Migration of critical radionuclides in the area of former uranium mine Žirovski vrh

Author(s): Marko Štrok (Author), Borut Smodiš (Supervisor)

Year: 2011

Type: Doctoral dissertation

A study of the migration of critical radionuclide in the area of the former uranium mine of Žirovski vrh in Slovenia was performed. Critical natural radionuclides are defined as the long-lived natural radionuclides from the uranium-radium decay chain, which are 238U, 234U, 230Th, 226Ra, 210Pb and 210Po. In the area …

Overall measurement uncertainty assessment of the k0-based neutron activation analysis

Author(s): Tinkara Bučar (Author), Borut Smodiš (Supervisor)

Year: 2008

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is an analytical method used for determination of the elemental mass fractions in different samples. It is based on the measurement of characteristic radiation, usually γ-rays, emitted from radionuclides formed through the process of neutron irradiation of the target element. The k0-NAA method is an NAA …
