Radiation Monitoring - Methods
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Radiation Monitoring'The observation, either continuously or at intervals, of the levels of radiation in a given area, generally for the purpose of assuring that they have not exceeded prescribed amounts or, in case of radiation already present in the area, assuring that the levels have returned to those meeting acceptable safety standards.

During the decommissioning and maintenance of some of the facilities at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site in Washington State, workers have potential for a Sr intake. However, because of worldwide radioactive fallout, Sr is present in our ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 The objectives of this study were to characterize temporal patterns of magnetic fields (Bavg) and two measures of neutral-to-earth voltage: the voltage between the water line and earth (VW-E), and the voltage between bathtub plumbing fixtures and ... Read more...
Experimental and theoretical study of radon distribution in soil.
29 Sep 2009 Radon concentration as a function of the soil depth (0-2.6 m) was measured during the years 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 on the Aristotle University campus. Radium distribution in soil was found constant. On the contrary, as expected, radon concentration ... Read more...
