Monitoring of the release of {sup 238}Pu, {sup 239,240}Pu, {sup 241}Am, {sup 242}Cm, and {sup 244}Cm in the airborne effluents from Czech and Slovak nuclear power plants

Journal Article Hoelgye, Z ; Filgas, R ; Bucina, I - Environment International

The concentrations of {sup 238}Pu, {sup 239,240}Pu, {sup 241}Am, {sup 242}Cm, and {sup 244}Cm in airborne effluents and the discharge of radionuclides was determined at the V1 and V2 nuclear power plants at Jaslovske Bohunice in the Slovak Republic and the V3 and V4 nuclear power plants at Dukovany in the Czech Republic in 1991, 1992, and 1993. The concentrations of isotopes of transuranium elements and the discharged radionuclides at the V1 nuclear power plant were significantly higher than those at V2 and especially at V3 and V4. For example in 1993, the concentrations of {sup 239,24O}Pu in airborne effluentsmore »« less

Bioreduction amenability testing of actinide contaminated soils. The systems: Am{sup 241}-Pu{sup 238}, Am{sup 241}-Pu{sup 239/40}, U

Technical Report Korich, D G ; Sharp, J E

Bioreductive processing of actinide contaminated soils can achieve extraction levels in excess of 97% for both plutonium and uranium contaminants. Reasonable reaction rates of 4 to 6 day resident times for Pu-Am have been demonstrated on 4 gram sample charges. Longer reaction times of 17 days required for uranium extraction can be improved by soil sample preconditioning and/or an increase in process reagent concentrations. The environmentally benign treatment process operates at pH 6--7, preserves the original soil matrix, and utilizes standard processing equipment. The process reagent component (inoculum SD-1 and biological growth medium PX100{trademark}) are available for utilization in anmore »« less

System of high-purity germanium detectors for the detection and measurement of inhaled radionuclides. [/sup 239/Pu and /sup 240/Pu and /sup 241/Am]

Conference Falk, R. B. ; Tyree, W. H. ; Wood, C. B. ; ...

A system of eight high-purity germanium detectors mounted, four each, as arrays on two downward-looking cryostats is described. This system is designed to measure photons emitted by inhaled radionuclides and is efficient for photon energies between 10 keV and 200 keV. In routine operation since October 1976, the system is used mainly to detect and measure inhaled plutonium and americium. Each of the eight detectors has a surface area of 10 cm/sup 2/ and a resolution of 650 eV full-width half-maximum or better at 60 keV. This excellent resolution means that the photopeak can be placed in a narrow portionmore »« less
