描述 | Most of the nuclear facilities built since the Second World Warhave ceased active operation and have been decommissioned. Some of thesites are heavily contaminated with radioactive substances. Correctand efficient action to mitigate the radiological consequences of suchcontamination will only be possible when the behaviour ofradionuclides in the terrestrial environment is sufficiently wellknown. Yet radioecologists often find it difficult to study thetransfer of radioactivity in agricultural land and semi-naturalecosystems, because of the complexity and diversity of suchenvironments. The present book presents an analysis of all the factorsthat affect the behaviour of radionuclides as they move from theirpoint of release through the environment and then enter the tissues ofbiota living in the ecosystems, in particular plants and animalsconsumed by humans. .The course on which the book is based was held in a region that isheavily contaminated by radioactive discharges into the environmentduring nuclear weapons fabrication in the 1950s and ‘60s, and due to asevere accidental release following the explosion of a rad-waste tankin 1957. This allowed .in situ. training of the students. .T |
