The determination of major radionuclides in the surroundings of thermal power plant Novaky

An important and fundamental fact in the operation of nuclear power plants is that there is no production of greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions especially nitrogen oxides NOx, carbon oxides CO and CO2, sulfur dioxide and fly ash. Alpha radionuclides in fly ash from thermal power Novaky 238U, 234U, 235U, 239,240 Pu, 238Pu and 241Am were separated on extraction-chromatographic sorbents TRU Resin and Resin UTEVA involved in the vacuum box in tandem. Samples for the measurement of alpha radionuclides were measured on a double-chamber 576A spectrometer with ULTRA Alpha Detector 600, EG and G ORTEC. There was not detected any increased activity value of uranium isotopes comparing the activity of 238U and 234U with the Slovakian Collection of Laws 345/2006. (authors)
