Title: Analysis of radiational and chemical risks for the areas affected by accidents in the Southern Urals and Chernobyl
Author: Katkova, Margarita Nikolayevna
Reference: Obninsk, 2009
Keywords: cesium-137, strontium-90, radiation risk, chemical risk, accident in the Southern Urals (Chelyabinsk region, v.Novogorny), Chernobyl nuclear power plant, population
Abstract: The purpose of the research: analysis and evaluation of radiation and chemical risks to the population in the areas affected by the massive radiation accidents at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (south-west of the Bryansk region) and in the Southern Urals (Chelyabinsk region, p.Novogorny).
“In the 25-year post-Chernobyl period we have gone through many fears. What frightened our people in 1986 was the increased radiation background and its consequences. In reality, nothing as such happened.”

Abstract: “Some organizations, which call themselves “ecological”, have declared that the incidence of cancer after Fukushima NPP accident will be 120 thousand. Our specialists have calculated the possible incidence of thyroid cancer in children of Fukushima, on the basis of Japanese official data. Their calculation show no such possibilities.”

Reference: Patent, 05.05.2004, Sosnovyi Bor patent holder: State enterprise scientific-research centre of technology named after A.P. Aleksandrov
Keywords: liquid waste, neutralization, filter, ion exchange
Abstract: The invention relates to treatment of liquid radioactive wastes. For the current neutralizing method mechanical filter and ultrafilter is utilized. Subsequently conducted desalination through reverse osmosis filter, with advanced treatment on ion-exchange filters, with reagent treatment of spent ion-exchange resins, potassium ferrocyanide and cobalt salts. Then, the treated resin is used as sorption prefilter, in which waste treatment is conducted, before inputting it into the ion-exchange filter.

Reference: Patent, 10.07.2000, Gatchina patent holder: B.P. Konstantinov Institute of nuclear physics, St. Petersburg RAS, V.G. Khlopin Radium Institute
Keywords: zirconium, treatment, extraction, reactor
Abstract: The invention relates to retrieving of zirconium from shell of fuel elements and other parts, exposed to zirconium, of a nuclear reactor, providing also a method of treatment of zirconium before its reuse. The Method includes operations of dissolving alloy, zirconium extraction into an organic solvent, and re-extraction of the purified zirconium and its precipitation from aqueous phase. The operation is conducted under temperature of 100~130℃. The components of the solution are the following: HNO3: 300-800kg/m3, K2Zr (Hf) F6: 5-32 kg/m3, water.
WHO: Risk of cancer disease among inhabitants of Fukushima is law.
Reference: RIA news, 28. November, 2012
Keywords: Fukushima, harmful fallouts, biological consequences of ion exposure
Abstract: WHO reports that thyroid cancer incident among adolescence and adults, living in vicinity of Fukushima Daiichi NPP, should be extremely law. If the incidence among people living in areas without radioactive contamination is 0.76% for female and 0.21% for masculine, the same for the ones living in contaminated areas is 0.85% for female and 0.23 for masculine. This is the first of such estimation reported by WHO, and it is based on data from the disasters in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
nearly 170 workers at Fukushima received high dose of radiation

Keywords: Liquidators, Fukushima, dosimeter, Iodine 131
Abstract: Researcher of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster Kiyohiko Mabuchi (US National Cancer institute) says, there might be little increase of carcinoma among liquidators of Fukushima. Comparing Fukushima to Chernobyl, the exposure dose in Japan is much lower than the latter.

Reference: Patent, 27.07.2009, Sosnovyi Bor patent holder: State enterprise scientific-research centre of technology named after A.P. Aleksandrov
Keywords: lead coolants, decontamination
Abstract: The current invention relates to nuclear power engineering and can be used for treatment and decontamination of equipment, operating in lead coolants, and for refinement (neutralization) of liquid radioactive waste generated during its purification, concentration and solidification. After decontamination of equipment with solutions of acetic acid, containing oxygen, stochiometric quantity of orthophosphoric acid or sulfuric acid or excess of phosphoric acid is introduced into the solution of liquid waste; then, generated heterogeneous product is treated with heat treatment at a temperature of 100~120℃; acetic acid condensate is returned to the process of decontamination cycle, and the treatment salt concentrates, produced by heat treatment, is treated with traditional binders and phosphate curing agents.
Release of Radionuclides and Chelating Agents from Full-System Decontamination, Ion-Exchange Resins
Author: D.W. Awkers
Reference: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory commission, 2002
Keywords: decontamination, ion exchange resin, extraction
Abstract: As part of a study being performed for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), small-scale waste specimens were collected following an AP/CAN-DEREM full-system decontamination of the reactor vessel of the Indian Point 2 reactor vessel in March 1995. CAN-DEREM is a modified version of a reduction process developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. for that country’s heavy-water CANDU reactors. The INEEL research was undertaken to support licensing needs for reviewing radiological and chemical data and information to address uncertainties associated with disposal of low-level radioactive decontamination waste in performance assessment modeling. This report presents information on radionuclide and chelate characteristics of decontamination radwaste on ion-exchange resins. The information is expected to reduce uncertainties associated with developing radionuclide inventories for the performance assessment.
