The determination of 241Am in the environment is of importance in monitoring its release
and assessing its environmental impact and radiological risk. This paper aims to give an …

Measurements of the long-lived radionuclide 236 U are an important endeavor, not only in
nuclear safeguards work, but also in terms of using this emerging nuclide as a tracer in …

Isotopic ratios of radioactive releases into the environment are useful signatures for
contamination source assessment. Uranium is known to behave conservatively in sea water …

In order to measure trace 236 U and 236 U/238 U in environmental samples with a high
matrix effect, a novel and simple method was developed that makes the digestion and …

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) and alpha spectrometry were used to determine
uranium (236U, 238U, 234U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 240Pu) in sea and river water …

A broad range of contaminants has been recorded in sediments of the Loire River over the
last century. Among a variety of anthropogenic activities of this nuclearized watershed …

Plutonium distribution was studied in an undisturbed sediment core sampled from the
Tvären bay in the vicinity of the Studsvik nuclear facility in Sweden. The complete analysis …

The first extensive study on 236 U in the North Pacific Ocean has been conducted. The
vertical distribution of 236 U/238 U isotopic ratios and the 236 U concentrations were …

236U was analyzed in an ombrotrophic peat core representing the last 80 years of
atmospheric deposition and a minerotrophic peat sample from the last interglacial period …

Owing to the strong earthquake and subsequent tsunami in March 2011, the Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was exceedingly damaged and is currently under …
