The purpose of this Report is to review the current status of the application of radionuclide transport models from the point of discharge to the environment to the point of intake by man. This process, called radiological assessment, begins by defining the quantity of radionuclides that are released and enter the environment. Uncertainties in the measurements or estimates of the source term ar…
The state of the art of the impact assessment of recycled hazardous waste materials on surface and ground waters is presented. The topics include chemodynamics, toxicology, modeling and information systems. Due to the wealth of information on this topic, the texts of T. Kassim (ed.): Environmental Impact Assessment of Recycled Wastes on Surface and Ground Waters are published in three separa…
This book presents common themes and best practices for managing social, economic, and environmental risks and impacts at mines in the developed world. Although the term sustainability is often applied to efforts to address social, economic, and environmental risk and impacts, many struggle with its application to the extraction of nonrenewable resources. Obviously, a finite amount of mineral d…
Models are essential tools in evaluating radiological impacts within the safety assessment process and regulatory control of facilities as well as of activities in planned exposure situations, existing exposure situations and emergency exposure situations. Modelling the transfer of radionuclides in the environment and assessing the resulting radiation exposure of people and the environment is n…
This work provides a comprehensive approach to the planning and reliability calculations for the expansion of power generation systems, transmission networks and plant maintenance scheduling. The mathematical and statistical theory required by the reader is introduced and explained by means of examples at the beginning of the text and particular emphasis is given to operational research and rel…
