   Author : Sofia Bjarheim; [2024]
   Keywords : Radionuclide; Marine Environment; Blue Mussels; 14C; Nuclear Power Plant; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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

3. 2. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Alma Partos; Astrid Schöldström; [2023]
   Keywords : Radon; earthquake; gamma ray spectroscopy;

   Abstract : The purpose of this project is to simulate the detection of γ-ray spectra emitted by radon isotopes and their daughters. This is done as a contribution to the development of radiation detectors to be used in a research project investigating the possibility of using increased amounts of the radioactive gas radon as an earthquake precursor.
