The measured penetration profiles of every tracer were composed of two parts. There were a steep slope near the surface and a gradual slope in the deeper part. These profiles were successfully explained by considering two diffusion paths in the granite. One diffusion path was fissure with a width of a few microns and another was network of submicron pores. The volume of submicron pores was

Abstract. The PARFUME (PARticle FUel ModEl) code was used to predict the release of fission products silver, cesium, and strontium from tristructural isotropic coated fuel particles and compacts during the first irradiation experiment (AGR-1) of the Advanced Gas

Cesium and strontium tolerant Arthrobacter sp. strain Both cesium and strontium were found to be stable and did not precipitate under the experimental conditions. Measurement of soluble Cs or Sr showed that the cells accumulated the metals gradually as a function of time when exposed to non-inhibitory concentrations of these metals (Fig. 4).

01.09 Radioactivity in Soils (Cesium-134 and Cesium-137) were not yet stored in deeper soil layers. Measurements documented that cesium-137 originating from nuclear testing reached only a penetration depth of 1.7 to 4.7 cm, even in sandy soils, with a transport rate of 0.1 to 0.3 cm/yr. (Gans/Arndt 1987). Soils repeatedly processed and thus possessing a relatively constant storage depth

21.01.2015· Cesium is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, soil, and dust at low concentrations. Granites contain an average cesium concentration of about 1 part of cesium in a million parts of granite (ppm) and sedimentary rocks contain about 4 ppm. Natural cesium is present in the environment in only one stable form (isotope), 133Cs.

The strontium method for measuring geological age has been examined in each of its aspects, and the general conclusion is made that evidence is now sufficient to show this method as capable of providing reliable age measurements. Of the total strontium in the earth's crust, 0.5–1.0% is considered to be radiogenic, almost all of which is

This new clock uses strontium atoms instead, which oscillate even faster than Cesium atoms. If a second was defined in terms of strontium, the equivalent SI unit would be as long as 429,000 billion cycles, which is 50,000 times more than the number in a Cesium cycle. Whereas the Cesium clock lost 1 nanosecond in 30 days, the new strontium clock would lose only 0.2 nanoseconds in 30 days. This

Our focus here is on the isotopes cesium-137, strontium-90 and iodine-131, since they are relatively volatile and thus can contaminate large areas. In addition, it is these isotopes that accounted for most of the harmful effects following the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. Cesium-137. Cesium-137 arises as a cleavage product in the nuclear fission of uranium. Cesium-137 reacts further as a

Densities of the aqueous dilute solutions of rubidium, cesium, strontium, yttrium, and gallium nitrate were measured at different temperatures ranging from (293.15–343.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these density values, the apparent molal volumes were calculated and fitted to Masson's correlation and the temperature dependence was correlated by a second order polynomial.

The thermal and radiation enhanced diffusion of cesium, europium, and strontium were measured between 900C and 1,300C. The ion irradiation significantly enhanced the diffusion of all three fission products with enhancement factors ranging from 100x to 1E7x over thermal diffusion. All three fission products exhibits mixed diffusion kinetics between 900C and 1,300C under purely thermal
