cores were covered with tidal water spiked with 137Cs, 54Mn and 57Co during 5-h experiments, and water samples were taken at regular intervals to measure uptake kinetics at the sediment–water interface. At the end of the experiments, the uptake and diffusional penetration into the sediments was evaluated. Half-removal times from water to sediments were slightly higher for 137Cs (3.4 ± 1.7 h) than observed for 54Mn (2.3 ± 0.2 h) and 57Co (2.6 ± 1.1 h). After these experiments, all radioisotopes presented decreasing activities with increasing sediment depth, being the distribution of 137Cs indicative of higher diffusion within the upper 2 cm. This study on the removal of 137Cs, 54Mn and 57Co from tidal water by mangrove sediments suggests that while 57Co and 54Mn presented closer behaviors, there was a slightly higher mobility of 137Cs.  相似文献

The incineration is one of the widely used method for treatment of solid radioactive wastes. The high volume and weight reduction coefficient (100–150 respectively 10–15) are advantages of this method. The greater part of radionuclides from solid radioactive wastes is retained in ash. From point of view of workers external irradiation, the radionuclides accumulation in furnace lining is one of risk factors. The Kalinit O 1200 is furnace lining material on NPPRIs Experimental Incineration facility. In the first step the sorption properties of this material from137Cs,60Co,54Mn,65Zn solutions were studied. The best results had60Co, its distribution coefficient was 7036 kg · dm–3. Cesium-137 was not absorbed on this material. The cylinders (height 5 cm, diameter 2 cm) from lining materials were made latest and were applicated inside the furnace and technological tract to study sorption properties from combustion gases. The penetration of radionuclide into lining material was studied too. The results obtained with this experiments are described in this paper.  相似文献

The article presents the results of a study on the bioaccumulation abilities of Polysiphonia fucoides, a red algae specific to the southern Baltic Sea, towards (of) gamma emitting isotopes. A laboratory experiment was carried out to determine changes in the activities of some isotopes—54Mn, 57Co, 65Zn, 110mAg,113Sn, 134Cs, 137Cs and 241Am—occurring in P. fucoides exposed to a seawater medium containing these isotopes over the course of 1 month. All analyzed isotopes showed the greatest increase of radioactive activity in plant tissue in the first 24 h of exposure. The temporary concentration factors of cesium isotopes were increasing linearly during the experiment from 114 to 274 in the case of 137Cs, and from 144 to 351 in the case of 134Cs. The level of the initial concentration factor of cesium isotopes in the plant proved to be independent of the initial concentration of the isotope in seawater and it took the lowest (125 dm3 kg?1) level among the studied isotopes. In the case of a mixture of gamma emitting isotopes, a linear relation between the individual isotope activity in P. fucoides and its initial concentration in seawater was established after the first day of exposure; the isotopes initial concentration factors ranged from 767 to 874 dm3 kg?1. Having reached the maximal concentration level, a statistically significant decline in radioactivity concentrations of the five isotopes in the plant tissue was observed. A half-life of biological removal of the isotopes from the plant tissue was established at: 3.8 days in the case of 54Mn, 4 days—57Co, 4 days—60Co, 4.2 days—137Cs and 241Am—3.5 days.  相似文献

Transfer of radionuclides from soil to root vegetables (radish, carrot and turnip) has been studied by radiotracer experiments using Andosol, a typical soil type in Japan. The averages of the transfer factors of137Cs,85Sr,60Co,54Mn and65Zn for edible parts of the three vegetables were 0.02, 0.14, 0.004, 0.09 and 0.13, respectively. The transfer factor of141Ce for the edible part of carrot was 0.0002. The transfer factors obtained for the edible part of root vegetables were markedly lower than those for leaf vegetables.  相似文献

An optimization of mortar (as matrix), improved with bentonite clay, used for immobilization of radionuclides60Co,137Cs,85Sr and54Mn, is presented. A relatively simple mathematical model is given, which permits minimization of leach rate and permeability and maximization of compressive strength. An optimal solution, based on experimental data, is given. These results will be used for a future Yugoslav radioactive waste storing center.  相似文献

The addition of54Mn and65Zn to a nine-radionuclide standard (containing241Am.,109Cd.57Co,139Ce,203Hg.113Sn,137Cs,88Y, and60Co) provides the capability to determine the extent of coincidence summing for gamma rays from88Y and60Co. A method for correcting the efficiency points at 1332 keV (60Co) and 1836 keV (88Y) for coincidence summing is presented.  相似文献

The movement of85Sr,137Cs,54Mn and60Co in the 50 cm soil profile was studied with and without the presence of plant roots (triticum aestivum) in order to investigate the influence of roots and depth contamination upon the migration of radionuclides. The water table was maintained manually at 3 cm from the bottom. The physiochemical characteristics (Eh Fe–2, NH 4 + , pH and moisture content) as well as the total and extractable radioactivity were investigated. In the discrete contamination, where the location of contamination varied within the soil profile (0–5, 25–30 or 45–50 cm from the top), the influence of location upon the movement of these radionuclides was also studied. It was found that the changes in the soil physicochemical characteristics influenced the mobility of the four radionuclides. The extractability of54Mn and60Co was significantly increased in the reducing region of the soil, whereas that of85Sr,137Cs was not. Plant roots excerted significant effects upon the soil characteristics, via, reducing the Eh pH and moisture content of the soil; increasing the extractability of both54Mn and60Co from the depth of 35 cm downwards. Radionuclide migration occurred via physicochemical and biological transport. The biological transport via plant roots was of particular importance for137Cs. Location of contamination had a significant influence upon the mobility of radionuclides. The migration of radionuclides was in the sequence of contamination in middle>bottom>top. The degree of the influence varied with radionuclides concemed. In the top layer contamination, the rank of the migration from the contamination layers, on the other hand54Mn,60Co and137Cs were more mobile and the movement was:85Sr54Mn60Co>137Cs. In the middle and bottom contamination layers, on the other hand,54Mn and60Co and137Cs were more mobile and the movement was85Sr54Mn60Co>137Cs. The results provide evidence conceming the soil-root interaction influencing the transfer efficiency of radionuclides from below the soil surface into the human food chain.  相似文献

Within the last five years the International Laboratory of Marine Radioactivity at Monaco has organized seven intercomparison exercises worldwide on natural materials of marine origin comprising sea water (SW-N-2), sediment (SD-N-1/1, SD-N-1/2, SD-N-2), seaweed (AG-B-1) and fish flesh (MA-B-3/1, MA-B-3/2). Results on man-made (54Mn,60Co,65Zn,90Sr,99Tc,134Cs,137Cs,238Pu,239,240Pu,241Am) and natural radionuclides were collected and evaluated. Reference values were established for a number of them. In the paper are discussed various aspects of the intercomparison exercises.  相似文献

The IAEA Reference Materials Group of the Chemistry Unit, Agency’s Laboratories Seibersdorf, has developed and optimized a procedure for spiking some environmental matrices with gamma-emitting radionuclides. This paper describes the spiking procedure, homogeneity testing of the spiked material, and assignment of property values and their associated uncertainties for the radionuclides 54Mn, 65Zn, 60Co, 109Cd, 134Cs, 137Cs, 210Pb, and 241Am. This procedure has already been successfully used in an IAEA proficiency test on the determination of 137Cs and 210Pb in spiked soil and has been found to be appropriate for production of soil materials for proficiency testing and internal quality control samples. The main advantage of this procedure is a low uncertainty arising from heterogeneity, which was found to be less than 1.2% for all the analytes studied.   相似文献

Nuclear fuel solutions atpH=2.5 can be passed through 7×1 cm chitin or chitosan columns to fix the Zr, Nb, Ce and Ru radioisotopes. This rapid and quantitative separation clears the γ-ray spectrum of the solution from the main activity contribution and leaves the137Cs spectrum alone for accurate Cs determination. The process can be extended to radioactive waste waters.  相似文献

For decommissioning of the cyclotron and electron synchrotron facilities, the residual radioactivity in surface and core samples of concrete, collected from various parts of buildings, was determined by gamma-ray spectrometry. It was found that the concrete samples were activated mainly by neutrons and that the major radioisotopes were 152Eu, 60Co, 134Cs, 22Na and 54Mn. The maximum activity induced by thermal neutron capture was observed at the depth of 10 cm in the concrete wall near the deflector of the cyclotron. Tritium was also produced by the neutron reaction, because its concentration was proportional to the activities of 152Eu and 60Co. The surface dose rates inside the accelerator room were also monitored to define the decontamination area. The surface dose rate was proportional to the residual radioactivity, such as 60Co. A careful evaluation was very useful in order to minimize the radioactive waste during decontamination.  相似文献

The 59Ni and 55Fe radioisotopes were measured in radioactive wastes of some European nuclear power plants. A sample preparation method was developed that starts with the digestion in an oxygen atmosphere at an overpressure in a closed Berthelot calorimeter bomb. The detection limits for 59Ni and 55Fe were measured and calculated in the presence of high background activities from 60Co, 137Cs and 241Am isotopes.  相似文献

Concerning decontamination of a radioactive liquid waste which includes seawater and nuclides from irradiated fuels and activated materials, the in-situ generation of metal hexacyanoferrates(II) by adding potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) and codecontamination of 134,137Cs and some activation products were investigated. Transition metals arising from seawater in the waste solution precipitates in the preference order of Zn>Ni≥Co>Mn according to their solubility. The precipitate adsorbs 134,137Cs, and decontamination will be attained by the following sedimentation with a polymer and filtration, as an example. Decontamination factor of activated products, 60Co and 54Mn, is dependent on concentration of hexacyanoferrate(II) in the solution.  相似文献

The root uptake by wheat of three activation products (57Co, 54Mn and 65Zn) was studied in a 3-year field experiment. The aim of the investigation was to calculate the soil–plant transfer factors of these nuclides and to verify the role played by different soil treatments (Ca and K) on the uptake. The uptake of 54Mn and 65Zn, relevant for the plant, was higher than that of 57Co (physiologically unimportant). The temporal distribution of the uptake showed a decreasing trend, while the treatments containing Ca led to lower transfer factors for 54Mn and 65Zn, which varied between 0.67 and 3.68. The variations exhibited by the different nuclides were discussed, as well as the differences between the treatments.  相似文献

The absolute total and full-energy peak (FEP) efficiencies of a high purity germanium (HPGe) photon detector are measured in the energy range from 40 keV to 1500 keV. The functional parameters are fitted to the calibration points from 14 long-lived standard sources (129I,241Am,109Cd,57Co,139Ce,137Cs,54Mn,65Zn,60Co,22Na,133Ba,152Eu,154Eu and166mHo) within an accuracy better than the quoted uncertainty of the calibration sources. The efficiencies in far and close geometries are compared.  相似文献

The radioactive concentrations of radionuclides were measured in the soil and groundwater below the 12 GeV proton beam-line tunnel at KEK. Various long-lived radionuclides, (7Be, 22Na, 46Sc, 54Mn, 60Co, 134Cs, 152Eu and 154Eu) were observed in the soil samples by -ray spectra measurements, and 3H was also detected by liquid scintillation counting. On the other hand, 3H, 22Na and 54Mn, which were leached from the soil were measured in the groundwater below the EP2 beam line. 3H and 22Na were also found in slight amounts in groundwater collected in a well dug beside the East Counter Hall. From a comparison with the radioactive concentration in soil and groundwater, the order of the leaching percentages were 3H>22Na>54Mn. This tendency was in agreement with an experimental result of the RI laboratory.  相似文献

Radioactive multitracer technique was applied to study the screening of in vivo interrelations between radioactive tracers (46Sc, 54Mn, 58Co, 65Zn, 75Se, 83Rb, 85Sr and 88Zr) and stable Zn species. Comparative uptake rates were examined in the blood, nine organs (thymus, lung, cardiac muscle, spleen, pancreas, kidney, liver, testes and bone) and eight brain regions (cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, thalamus and hypothalamus, midbrain, cerebellum, pons and medulla, olfactory bulb) using 3-week-old mice fed by four kinds of Zn-deficient, -adequate and -excessive diets with Zn content from 0.7 to 3520 ppm. As a result, no significant difference between the dietary Zn-deficient state (Zn content: 3.6 ppm) and Zn-adequate state (Zn content: 36 ppm) was observed in the uptake rates of 65Zn and other 46Sc, 54Mn, 58Co and 75Se, except for 83Rb. In addition, significant differences among the organ and brain regional uptakes of 46Sc, 54Mn, 58Co, 75Se and 83Rb were found in the dietary Zn-excessive state (Zn content: 3520 ppm). These results indicate that the organ and brain regional uptakes of tracers in Zn-deficient and excessive mice are strongly correlated with the blood uptakes and retentions of the tracers. Furthermore, the multitracer screening gives us new findings concerning the diet-related element-element interrelations in living bodies.  相似文献
