南海现代珊瑚骨骼中放射性核素特征指纹

利用地表实验室高纯锗γ谱仪、中国锦屏极深地下实验室高纯锗γ谱仪、低本底β计数器系统测定我国南海1500km空间跨度上10个不同站位、5种不同种类和形状的现代珊瑚骨骼中6种最主要的天然放射性核素（²³⁸U、²²⁶Ra、²²⁸Ra、⁴⁰K）和人工放射性核素（¹³⁷Cs和⁹⁰Sr）的含量，获得现代珊瑚骨骼中放射性核素平均活度排序为²³⁸U（29.94Bq/kg） > ⁴⁰K（11.72Bq/kg） > ²²⁸Ra（6.37Bq/kg） > ²²⁶Ra（3.16Bq/kg） > ⁹⁰Sr（1.21Bq/kg） > ¹³⁷Cs（<0.06Bq/kg）.除了岸礁的珊瑚骨骼中²²⁸Ra活度高于环礁的珊瑚骨骼中²²⁸Ra活度的现象外，不同种类、不同离岸距离的珊瑚骨骼之间的同种放射性核素活度没有显著差异.本研究进一步对比珊瑚骨骼、珊瑚礁区沉积物、非珊瑚礁区的海洋沉积物、全球土壤的放射性核素活度含量，阐明珊瑚礁区是地表罕见的极低放射性水平区域，并指出现代珊瑚骨骼具有极低的²²⁶Ra/²³⁸U活度比值（~0.1）和极高的⁹⁰Sr/¹³⁷Cs活度比值（1000）的指纹特征.     

Risk discourses and governance of high-level radioactive waste storage in Taiwan

Policy scholars have indicated that the quality of the solution to a perceived social problem depends on the adequacy of its framing. This paper examines how policy stakeholders and local residents frame the issue of the radioactive waste storage facility in Taiwan, the limits of institutional mechanisms in decision-making processes, and the implications of the deliberative forums undertaken by the national Stop Nukes Now organisation. The controversy illustrates the problems of a knowledge gap and the top-down procedures as well as the challenges that Taiwan faces in becoming a nuclear-free country. This case demonstrates civic society organisations’ efforts to challenge the ‘social–technical divide’ and technical experts’ prior definition of the ‘problems’ and selection of a ‘solution’. Deliberative forums enable the participation of affected communities to shape public discourses, which helps to strengthen public communication, improves citizen consciousness of nuclear waste issues, and attempts to link wider communities and public interests.

核电厂大型自然通风冷却塔对气载流出物扩散的影响

为深入研究大型自然通风冷却塔及其湿热羽对内陆核电厂气载流出物扩散影响,应用计算流体力学软件STAR-CCM+提供的k-ε湍流模型模拟了单一冷却塔的运行和停机对不同位置、不同释放高度污染物扩散的影响,结果表明：当释放高度为10m,释放点位于停机冷却塔迎风侧时,释放点下风向的地面轴线弥散因子相比于没有冷却塔时普遍降低1/3~1/2.当释放高度为75m,冷却塔运行时,若释放点位于冷却塔迎风侧时,轴线弥散因子相比于没有冷却塔时普遍增大1~2倍;若释放点位于冷却塔背风侧,则相比于没有冷却塔时普遍降低约1/2.当冷却塔停机时,无论75m高度释放点位于迎风侧还是背风侧,其轴线弥散因子均高于没有冷却塔时.当迎风侧释放高度达到150m时,在释放点下风向约800m的范围内,冷却塔湿热羽使得轴线弥散因子显著增大,但到了800m范围以外,冷却塔湿热羽使得轴线弥散因子减小.     

核电厂厂址保护范围与要求探讨

核电厂厂址选择需要综合考虑各种自然和人为因素,一种宝贵的稀缺资源,考虑核电的长远规划,为防止由于人为因素使核电厂厂址及其周围环境条件遭到破坏,有必要采取有效的措施对核电厂厂址实施保护。核电厂厂址保护内容主要涉及核电厂安全、事故应急条件以及环境相容性等方面,保护范围可分为拟征地范围和非居住区、规划限制区、外围地带等,其中拟征地范围和非居住区是厂址保护中最为核心的区域,应当予以重点保护。通过对相关的保护范围和要求展开探讨,以期对今后核电厂厂址确定相关保护范围和要求具有一定的参考意义。     

Effects of Invasive Parasites on Bumble Bee Declines

Abstract: Bumble bees are a group of pollinators that are both ecologically and economically important and declining worldwide. Numerous mechanisms could be behind this decline, and the spread of parasites from commercial colonies into wild populations has been implicated recently in North America. Commercial breeding may lead to declines because commercial colonies may have high parasite loads, which can lead to colonization of native bumble bee populations; commercial rearing may allow higher parasite virulence to evolve; and global movement of commercial colonies may disrupt spatial patterns in local adaptation between hosts and parasites. We assessed parasite virulence, transmission mode, and infectivity. Microparasites and so‐called honey bee viruses may pose the greatest threat to native bumble bee populations because certain risk factors are present; for example, the probability of horizontal transmission of the trypanosome parasite Crithidia bombi is high. The microsporidian parasite Nosema bombi may play a role in declines of bumble bees in the United States. Preliminary indications that C. bombi and the neogregarine Apicystis bombi may not be native in parts of South America. We suggest that the development of molecular screening protocols, thorough sanitation efforts, and cooperation among nongovernmental organizations, governments, and commercial breeders might immediately mitigate these threats.     

铝在红沿河核电厂地区的初期大气腐蚀表征

目的研究铝在辽宁红沿河核电厂地区的初期大气腐蚀行为。方法按GB/T 6464—1997,将制备好的试样在红沿河核电厂进行大气暴露试验,利用XRD,FTIR,SEM分析技术,对试验6个月和10个月的试样进行腐蚀产物观察与分析。结果铝在红沿河大气暴露腐蚀6个月和10个月样品表面均布满了点蚀坑、腐蚀产物及沉积物,腐蚀产物主要为Al2O3,Al OOH以及一些含氯和含硫的铝盐。腐蚀产物都较疏松,上下表面均有龟裂纹,相邻较近的点蚀坑已相互连接。随腐蚀时间延长,点蚀坑变深变大,朝地面点蚀坑深度已达上百微米。结论铝在红沿河核电厂大气环境中腐蚀以点蚀为主要特征,其腐蚀比普通大气环境中的严重,朝地面的腐蚀比朝天面严重,大气中氯离子及SO2参与铝的腐蚀过程并起促进作用。     

Making sense of complexity in risk governance in post-disaster Fukushima fisheries: A scalar approach

This paper evaluates how geographical theories of scale can give a more robust understanding of the governance of complex environmental risks. We assess the case of fisheries in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture in Japan following the 2011 nuclear disaster. Fisheries in Iwaki and Fukushima more widely are operating on a trial basis as understanding of the marine radiation situation becomes clearer, however questions remain over whether consumers will buy produce and to what extent full-scale fisheries will resume. Based on empirical fieldwork undertaken in Fukushima plus supporting documentary analysis, we construct a scalar account of post-disaster Iwaki fisheries. We use this to argue that framing post-disaster fisheries governance at the municipal scale rather than the prefectural scale has opened up opportunities for enacting the more two-way forms of risk governance that contemporary environmental issues may require. We also argue locally-situated ‘experts’ (e.g. fisheries extension officers and citizen science groups) play a key role in negotiating citizens’ and fishers’ relationships with larger-scale scientific discourses due to their ability to work across scales, despite having less techno-scientific expertise than their national-level counterparts. In turn, we suggest that in governance of complex environmental issues, policymakers ought to (a) consider how community-level expectations may differ from risk governance processes developed at larger scales; (b) identify key institutions or figures who can work across scales and support them accordingly; and (c) show cognisance to the social effects that may arise from spatial demarcation of environmental problems.     

THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF DUAL PURPOSE NUCLEAR DESALINATION OF GROUND WATER1

ABSTRACT: The economic feasibility of a large scale dual purpose (desalting water and power production) facility were evaluated. Although a site in the Tularosa basin of southern New Mexico was chosen as a case study for this analysis, it is believed that the approach and consequential results would be applicable to alternative sites in the Southwest. The basic project evaluated included: a) a ground water well field; b) a dual purpose, nuclear, desalination plant; c) a mineral recovery plant; and d) a reservoir for recreation and irrigation storage. Principle project outputs included electrical power, minerals, recreation, and water for either irrigated agricultural production or export to an adjoining river basin. Two alternative project designs were developed for detailed analysis. The first alternative encompassed all major project components. The results, in discounted net values used to assess the feasibility of the project, were essentially negative; that is, values were less than zero for full scale development. The net benefits ranged from $-986.57 million at a 5 percent discount rate, to $-1,137.528 million at a discount rate of 10 percent. In the second alternative, exportation of the desalted water from the Tularosa basin to two adjacent rivers was analyzed with somewhat better net benefits, ranging from $-382,527 million to $-478,612 million at the 5 and 10 percent discount rates.
