一种考虑子体影响的放射性剂量评价方法及其应用

给出了一种考虑子体影响的放射性剂量评价方法,并用此法对铀尾矿中234U通过地下水迁移对人体所致剂量进行了估算.结果表明,子体230Th对整个剂量的贡献值远远大于母体234U.因此,在剂量评价中,需要考虑子体的影响,尤其是计算结果和剂量限值比较接近时,考虑子体的影响尤为必要,只有这样才能保证安全需要.     

青岛市区土壤天然放射性核素的外照射水平估算研究

城市的辐射环境质量对于人居和发展规划有重要意义。利用伽玛能谱仪对青岛市区内的天然放射性核素进行了大规模高密度的现场测量,采用Beck公式计算了离地面1m高处的空气吸收剂量率,进而计算了外照射年有效剂量、外照射指数和等效镭浓度,对研究区的外照射水平进行了系统的评价。与和其他国家全国比较,虽然该区的空气吸收剂量率较高,但是其他衡量天然放射性核素外照射水平的指标均在容许范围之内。因此该区属于外照射水平的安全区域,人居环境不受影响。     

畜禽养殖废水生物处理剩余污泥臭氧减量过程中的重金属释放

采用臭氧氧化污泥减量法对畜禽养殖废水SBR中的剩余污泥进行处理。当臭氧反应时间控制在30min时，污泥的溶解比例在30％左右（以MLSS计）。上清液中一定量的SCOD溶出可为生物处理单元提供充足的碳源，同时在上清液中，TN、TP及水相重金属浓度增加有限，臭氧氧化后的污泥液回流污水处理系统后造成的N、P处理负荷较小，重金属对污泥微生物的活性抑制风险较低。若继续延长臭氧的反应时间，上清液SCOD、TN、TP以及重金属cu、Pb的释放速率明显增加，同时上清液的C／N降低，臭氧化后的污泥液回流反而不利于生物单元的脱氮处理。综合考虑TN、TP及水相重金属浓度增加的危害性，臭氧反应时间应控制在30min，臭氧实际投加量应为123．1mg O3／gSS。     

The challenge of making ozone risk assessment for forest trees more mechanistic

Upcoming decades will experience increasing atmospheric CO₂ and likely enhanced O₃ exposure which represents a risk for the carbon sink strength of forests, so that the need for cause-effect related O₃ risk assessment increases. Although assessment will gain in reliability on an O₃ uptake basis, risk is co-determined by the effective dose, i.e. the plant's sensitivity per O₃ uptake. Recent progress in research on the molecular and metabolic control of the effective O₃ dose is reported along with advances in empirically assessing O₃ uptake at the whole-tree and stand level. Knowledge on both O₃ uptake and effective dose (measures of stress avoidance and tolerance, respectively) needs to be understood mechanistically and linked as a pre-requisite before practical use of process-based O₃ risk assessment can be implemented. To this end, perspectives are derived for validating and promoting new O₃ flux-based modelling tools.     

Radiological risk assessment and biosphere modelling for radioactive waste disposal in Switzerland

Long-term safety assessments for geological disposal of radioactive waste in Switzerland involve the demonstration that the annual radiation dose to humans due to the potential release of radionuclides from the waste repository into the biosphere will not exceed the regulatory limit of 0.1 mSv. Here, we describe the simple but robust approach used by Nagra (Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste) to quantify the dose to humans as a result to time-dependent release of radionuclides from the geosphere into the biosphere. The model calculates the concentrations of radionuclides in different terrestrial and aquatic compartments of the surface environment. The fluxes of water and solids within the environment are the drivers for the exchange of radionuclides between these compartments. The calculated radionuclide concentrations in the biosphere are then used to estimate the radiation doses to humans due to various exposure paths (e.g. ingestion of radionuclides via drinking water and food, inhalation of radionuclides, external irradiation from radionuclides in soils). In this paper we also discuss recent new achievements and planned future work.     

Doses of external exposure in Jordan house due to gamma-emitting natural radionuclides in building materials

The use of building materials containing naturally occurring radionuclides as ⁴⁰K, ²³²Th, and ²³⁸U and their progeny results in external exposures of the residents of such buildings. In the present study, indoor dose rates for a typical Jordan concrete room are calculated using Monte Carlo method. Uniform chemical composition of the walls, floor and ceiling as well as uniform mass concentrations of the radionuclides in walls, floor and ceiling are assumed.Using activity concentrations of natural radionuclides typical for the Jordan houses and assuming them to be in secular equilibrium with their progeny, the maximum annual effective doses are estimated to be 0.16, 0.12 and 0.22 mSv a⁻¹ for ⁴⁰K, ²³²Th- and ²³⁸U-series, respectively. In a total, the maximum annual effective indoor dose due to external γ-radiation is 0.50 mSv a⁻¹. Additionally, organ dose coefficients are calculated for all organs considered in ICRP Publication 74. Breast, skin and eye lenses have the maximum equivalent dose rate values due to indoor exposures caused by the natural radionuclides, while equivalent dose rates for uterus, colon (LLI) and small intestine are found to be the smallest. More specifically, organ dose rates (nSv a⁻¹ per Bq kg⁻¹) vary from 0.044 to 0.060 for ⁴⁰K, from 0.44 to 0.60 for radionuclides from ²³⁸U-series and from 0.60 to 0.81 for radionuclides from ²³²Th-series.The obtained organ and effective dose conversion coefficients can be conveniently used in practical dose assessment tasks for the rooms of similar geometry and varying activity concentrations and local-specific occupancy factors.     

鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的紫外灭活及光复活抑制的研究

研究了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的紫外失活动力学、在日光灯下的光复活现象以及氯对其光复活的抑制。结果表明,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的紫外失活动力学曲线分为滞后区、一级动力学区、拖尾区三阶段,在PBS中的一级动力学失活速率常数为0.9041 cm2/mJ。而紫外灭活后的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌在日光灯下存在光复活。当紫外剂量为10 mJ/cm2时,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌在日光灯下照射3 h内发生明显的光复活,浓度从8.6×103CFU/mL增加到4.1×106 CFU/mL;但是在紫外消毒后,投加1 mg/L的氯可以有效抑制该细菌的光复活,投加2 mg/L的氯可以在10 min内全部灭活。因此,紫外-氯联合消毒能够有效的抑制鼠伤寒沙门氏菌细菌光复活,使其得到高效灭活。

Indoor radon levels in Greek schools

Radon and gamma dose rate measurements were performed in 512 schools in 8 of the 13 regions of Greece. The distribution of radon concentration was well described by a lognormal distribution. Most (86%) of the radon concentrations were between 60 and 250 Bq m⁻³ with a most probable value of 135 Bq m⁻³. The arithmetic and geometric means of the radon concentration are 149 Bq m⁻³ and 126 Bq m⁻³ respectively. The maximum measured radon gas concentration was 958 Bq m⁻³. As expected, no correlation between radon gas concentration and indoor gamma dose rate was observed. However, if only mean values for each region are considered, a linear correlation between radon gas concentration and gamma dose rate is apparent. Despite the fact that the results of radon concentration in schools cannot be applied directly for the estimation of radon concentration in homes, the results of the present survey indicate that it is desirable to perform an extended survey of indoor radon in homes for at least one region in Northern Greece.
