The existence and formulation of international law relating to nuclear testing; and the lawfulness of such tests in light of their impact on the environment
… consequences of such destruction and pollution cannot be overstated. In addition to the partial annihilation of living matter around a large area of a hypocentre, the radioactive pollution has repercussions for all ecosystems, whether understood or not. With this in mind, an …

Innovation in Piezoceramic Based Structural Health Monitoring
… water are a lethal combination to migrate the radioactive pollution. This dissertation proposed an effective active sensing based method to detect concrete cracks and to further detect water presence in these concrete cracks, as experimentally demonstrated. Concrete is the most popular …

The history of plutonium and cesium-137 contamination of the Ob River delta sediments
… and planned releases of major amounts of radioactive materials since the dawn of the nuclear era. More important, these sites contain vast amounts radioactive waste, in storage, released to the environment, and injected into geologic formations at relatively shallow depth. In total there …

The distribution and history of nuclear weapons related contamination in sediments from the Ob River, Siberia as determined by isotopic ratios of Plutonium, Neptunium, and Cesium
… Mayak and Tomsk-7 that contain high levels of radioactive waste would result in measurable levels of contamination in the delta within as little as 1 year. Isotopic concentrations in sequentially extracted sediments containing weapons related contamination reveal that the majority of plutonium …

Plutonium isotopes in the North Atlantic
The artificial radionuclide Plutonium (Pu) has been introduced into the environment primarily as fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing during the 1950's and 1960's. Earlier studies of Pu geochemistry are generally based upon the measurement of the combined activities of 239Pu and 249Pu …
