Abstract: In seismically active areas, waste-containment systems (WCS) can be damaged by earthquakes that generate significant ground acceleration. In such circumstances, contaminants can be released into the environment. Current ...

Abstract: Emission of gamma rays from buried and exposed radioactive materials poses health risks at radiologically contaminated sites. Covering the source material with a barrier of adequate thickness and physicochemical composition ...

Abstract: Herein, the Georadiological Barrier Gamma Attenuation Model that is developed in Part 1 of this paper, is utilized to estimate the attenuation of gamma

Abstract: Containment systems for surface soils that are contaminated with radioactive substances must provide emissions control for both radionuclide migration and ionizing radiation. Herein, a design methodology for georadiological ...
