Description

Specific activities of several radionuclides are discussed. In order to assess the level of radioactivity emitted by coal-fired power plants in detail, these radionuclides have been measured in samples from coal-fired and a brown coal-fired plant in the Federal Republic of Germany. Samples measured are from the various electrostatic precipitator fractions of collected fly ash as well as samples of escaping fly ash taken from the exhaust stream. The nuclides measured are listed and three methods applied are described and discussed. Annual emission rates of airborne radionuclides are calculated for both plants
