Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria APPLICATION OF URANIUM EXPLORATION DATA AND TECHNIQUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES IAEA, VIENNA, 1995 IAEA-TECDOC-827 ISSN 1011-4289 © IAEA, 1995 Printed by the IAEA in Austria October 1995 FOREWORD During recent years, the degradation of the environment has become the subject of daily conversation, as well as popular and scientific articles. Usually the concern is man's destruction or alteration of the perceived natural environment. More often than not there is little understanding that the earth's natural environment is largely determined by the underlying geology, and its derivatives, modified by the local biosphere and climatic conditions. Without reliable baseline information, studies and monitoring of the environment may be distorted. Exploration for mineral commodities, uranium included, normally utilizes extensive, systematic geophysical and geochemical surveys covering very large areas, often entire countries. This information represents a great wealth of data that could be used to produce baseline information for environmental studies and monitoring. It is with this appreciation that IAEA convened a Technical Committee meeting with the purpose of bringing together experts in uranium exploration, geophysics and geochemistry to discuss and exchange information on the benefits of past exploration data and commonly applied techniques in environmental studies. The Technical Committee Meeting on the Use of Uranium Exploration Data and Techniques in Environmental Studies was held in Vienna from 9 to 12 November 1993 and was attended by 44 participants from 23 countries and one international organization. Thirty-two papers covering case histories on the use of old uranium exploration data to prepare exposure dose rate and radon potential maps, the use of airborne gamma ray spectrometric systems to monitor nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and the use of similar systems in response to emergency measures in the case of accidental releases were presented. The IAEA is grateful to those participants who contributed papers and took part in the discussion. Special thanks are extended to F. Barthel (Germany), A.G. Darnley (Canada), J.K. Otton (USA) and M. Matolin (Czech Republic), who chaired the sessions. The IAEA staff member responsible for the organization and implementation of the meeting was M. Tauchid of the Division of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Management.

Kazakov List of Participants 349 SUMMARY OF THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE MEETING It is not uncommon that a technique developed for a certain purpose might find an application in a completely different field. A notable example is the use of airborne gamma ray spectrometer techniques, developed primarily lor uranium exploration, tor locating and mapping debris of the fallen Russian satellite, COSMOS-954, in northern Canada in 1978; finding lost cobalt sources in the USA; and more recently, rapidly mapping fallout from Chernobyl. Similarly, information collected for the assessment of uranium resources has also been the base for the preparation of natural radioactivity or exposure dose rate and radon potential maps in a number of countries. It is for this reason that a Technical Committee Meeting on the Use of Uranium Exploration Data and Techniques in Environmental Studies was organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The meeting was held in Vienna from 9 to 12 November 1993 and attracted a large number of prominent workers in this field. The technical papers presented represent a collection

  • Fault Lines: Sinai Peninsula 20 OCT 2017 the Sinai Peninsula Is a Complicated Operational Environment (OE)
    Fault Lines: Sinai Peninsula 20 OCT 2017 The Sinai Peninsula is a complicated operational environment (OE). At present, there are a number of interconnected conditions creating instability and fostering a favorable environment for the growth of Islamic extremist groups. Egypt is battling this situation with large-scale security operations, yet militant activity is not diminishing. The Egyptian government, in coordination with the Israeli government, is placing renewed interest on countering insurgent actors in the region and establishing a lasting security. Despite its best effort, Egypt has been largely unsuccessful. A variety of factors have contributed to the continued rise of the insurgents. We submit there are four key fault lines contributing to instability. These fault lines are neither mutually exclusive nor are they isolated to the Sinai. In fact, they are inexorably intertwined, in ways between Egypt, Israel, and the Sinai Peninsula. Issues related to faults create stability complications, legitimacy concerns, and disidentification problems that can be easily exploited by interested actors. It is essential to understand the conditions creating the faults, the escalation that results from them operating at the same time, and the potential effects for continued insecurity and ultimately instability in the region. FAULT LINES Egypt-Israel Relations - Enduring geopolitical tension between Egypt and Israel, and complex coordination needs between are “exploitable dissimilar and traditionally untrusting cultures, has potential for explosive effects on regional stability. sources of Political Instability - Continued political instability, generated from leadership turmoil, mounting security concerns, and insufficient efforts for economic development may lead to an exponentially dire security situation and direct and violent instability in the challenges to the government.

  • The Suitability of Smartphone Camera Sensors for Detecting Radiation Yehia H
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The suitability of smartphone camera sensors for detecting radiation Yehia H. Johary1,2, Jamie Trapp2, Ali Aamry3, Hussin Aamri4, N. Tamam5 & A. Sulieman6* The advanced image sensors installed on now-ubiquitous smartphones can be used to detect ionising radiation in addition to visible light. Radiation incidents on a smartphone camera’s Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor creates a signal which can be isolated from a visible light signal to turn the smartphone into a radiation detector. This work aims to report a detailed investigation of a well-reviewed smartphone application for radiation dosimetry that is available for popular smartphone devices under a calibration protocol that is typically used for the commercial calibration of radiation detectors. The iPhone 6s smartphone, which has a CMOS camera sensor, was used in this study. Black tape was utilized to block visible light. The Radioactivity counter app developed by Rolf-Dieter Klein and available on Apple’s App Store was installed on the device and tested using a calibrated radioactive source, calibration concrete pads with a range of known concentrations of radioactive elements, and in direct sunlight. The smartphone CMOS sensor is sensitive to radiation doses as low as 10 µGy/h, with a linear dose response and an angular dependence. The RadioactivityCounter app is limited in that it requires 4–10 min to ofer a stable measurement. The precision of the measurement is also afected by heat and a smartphone’s battery level. Although the smartphone is not as accurate as a conventional detector, it is useful enough to detect radiation before the radiation reaches hazardous levels.

  • Strontium-Isotope Stratigraphy As a Constraint on the Age of Condensed Levels: Examples from the Jurassic of the Subbetic
    Strontium-isotope stratigraphy as a constraint on the age of condensed levels: examples from the Jurassic of the Subbetic Zone (southern Spain) LUIS M. NIETO*, PEDRO A. RUIZ-ORTIZ*, JAVIER REY and Ma ISABEL BENITOà * Dpto. de Geologı´a, Universidad de Jae´n, E-23071 Jae´n, Spain (E-mail: [email protected]) Dpto. de Geologı´a, EPS Linares, Universidad de Jae´n, E-23700 Jae´n, Spain àDpto. de Estratigrafı´a, U.E.I. Correlaciones Estratigra´ ficas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid-CSIC, E-28040 Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT Condensed levels are often characterized by reworked fossils that may lead to incorrect age assessments. Strontium-isotope stratigraphy is an important chronostratigraphic tool that can be used to verify the biostratigraphic information from condensed beds. This paper describes a study of the 87 Sr/86Sr isotope ratios of 56 belemnite samples collected from 28 stratigraphic sections of the boundary between the Upper Member of the Gavila´n Formation and the Zegrı´ Formation (Pliensbachian, Subbetic Zone). The petrographic and geochemical data (d18O, d13C, concentrations of Fe, Mn and Mg, and the Sr/Mn ratio) suggest that the belemnites have preserved their original marine geochemical composition. After plotting the samples in diagrams of 87Sr/86Sr values against time according to their biostratigraphic age, four different groups (A, B, C and D) were obtained with respect to the reference curve. In groups A and B, the age deduced from the Sr-isotope ratio is in total or partial agreement, respectively, with the biostratigraphic age; therefore the 87Sr/86Sr ratio is a good method for the dating, correlation and assessment of biostratigraphic results.

Code: 66283 An early 20th century book on Pan-Slavism, a movement to unite the Slavic-speaking peoples, at the time divided under the Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, includes articles with problematics of mostly Yugoslav nations, as seen throught the eyes of different nations. The book was published anonymously, but the author was Leopold Lénard (1876-1962). Lénard (1876-1962), born in Svibno, Slovenia, studied theology and philosophy in Innsbruck (1902–3), Lwow (1903–4) and Vienna (1904–6). He spent his early years after the studies as a priest in Krakow, Warsaw and Slovenia. Lénard eventually moved to Belgrade, where he joined the radical party. He died there died in 1962. He was known as a publisher of pro-Slavic texts in newspapers and magazines in German Slovenian and Serbian language. References: OCLC 255328471. Pirjevec, Avgust: Lénard, Leopold (1876–1962).
