Depleted uranium (DU) sits at the intersection of radioactive-waste management, resource policy and environmental radioactivity. Its initial specific activity is low, and it may be retained as a potential resource or managed within low-leve...
Integrated assessment of natural and technologically enhanced radioactive materials (TENORM) in oil-producing regions: Implications for environmental health risk and sustainable remediation [0.03%]

Radioactivity characterization of oil scale by gamma-ray spectrometry has been done for many years, often focusing on 226Ra and 228Ra. However, due to the severe disequilibrium in the 238U there also exists unusually high levels of 210Pb. B...

The cosmogenic radionuclide 81Kr (half-life 229 ka) is widely used to date groundwater and ice on 104-106 year timescales. Anthropogenic nuclear activities can lead to an increase of 81Kr in the atmosphere, but this contribution has not bee...
