Radiological Risk Assessment and Environmental Analysis comprehensively explains methods used for estimating risk to people exposed to radioactive materials released to the environment by nuclear facilities or in an emergency such as a nuclear terrorist event. This is the first book that merges the diverse disciplines necessary for estimating where radioactive materials go in the environment and the risk they present to people. It is not only essential to managers and scientists, but is also a teaching text. The chapters are arranged to guide the reader through the risk assessment process, beginning with the source term (where the radioactive material comes from) and ending with the conversion to risk. In addition to presenting mathematical models used in risk assessment, data is included so the reader can perform the calculations. Each chapter also provides examples and working problems. The book will be a critical component of the rebirth of nuclear energy now taking place, as well as an essential resource to prepare for and respond to a nuclear emergency.
Twelve reed gages were installed for horizontal and vertical displacement shock spectrum measurements on the GNOME event. Seven of the 12 reed gages were placed on the earth's surface at various ranges from surface zero. Four of the gages were placed in the GNOME tunnel. One gage was placed in the International MineralsAND Chemical Corporation Mine (Shaft No. 4) approximately nine miles from the GNOME site. Usable data were obtained from nine of the 10 records recovered to date. The gage in the IMC mine recorded no displacements. Records from the gages in tunnel nearest zero were not recovered. (Author).
