  • Toxicological Profile for Plutonium
    PLUTONIUM 1 1. PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT This public health statement tells you about plutonium and the effects of exposure to it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites are then placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and are targeted for long-term federal clean-up activities. Plutonium has been found in at least 16 of the 1,689 current or former NPL sites. Although the total number of NPL sites evaluated for this substance is not known, strict regulations make it unlikely that the number of sites at which plutonium is found would increase in the future as more sites are evaluated. This information is important because these sites may be sources of exposure and exposure to this substance may be harmful. When a substance is released from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. This release does not always lead to exposure. You are normally exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance, or by skin contact. However, since plutonium is radioactive, you can also be exposed to its radiation if you are near it. External exposure to radiation may occur from natural or man-made sources. Naturally occurring sources of radiation are cosmic radiation from space or radioactive materials in soil or building materials. Man- made sources of radioactive materials are found in consumer products, industrial equipment, atom bomb fallout, and to a smaller extent from hospital waste and nuclear reactors.

  • Nrc Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-23 Clarification of the Physical Presence Requirement During Gamma Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatments
    UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 October 7, 2005 NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2005-23 CLARIFICATION OF THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE REQUIREMENT DURING GAMMA STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY TREATMENTS ADDRESSEES All gamma stereotactic radiosurgery (GSR) licensees. INTENT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this regulatory issue summary (RIS) to clarify the definition of the term “physically present,” as used in 10 CFR 35.615(f)(3). No specific action or written response is required. BACKGROUND In March 2005, during a licensing visit to a GSR facility, the NRC staff observed that the authorized medical physicist (AMP) did not remain physically present throughout one of the GSR treatments, as required by 10 CFR 35.615(f)(3). Instead, during the treatment, the AMP walked to the other end of the GSR suite and entered a treatment planning room located more than 30.5 meters (100 feet) away from the GSR treatment console. While discussing this incident with the licensee, the NRC staff recognized that the licensee was misinterpreting the physical presence requirement for GSR treatments. Based on the licensee’s interpretation of the regulations, the licensee considered any location within the GSR suite, including the treatment planning room, to be within hearing distance of normal voice from the GSR treatment console. The licensee believed that, within the contiguous boundary of its GSR suite, the human voice has sufficient volume, without electronic amplification, to alert the AMP of an emergency at essentially any location within its suite and the AMP could respond in a timely manner.

  • Appendix: Key Concepts and Vocabulary for Nuclear Energy
    Appendix: Key Concepts and Vocabulary for Nuclear Energy The likelihood of fission depends on, among other Power Plant things, the energy of the incoming neutron. Some In most power plants around the world, heat, usually nuclei can undergo fission even when hit by a low- produced in the form of steam, is converted to energy neutron. Such elements are called fissile. electricity. The heat could come through the burning The most important fissile nuclides are the uranium of coal or natural gas, in the case of fossil-fueled isotopes, uranium-235 and uranium-233, and the power plants, or the fission of uranium or plutonium plutonium isotope, plutonium-239. Isotopes are nuclei. The rate of electrical power production in variants of the same chemical element that have these power plants is usually measured in megawatts the same number of protons and electrons, but or millions of watts, and a typical large coal or nuclear differ in the number of neutrons. Of these, only power plant today produces electricity at a rate of uranium-235 is found in nature, and it is found about 1,000 megawatts. A much smaller physical only in very low concentrations. Uranium in nature unit, the kilowatt, is a thousand watts, and large contains 0.7 percent uranium-235 and 99.3 percent household appliances use electricity at a rate of a few uranium-238. This more abundant variety is an kilowatts when they are running. The reader will have important example of a nucleus that can be split only heard about the “kilowatt-hour,” which is the amount by a high-energy neutron.

  • CURIUM Element Symbol: Cm Atomic Number: 96
    CURIUM Element Symbol: Cm Atomic Number: 96 An initiative of IYC 2011 brought to you by the RACI ROBYN SILK www.raci.org.au CURIUM Element symbol: Cm Atomic number: 96 Curium is a radioactive metallic element of the actinide series, and named after Marie Skłodowska-Curie and her husband Pierre, who are noted for the discovery of Radium. Curium was the first element to be named after a historical person. Curium is a synthetic chemical element, first synthesized in 1944 by Glenn T. Seaborg, Ralph A. James, and Albert Ghiorso at the University of California, Berkeley, and then formally identified by the same research tea at the wartime Metallurgical Laboratory (now Argonne National Laboratory) at the University of Chicago. The discovery of Curium was closely related to the Manhattan Project, and thus results were kept confidential until after the end of World War II. Seaborg finally announced the discovery of Curium (and Americium) in November 1945 on ‘The Quiz Kids!’, a children’s radio show, five days before an official presentation at an American Chemical Society meeting. The first radioactive isotope of Curium discovered was Curium-242, which was made by bombarding alpha particles onto a Plutonium-239 target in a 60-inch cyclotron (University of California, Berkeley). Nineteen radioactive isotopes of Curium have now been characterized, ranging in atomic mass from 233 to 252. The most stable radioactive isotopes are Curium- 247 with a half-life of 15.6 million years, Curium-248 (half-life 340,000 years), Curium-250 (half-life of 9000 years), and Curium-245 (half-life of 8500 years).

A pdf version of this document can be downloaded from www.skb.se. Summary This SKB report gives a brief description of ongoing activities on fusion driven systems (FDS) for transmutation of the long-lived radioactive isotopes in the spent nuclear waste from fission reactors. Driven subcritical systems appears to be the only option for efficient minor actinide burning. Driven systems offer a possibility to increase reactor safety margins. A comparatively simple fusion device could be sufficient for a fusion-fission machine, and transmutation may become the first industrial application of fusion. Some alternative schemes to create strong fusion neutron fluxes are presented. 3 Sammanfattning Denna rapport för SKB ger en övergripande beskrivning av pågående aktiviteter kring fusionsdrivna system (FDS) för transmutation av långlivade radioaktiva isotoper i kärnavfallet från fissionskraftverk.
