Radiation doses due to fabrication of fertilizers in Nordenham

Creators

Description

The nuclear power plant Wuergassen operates on the Weser river; next to it is the Guano-plant that produces fertilizers from raw phosphates emitting gypsum as waste product into the river (several 100 t/d). The raw material as well as the waste product have increased U- and Ra contents that contaminate the Weser upstream of the planned nuclear power plant Esensham. (HP)
