Npp Geological Environment As a Barrier Against Radionuclide Migration
“KOZLODUY” NPP GEOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT AS A BARRIER AGAINST RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION Dimitar Antonov Geological Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, “Acad. G. Bonchev” St., Bl. 24, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria, [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of this report is to present an analysis of the geological settings along “Kozlodyu” NPP area from the viewpoint of a natural, protecting barrier against unacceptable radionuclides migration in the environment. Possible sources of such migration could be an eventual accident in active nuclear plant; radioactive releases either from decommissioned Power Units or from temporary or permanent radwaste repositories. The report is directed mainly to the last case and especially to the site selection for near surface short lived low (LLW) and intermediate level (ILW) radwaste repository. In Bulgaria a preliminary choice of prospective sites in different geological formations has been made. The terrains in the region of Kozloduy are among these sites since they offer advantages from the viewpoint of the local population reaction, the hazards related to RAW transport and the natural conditions. This region is calm in tectonic aspect. It is characterised by VII degree of seismic intensity according to the MSK scale and no active faults have been determined in it. Thick Neogene clays (more than 600 meters), some with sand layers, covered by Quaternary clays and loess have been deposited on the top of Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments. Beyond the range of the river Danube tributaries the relief has low segmentation. The low Danube terraces are covered by loess and the relief lowerings in the loess cover represent an interest in searching prospective sites.

Adaptation of Traditional Carpet Motifs to Modern Textiles
Arts and Design Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6061 (Paper) ISSN 2225-059X (Online) Vol.39, 2016 Adaptation of Traditional Carpet Motifs to Modern Textiles Radostina A. Angelova * Silvia Mladenova Department of Textiles, Technical University of Sofia 8 Kl. Ochridski blvd., 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract Smooth surface carpets are the most typical for the hand woven carpets in Bulgaria. The nowadays production of traditional woven carpets faces several difficulties, however. Therefore the design of smaller, frequently used items, art works and souvenirs could be a key solution for preservation of the carpet. This study would like to draw the attention to Chiprovtsi carpets, as the tradition of carpet-weaving in this Bulgarian town was recently (2014) inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The preservation of the carpets motifs is of importance for the cultural heritage; and their larger dissemination can give them new, meaningful life in the modern times. The study presents basic motifs in the weaving of Chiprovtsi carpet, which are typical, and can be used for designing of new woven items. The motifs adaptation in textile items of today is shown. The design of an ethno bag with woven motifs from old carpets is demonstrated. Keywords: carpet motifs, Bulgarian carpets, Chiprovtsi carpets 1. Introduction The traditionally made woven carpets and rugs in Bulgaria with smooth surface and double faces are distinguished by the captivating wealth of various geometric, human, plant and animal ornaments. Their high artistic and decorative compositions, as well as color harmonies are remarkable (Vakarelski 1974). Woven for centuries, the carpets jealously guard and transmit the tradition of the best aesthetic achievements of the Bulgarian craftsmanship in almost unchanged appearance, and at the same time they continuously develop.
