By analysing the 239+240Pu and 238Pu content in a total of 32 sediment gravity cores, it has been possible to obtain quite rich information about the accumulation pattern of these radioactive pollutants on the basin of a small lake located in southwest Sweden. In fact, it has been observedthat the traditional lacustrine models reflecting as...

The distribution and behaviour of Polonium (210Po) in marine organisms has been and is now a subject of great interest because of their relatively high concentrations in comparison with those in terrestrial organisms and its relatively high weight in the doses received by humans via ingestion. However, depending ...

This paper presents a first approach to the use of the GEANT4 Monte Carlo (MC) technique in liquid scintil-lation counting (LSC) applied to measurements in radiological laboratories. The GEANT4 software was developed by RD44,a worldwide collaboration of national institutes, laboratories, and large high-energy physics experiments. GEANT4 is a...

Knowledge of accurate radio isotopic signatures is very necessary in assessing any potential radiological hazards and risks to members of the public and workers from exposure to NORM contaminated scales. In this work scales from crude oil production activities from Ghana have been assessed using ...
