3 Artificial environmental radioactivity
Creators
Description
Nuclear explosions re an important source of artificial radionuclides. In addition to nuclear fission, radionuclides are produced by interaction of emitted neutrons with atomic nuclei of the ambient atmosphere, soil and water. The production is described of some radionuclides (T, 14C, 85Kr, 89Sr, 90Sr, 137Cs, 131I, 133I, transuranium elements) contained in radioactive fallout. Basic information is given on the mining and processing of uranium ores, on nuclear reactors and radionuclides produced in chain reactions. The causes are analyzed of accidents which led to environmental contamination. (J.C.)
