Study on 226Ra concentrations in the CFP plant areas and on the radioactivity of lignites and cements containing fly ash

Creators

Description

Local sampling networks have been installed in the vicinity of coalfired power plants in order to study the radioactive contamination of the environment due to escaped fly ash. Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations have been performed taking into account different meteorological conditions (atmospheric stability, air velocity, etc.) and different characteristics of the power stations (stack diameter, gases velocity) in order to examine the magnitude X/Q in relation to the distance from the power station. Qualitative and quantitative determinations of the radioactivity of lignites and of their ashes have been performed for different areas. Cement samples containing pulverised fly ash as an additive have also been examined. (author)
