1. 1. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc

   University essay from

   Author : Jonathan Sundström; [2022-09-09]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Nuclear power plant; Radiation dose; Effective dose; Lifetime attributable risk; LAR; Fallout; Inhalation; Strontium-90; Iodine-131; Cloudshine;

   Abstract : Today, emergency preparedness is needed against both nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear weapons fallout. Both scenarios can lead to exposure of ionizing radiation. Upon exposure, radionuclides will incur a radiation dose both internally and externally. READ MORE

3. 2. Development of methods for detection of radioactive aerosols of special importance for the ESS facility

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Martin Carlström; [2021]
   Keywords : alpha spectrometry; radioactive aerosols; spectrum simulation;

   Abstract : With the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) steadily approaching the operational phase, an environmental monitoring program will soon be implemented with the purpose of monitoring emissions. With regard to radiation safety, it is highly important to monitor alpha emitting radionuclides in aerosol form. READ MORE

4. 3. Emergency Preparedness Process Proposal for Radiological Incidents at Accelerator Driven Facilities

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Leonie Victoria Stieren; [2021]
   Keywords : accelerator driven facilities; emergency response; crisis management; radiological hazard; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an accelerator driven research facility under construction. Once commissioned, a linear accelerator supplies protons to a target, whereupon neutrons are generated through a process called “spallation”. Neutron beam time will be available for a variety of scientific experiments. READ MORE

5. 4. The Effectiveness of Evacuation Alarms in Multi-Hazard Environments

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Robin Magnusson; Claude Pagnon Eriksson; [2019]
   Keywords : Evacuation; evacuation alarms; auditory alarms; alarm perception; perceived urgency; multi-hazard.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effectiveness of using specific alarms for each hazard versus the effectiveness of using a single alarm for all hazards in multi-hazard facilities. The research was conducted by disseminating online questionnaires containing audio files of different alarms to occupants of multi-hazards facilities and conducting interviews with safety experts working at multi-hazard facilities.

6. 5. The FLARE Suit: A protection against solar radiation in space

   University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

   Author : Sébastien Ruhlmann; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : FLARE Suit är en enhet som används för att skydda astronauter från intensiv partikelstrålning när de reser ut ur magnetosfären på framtida Deep Space-uppdrag.   Denna dräkt kan skydda mot solpartiklar som på grund av sin höga densitet kan orsaka akut strålningssjuka och leda till överdriven förstöring av inre organ (mag- tarmkanalen, nervsystemet, blodbildande benmärg) och i värsta fall till döden.
