Particles were completely isolated in water using visual and radiometric methods. The particles were attached electrostatic to a plastic support and could easily be moved to any container for leaching studies or other type of studies. Leaching and dissolution studies performed within the project indicate that some particles are relatively easily destroyed or leached while others are more refractory. The results shows that even though the oxide particles are hard to completely dissolve they release material even when exposed to weak solvents like water and salt solutions. Exposures to lung simulant fluids show relatively slow dissolution rates comparable to what is found using only water. Sequential extraction of particles shows that variation between particles is very large; some dissolve easily while some does not. Of radiological importance is the disruption of particles when exposed to dissolution. Key words Thule, actinide particles, hot particles, plutonium, uranium, Pu-239, U-235, leaching, lung simulant fluid, stomach simulant fluid NKS-215 ISBN 978-87-7893-285-3 Electronic report, March 2010 NKS Secretariat NKS-776 P.O.

  • ROLF Gilbergl Numerous Place Names in Greenland Are Beset With
    Thule ROLF GILBERGl Numerous place names in Greenland are beset with some confusion, and Thule is possibly the most nonspecific of them all. An attempt has been made in the following paper, therefore, to set out some of the various meanings which have been attached to the word. ULTIMATHULE In times of antiquity, “Thule” was the name given to an archipelago far to the north of the Scandinavian seas.The Greek explorer Pytheas told his contemporaries about this far-awayplace, and about the year 330 B.C.he sailed northward from Marseilles in France in search of the source of amber. When he reached Britain, heheard of an archipelagofurther north known as “Thule”.The name was apparently Celtic;the archipelago what are now known as the Shetland Isles. AfterPytheas’ time, the ancientscalled Scandinavia “Thule”. In poetry,it became“Ultima Thule”, i.e. “farthest Thule”, a distantnorthern place, geo- ‘ graphically undefined and shrouded in esoteric mystery. As the frontiers of man’s exploration gradually expanded, the legendary Ultima Thule acquired a more northerly location. It moved with the Vikings from the Faroe Islands to Iceland, and, when Iceland was colonized in the ninth century A.D., Greenland became “Thule” in folklore. THULESTATION Perhap Knud Rasmussen had these historical facts in mind when he founded a trading post in 1910 among the Polar Eskimos and called the store “Thule Station”. The committee managing Rasmussen’s station was, incidentally, always referred to as the Cape York Committee, and the official name of the station was “Cape York Station, Thule”. Behind the pyramid-shaped base of the rock called Mount Dundas by British explorers, but generally known as Thule Mountain, on North Star Bay, the best natural harbour in the area, the Polar Eskimos hadplaced their settlement, Umanaq (meaning heart-shaped).

  • Reykjavik to Kangerlussuaq Expedition (Silver Cloud)
    REYKJAVIK TO KANGERLUSSUAQ EXPEDITION (SILVER CLOUD) Greenland – that ultimate traveller’s destination – is a combination of natural beauty laid bare, zero commercialisation and opportunities for extreme wildlife watching on Greenland’s eastern shore. Follow the ice’s edge on this voyage that sees the world’s most sparsely populated country in all her glory! Expect a lot of Norse history, natural hot springs ripe for bathing, never setting sun, and smatterings of colourful painted cottages flanking the shores. ITINERARY Day 1: Reykjavik The capital of Iceland’s land of ice, fire and natural wonder, Reykjavik is a city like no other - blossoming among some of the world’s most vibrant and violent scenery. Home to two-thirds of Iceland’s population, Reykjavik is the island’s only real city, and a welcoming and walkable place - full of bicycles gliding along boulevards or battling the wind when it rears up. Fresh licks of paint brighten the streets, and an artistic and creative atmosphere embraces studios and galleries - as well as the kitchens where an exciting culinary scene is burgeoning. Plot your adventures in the city's hip bars and cosy cafes, or waste no time in venturing out to Iceland’s outdoor adventures. Reykjavik’s buildings stand together in a low huddle - below the whip of winter’s winds - but the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church is a solid exception, with its bell tower rising resolutely over the city. Day 2: At sea Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do.

Sammenfatning: I 2002 gennemførte Danmarks Miljøundersøgelser en recipientundersøgelse ud for Thule Air Base (TAB) for at vurdere, om aktiviteterne og specielt de efterladte dumpe på TAB har belastet det marine miljø med forurenende stoffer. Undersøgelsen viser, at der findes flere forurenings- kilder som f. eks. affaldsdumpe, som bevirker at niveauet af enkelte kontaminanter er forhøjet i området ved TAB. Undersøgelsen viser imidlertid også, at denne påvirkning er lokal inden for et nærområde på omkring 5-10 km fra TAB.
