1. Can blue mussel shells be used for retrospective 14C-analysis in the marine environment of nuclear power plants?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysikAbstract : Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. READ MORE

2. Accumulation of 63Ni, 106Ru and 125Sb in phytoplankton
University essay fromAbstract : Background: Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) release small amounts of radionuclides which contribute with a low radiation dose to the environment as well as humans and animals. In this context, marine ecosystems are critical, since most NPPs in Sweden are located by the sea. READ MORE

3. Inverse Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling in Complex Geometries
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : In the event of a radioactive release in an urban environment the consequent response mustbe swift and precise. As soon as first responders have correct information, they can make anaccurate risk assessment. However, if the position, release rate and time of the radioactiverelease is unknown it is hard to know how the pollutant will spread. READ MORE

4. Monte-Carlo response for mobile gamma spectroscopy in fallout affected residential areas
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : 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. Trace element analysis based on neutron activation with coincident gamma ray detection
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/KärnfysikAbstract : In this work, six soil samples have been analyzed. The samples come from different sedimentary layers on Earth. They were previously studied with the objective to find the trace concentration of iridium, to correlate the increased concentrations of iridium with meteorite impacts that have occurred on Earth.
