The radioecological relevance of actinide particles 1 did not first become a matter of concern
following the nuclear accidents at Fukushima, Chernobyl, or Three Mile Island. Public and …

When environmental impact and risks associated with radioactive contamination of
ecosystems are assessed, the source term and deposition must be linked to ecosystem …

A series of different nuclear sources associated with the nuclear weapon and fuel cycles
have contributed to the release of radioactive particles to the environment. Following nuclear …

This chapter discusses key aspects related to the assessment of the environmental impact of
plutonium, such as sources, speciation, and underlying processes important for ecosystem …

We made an assessment of the levels of radionuclides in the ocean waters, seafloor and
groundwater at Bikini and Enewetak Atolls where the US conducted nuclear weapons tests …

The remediation of contaminated land using plants, bacteria and fungi has been widely
examined, especially in laboratory or greenhouse systems where conditions are precisely …

Abstract Atmospheric nuclear tests (1945–1980) have led to radioactive fallout across the
globe. French tests in Polynesia (1966–1974) may influence the signature of fallout in South …

This chapter discusses key aspects related to the assessment of the environmental impact of
plutonium, such as sources, speciation, and underlying processes important for ecosystem …

Plutonium distribution was studied in an undisturbed sediment core sampled from the
Tvären bay in the vicinity of the Studsvik nuclear facility in Sweden. The complete analysis …

We present plutonium (Pu) and uranium (U) isotopic fingerprints (or signatures) in
environmental samples collected at Bikar Atoll. Bikar is the second–most northern atoll of the …
