    Author : Anton Sandström; [2023]
    Keywords : Climate change; ecology; microorganisms; DNA-sequencing;

    Abstract : This study investigates if the area around Kiruna, Northern Sweden has experienced large shifts in weather conditions and whether these have affected organism abundances. With a significant increase in global temperature and an increase in average temperature of 1. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Monte-Carlo response for mobile gamma spectroscopy in fallout affected residential areas

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : William Lindberg; [2021]
    Keywords : mobile gamma spectroscopy; SERPENT2; Monte-Carlo;

    Abstract : Historically, two nuclear power plant incidents have led to major releases of radioactive isotopes into the environment. In the unfortunate event that such an incident would occur in Sweden, the national emergency preparedness has set-up carborne detector systems which can be used to map radionuclides in fallout affected areas.

  5. 4. Does Proximity Matter? A quantitative study of residential return after a hypothetical nuclear accident in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Jennifer Cardell; [2020-07-10]
    Keywords : Nuclear accident; Geographical proximity; Residential return; Hypothetical scenario; Ordered logistic regression;

    Abstract : After observing an unwillingness to return among the residents in Fukushima following the nuclear accident in 2011, the question has been raised whether a similar response to a nuclear fallout should be expected among Swedish residents. One determinant of this response is the geographical proximity of the resident to the nearest nuclear plant. READ MORE

  6. 5. En kvalitativ studie av jakt på råbock under våren

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Abstract : För 30 år sedan infördes vårbockjakt som idag innefattar länen Västmanland, Uppsala, Gävleborg, Västernorrland och Västerbotten. Anledningen bakom be-slutet är kärnkraftsolyckan som skedde i Tjernobyl 1986 och innebar att radioaktivt nedfall föll över Sverige och att organismer som exempelvis svampar och lavar sög åt sig nedfallet.
