This paper introduces the resident's additional dose in bone-coal mining areas. The increase of the annual additional effective doses accepted by the residents living in the carbide-brick houses, the staffs working in the carbide-brick houses and the miners working in the bone-coal mining areas of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui Provinces is caused by the rising of environmental radioactive level. The investigation of natural background radiation in the bone-coal mining areas indicated that both mining and utilizing bone-coal cause the rise of environmental radioactive level. The ranges of the annual additional effective dose accepted by the residents, staffs and miners is 1.9-6.8 mSv, 0.5-2.0 mSv and 8.2-71 mSv, and with an average of 3.8 mSv, 1 mSv and 40 mSv, respectively. The annual additional effective doses accepted by part residents and staffs exceed the dose limit of 1 mSv for public exposure, and part miners exceed the dose limit of 20 mSv for occupational exposure. And the contribution of dose caused by inhaled radon to the total additional effective dose is over 76%. 相似文献
An evaluation is made of the dangers to the population from long-lived radioactive products distributed over the whole globe after the explosion of an ordinary (fission) bomb and a pure hydrogen (fusion) bomb. The pure hydrogen bomb considered is a deuterium-tritium bomb.Gonad and bone doses are calculated, with the resulting numbers of births with hereditary diseases and cases of leukemia (blood cancer). In the case of a hydrogen bomb the active elements are C14 and H3, and for an ordinary bomb they are Sr90, Cs137 and C34. The distribution of the radioisotopes in nature and in the organism is evaluated. The case of s ground burst of a hydrogen bomb is also considered. The total amount of energy from the radioactive decay of the explosion products of a deuterium-tritium bomb is greater by s factor of three than that for an ordinary bomb. The radiation dose to the tissues and the number of victims to radioactive fallout over all time are about the same for 10 megatons TNT equivalent of both types of bombs, These doses are (rounded off):
Thus in terms of the radiation damage caused to the world population, a pure hydrogen (deuterium-tritium) bomb cannot be considered less dangerous than an ordinary bomb.The author considers it his pleasant duty to thank A. P. Vinogradov, N. P. Dubinin, V. M. Klechkovskii, A. V. Lebedinskii, and A. D. Sakharov for valuable discussion of the questions considered, and for advice. 相似文献

We have developed a LOcal-scale High-resolution atmospheric DIspersion Model using Large-Eddy Simulation (LOHDIM-LES) to assess the safety at nuclear facilities and to respond to emergency situations resulting from accidental or deliberate releases of radioactive materials (e.g., a terrorist attack in an urban area). In parts 1–4, LESs of turbulent flows and plume dispersion over a flat terrain, around an isolated building, within building arrays with different obstacle densities, and within an actual urban area were performed, which showed the basic performance comparable to wind tunnel experimental technique. In this study, we extend the LOHDIM-LES to turbulent flows and plume dispersion in an actual urban area under real meteorological conditions by coupling with a meso-scale meteorological simulation model. The LES results of wind speed, wind direction, and concentration values are generally reproduced well. It is concluded that our coupling approach between LES and meso-scale meteorological models is effective in detailed simulations of turbulent flows and plume dispersion in urban areas under real meteorological conditions. 相似文献
AbstractThe International Atomic Energy Agency' (IAEA) Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material require compliance with various radiation protection control measures and also require the competent authority to arrange for periodic assessments of the radiation doses to workers and to members of the public. It is a two-fold approach of controls and assessments. Periodic reviews of the radiological impact arising from the transport of radioactive materials by road, rail, sea and air, have been undertaken by NRPB on behalf of the UK Competent Authority. Dose assessments were made using estimated exposure times together with measured and extrapolated dose rates from ‘near-field’ regions close to consignments, ‘mid-field’ regions occupied by transiently exposed persons and ‘far-field’ regions occupied by members of the public. The results show that annual doses to workers and public are generally small fractions of dose limits. The exception is a small group of driver/handlers involved with packages for medical and industrial use. Compliance with the Regulations has ensured that a sufficient degree of control exists. Originally, most packages were small compared with the distances to exposed persons. Point source geometry was therefore used. More recently, it has been estimated that only a minority of all consignments of radioactive material is of sufficiently small dimensions for point source geometry to continue to apply. Instead, initial despatches of radionuclide packages can consist of consignments of several cubic metres in size, and only at tertiary despatch level would point source geometry prevail. However, for all physically large loads, the measured dose rates do not decline as rapidly as point source geometry would suggest based on the TI value. Development of the methodology adopted by the IAEA Regulations over some 40 years has introduced parameters to compensate in part for these levels of dose rate, and, together with operational improvements in transport procedures and practices, have ensured that annual doses remain low, well below dose limits. The methodologies employed for Regulatory control measures and those for assessment of annual doses, differ with the former based on robust and conservative models. For dose assessment purposes, realistic data are used based on measured dose rates and exposure times. 相似文献
The radioactive concentration in the primary loop and the radioactive release for both normal operations and accidents for the HTR-10 are calculated and presented in the paper. The coated-particle fuel is used in the HTR-10, which has good performance of retaining fission products. Therefore the radioactive concentration in the primary loop of the HTR-10 is very low, and the amount of radioactive release to the environment is also very small for both normal operation and accident conditions. The radiation doses to the public caused by radioactive release for both normal operations and accidents are given in the paper. The results show that the maximum individual effective dose to the public due to the release of airborne radioactivity during normal operations is only 1.4×10−4 mSv a−1, which is much lower than the dose limit (1 mSv a−1) stipulated by Chinese National Standard GB8703-86. For depressurization accident and water ingress accident, the maximum individual whole-body doses to man are only 7.7×10−2 and 2.0×10−1 mSv, thyroid doses only 1.7×10−1 and 1.1 mSv, respectively. They are much lower than the prescribed minimum of emergency intervention level (whole-body dose: 5 mSv, thyroid dose: 50 mSv) for sheltering measures stipulated by the Chinese Nuclear Safety Criterion HAD002/03. The conclusion is that the environmental impact is very small for normal operations and accidents for the HTR-10, and the requirements stipulated in the Chinese Nuclear Safety Criterions are satisfied perfectly. 相似文献
