Abstract:

People are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation, but generally the amount, type and duration of exposure to radionuclides (radiation emitters) affects the severity or type of health effect. Nearly all rocks, minerals and soil may contain small amounts of naturally occuring radioactive materials, and when they are incorporated into building materials, these naturally occurring radioactive materials are included as well. Ionization is a process in which a charge portion of a molecule is given enough energy to break away atoms. There are three main kinds of ionizing radiation: alpha particles

Abstract:

The roof and walls in the urban areas contribute to major share in the absorption of solar radiations and also retard the outflow of the absorbed radiation from the building envelope, thereby increasing the global warming by inducing the heat island effect. The impact of using cool roof technologies on the thermal comfort of the office buildings has been estimated. Cool roofs reduce electricity consumption for maintaining the temperature of the air-conditioned buildings in the comfort level and also increase comfort in buildings merely not relying completely on cooling equipment.

Abstract:

The production of human activity has led to the formation of technogenic radiation background, which is formed in its habitat due to initially distributed in the structures of the earth, particularly in rocks, “eternal” natural radionuclides (NRN). In its turn, rocks are the main raw material for building materials and products from them. Natural radionuclides are a source of radiation hazard to humans and their habitats throughout the entire chain of production and use of building materials for the construction of residential, administrative and industrial buildings.

Abstract:

>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Public concern about all radiation and radon exhalation from building materials has been highlighted recently. The purpose of this study is to address this public concern and to investigate the contribution of building materials to indoor radon levels. As in soil and rocks, radon gas is formed inside the building materials by decay of the parent nuclide 226Ra. It is not possible to determine the radon exhalation rate simply from the activity concentration of 226Ra, instead one must measure radon exhalation rates directly from the surface of the material. 22

Abstract:

Greenhouses generally exhibit a greater degree of thermal radiation interaction with the surroundings than other buildings. A number of greenhouse thermal environment analyses have handled the thermal radiation exchange in different ways. Thermal radiation exchange at greenhouse surfaces is of great interest for energy balance. It dominates the heat transfer mechanisms especially between the cover material surface and the surrounding atmosphere. At these surfaces, the usual factors of interest are local temperatures and energy fluxes. The greenhouse surfaces are inclined and oriented in various ways and thus can influence the radiation exchange. The scope of this work is determination of the thermal radiation exchange models as well as effects of surface inclination and orientation on the radiation exchange between greenhouse surfaces and sky. Apart from the surface design and the thermal properties of the cover, the key meteorological parameters influencing longwave and shortwave radiation models were considered in detail. For the purpose of evaluating surface inclination and orientation effects, four identical thermal boxes were developed to simulate the roof and wall greenhouse surfaces. The surface temperatures and atmospheric parameters were noted under all-sky conditions (clear-sky and overcast). Differences in terms of surface-to-air temperature differences at the exposed roof and wall surfaces as influenced by surface inclination and orientation are discussed in this work. Overall, the findings of this work form a basis for decisions on greenhouse design improvements and climate control interventions in the horticultural industry.

Abstract:

One can conceive of at least three potentially catastrophic events involving the energy of the atom: a nuclear accident in which massive quantities of radiation inadvertently are released into the environment including inadvertent nuclear missile launches; nuclear war among nation-states; and nuclear violence inflicted by non-state actors. This chapter focuses on the last of these threats – the dangers posed by nuclear terrorism, a phenomenon that lies at the nexus between what are widely considered to be two of the primary security threats of the modern era. Non-state actors have essentially four mechanisms by which they can exploit civilian and military nuclear assets intentionally to serve their terrorist1 goals: • the dispersal of radioactive material by conventional explosives or other means; • attacks against or sabotage of nuclear facilities, in particular nuclear power plants and fuel storage sites, causing the release of radioactivity; • the theft, purchase, or receipt of fissile material leading to the fabrication and detonation of a crude nuclear explosive, usually referred to as an improvised nuclear device (IND); and • the theft, purchase, or receipt and detonation of an intact nuclear weapon. All of these nuclear threats are real; all merit the attention of the international community; and all require the expenditure of significant resources to reduce their likelihood and potential impact. The threats, however, are different and vary widely in their probability of occurrence, in consequences for human and financial loss, and in the ease with which intervention might reduce destructive outcomes (for a detailed analysis, see Ferguson and Potter, 2005). Nuclear terrorism experts generally agree that the nuclear terror scenarios withthehighestconsequences–thoseinvolvingnuclearexplosives–aretheleast likely to occur because they are the most difficult to accomplish. Conversely, the scenarios with the least damaging consequences – those involving the release of radioactivity but no nuclear explosion – are the most likely to occur because they are the easiest to carry out. Constructing and detonating an IND, for example, is far more challenging than building and setting off a radiological dispersal device (RDD), because the former weapon is far more complex technologically and because the necessary materials are far more difficult to obtain.

Abstract:

We once saw a science fiction movie in which a monster from outer space is first detected because it sets Geiger counters clicking furiously. We were reminded of that movie by the story of how radon in homes first came to wide public attention. A nuclear power plant was built in a town in Pennsylvania, and like all such plants was equipped with radiation detectors, both to protect the health of employees and to prevent anyone from removing nuclear fuel from the plant. A newly employed engineer at the plant registered a high radioactivity when he walked by the detectors. This was not only alarming but surprising: the plant was not yet operating, and there should not have been any radioactive material around. It was quickly established that the source of the radiation was not the plant but the engineer’s house in a nearby suburban community, which had levels of radioactivity almost a thousand times greater than federal standards permit in mines. The radioactivity came from radon gas seeping into the house from the ground. Cigarette smoking is responsible for about 90% of lung cancers, but 10% of the victims of this disease had never smoked. It was already known that miners exposed to radon gas in uranium mines suffered a high rate of lung cancer, and the question immediately arose: could radon gas in homes be another cause of lung cancer? Radon in homes is not a consequence of the atomic bomb or the building of nuclear power plants; it is one of the major sources of the natural background radiation we are all exposed to. It is present even in outdoor air, and at higher concentrations in homes, castles, peasants’ hovels, and caves as long as people have lived in them. It is a product of the decay of the element uranium. Uranium is present to some extent in all minerals, so we expect to find more radon in houses built of stone or mineral products like stone, concrete, and gypsum than in houses built of wood, and we expect to find more of it in basements than in attics.

Abstract:

Measurement of surface levels is essential in waste assessment and in clearing materials from nuclear licensed sites. Radiation measurements in general are much less accurate than most forms of engineering measurement, even in relatively simple conditions, such as radiochemical laboratories. Waste assessment during clearance is far more difficult. The areas of uncertainty include: (1) The intrinsic limitations of the equipment employed. For surface activity measurement, the detector is often a large area alpha + beta scintillation probe connected to a ratemeter. Any detector has an effective e

Abstract:

Adhesive bonding is commonly used in the automotive and aerospace industry, where it has proved its advantages. Nowadays, the bonded joints are starting increasingly used in civil engineering, where they can be applied in façade structure. Traditionally used structural silicones are resistant to the external environment, but their low strength and elasticity do not meet the requirements of civil engineering. The greater spread of higher strength adhesives such as acrylates or polyurethanes is hampered by the lack of knowledge of their ageing resistance. The paper is focused on the experimental
