The estimate of the release of radioactive substances (133Xe, 131I, and 137Cs) into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is presented. It was obtained using the FLEXPART Lagrangian dispersion model and the data of local ground-based measurements of radiation dose rate. The computation period covers the active phase of the nuclear disaster that lasted 20 days after the tsunami. To get the quantitative characteristics of emissions of radioactive substances, the inverse modeling based on the Bayesian approach is used. The emissions were estimated for three altitudes. The total emissions are equal to 2.1 + 0.4 kg (14 000 + 2700 PBq) for 133Xe, (3.8 + 0.4) x 10-2 kg (174 + + 18 PBq) for 131I, and 5.7 + 1.2 kg (18 + 4 PBq) for 137Cs that is consistent with the results of other studies. Retrieved emissions were used to provide the forward modeling for mapping the areas of radionuclide deposition. The developed method of retrieving the emission of radioactive substances makes a useful instrument that operationally estimates and localizes the areas of potential pollution in case of nuclear accidents and could be used for making decisions on the population evacuation.  相似文献

A method for identifying past radiation events from dated layers of bottom sediments in stagnant water bodies is described. Results of an experimental study (2005–2006) of the samples of bottom sediments in the pond of the Timiryazev dendropark in Moscow are considered. The sediment layers are dated with 210Pb. The same radionuclide is used as a tracer for calculating the rate of sedimentation in the pond, which is estimated at 0.3–0.4 cm/year. The maximum 137Cs values are detected in the 0–24 cm column at depths of 7 and 13 cm. The 137Cs peak at a depth of 13 cm is dated as 1963, which reflects the maximum global fallout from the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests. A small peak of this radionuclide at 7 cm is dated as 1986. It appears to be attributed to the long-range fallout after the Chernobyl NPP accident. The origin of the 137Cs maximum at a depth of 13–14 cm is confirmed by characteristic ratios of radionuclide pairs available in the global fallout in the Moscow region. The ratios of 90Sr/137Cs = 0.6 and 239,240Pu/137Cs = 0.03 in the 13–14 cm layer are characteristic of the global radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions. In the layers above this maximum, such ratios vary sharply toward the enhanced 137Cs content in the fallout.  相似文献

The issues of assessing variability of 137Cs fallout of global and Chernobyl origin at reference sites are discussed with a purpose to use this isotope as a tracer for estimating the rates of erosion-accumulative processes. It is shown that local variability of soil contamination by 137Cs at reference sites is within 7–20%, which makes it possible to use the isotope as a tracer. When studies are conducted within drainage basins, the available trend of the atmospheric 137Cs fallout should be taken into account in assessing the soil and sedimentation redistribution.  相似文献

Experimental field and laboratory studies on washout of radionuclides from the snow cover during snow melting were carried out in the winter of 2005/06. In the field studies, a specially equipped runoff site was used. In the laboratory conditions, the experiments were conducted using prepared soil monoliths. In the winter of 2006, 25 g/m2 of water-free cesium chloride (CsCl) and 25 g/m3 of strontium chloride (SrCl2) were put onto the snow cover surface of the runoff site. The snow surface of the soil monolith was coated with a 137Cs-bearing solution, then with SrCl2. Under experimental conditions, practically no surface runoff from the runoff site was recorded. The experiments with the soil monoliths demonstrated that the coefficient of the liquid washout of 137Cs normalized to the runoff layer was within 0.9 × 10?6–1.2 × 10?4 mm?1, and that of 90Sr normalized to the runoff layer was within 2 × 10?–1.6 × 10?4 mm?1.  相似文献

The estimates of 137Cs emissions from the accident happened in Elektrostal at the beginning of April 12, 2013 are presented. The transport of radionuclides and their dry and wet deposition on the surface are computed using the Lagrangian stochastic model of the NOSTRADAMUS software package worked out by Nuclear Safety Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. Prognostic fields of wind (horizontal and vertical components) in the lower troposphere, precipitation, and vertical and horizontal turbulence diffusivity coefficients in the lower atmosphere (up to 4 km) were used as input data. Prognostic fields were obtained using the WRF-ARW numerical mesoscale model.  相似文献

Experimental investigations under field and laboratory conditions of 137Cs washout from the periodically frozen and thawed soils were carried out. The experiments demonstrated that the amount of cesium washed out from the soil after freezing was much larger than from the non-frozen soils and by its intensity it corresponds to the washout under the influence of intensifiers. This fact allows recommending cheap and technologically simple measures for the in-snow runoff control to rehabilitate the contaminated lands.  相似文献

The accumulation factor of radionuclides in river and water body bottom sediments K is an integral magnitude and depends on many parameters. With a two-compartment migration model (water-bottom sediments) an analytical relation is established for the conditions of a steady-state process of radioactive transfer for calculating K depending on the known parameters of radionuclide migration in the aquatic environment. With a reference to cesium 137 the calculated factor value is found for silty sediments in rivers and water bodies under characteristic summertime parameters of migration. The numerical analysis showed that the coefficient of radionuclide distribution in the water-suspension system and turbidity influence mostly the K value for cesium 137. For the practical use of this coefficient, a scheme of its correction is suggested depending on turbidity. An example of its practical use for calculating cesium 137 in water is considered. The calculated and measured volumetric activity values are intercompared.  相似文献

90Sr runoff amounted to 0.22–0.67% of its budget in the catchment; the value is lower for high-latitude rivers running in the zone of frozen and seasonally frozen grounds. The ecological half-period of a decrease in the 90Sr concentration in the river water of Eastern Fennoscandia amounted to 5.9–11.5 years in 1979–1985. The lake waters (Lake Ladoga and Lake Päijänne) were renewed approximately 4–5 times faster than the 90Sr content decreased in these lakes.  相似文献

The results of modeling of 89, 90Sr, 137Cs, and 239, 240Pu migration in the Techa River are compared with observed data. It is shown that taking into account of the process of mass exchange between the main stream of a river and underflow is important for adequate modeling of migration and accumulation of radiative substances in a river. It is difficult to obtain results of modeling corresponding to the observed data if the process is neglected. Taking into account the mass exchange is especially important in developing models for long enough rivers that were polluted by radionuclides during long time. Authors believe that, in future, the considered aspects of modeling radioactive substances in rivers can be generalized on chemical polluting substances with similar physical and chemical properties, for example, heavy metals, phenols, etc.  相似文献

A multi-chamber model of radioactivity migration in reservoirs was developed. It describes transport of radioactive substances in water and in bed sediments taking into account sorbtion of radionuclides on suspended particles. The model provides higher resolution than simplified chamber models do. At the same time, unlike complex two- or three-dimensional dynamic models, it does not require hard-to-obtain data such as detailed data on bathymetry, currents and winds. The model was included into the Sybilla program code that was developed in the framework of the Rosatom project called PRORYV. The model was verified against the observed data on the contamination of the Kiev Reservoir with 137Cs in 1986.  相似文献

The series of δ18O values is presented for all precipitation events in Moscow in 2014. Precipitation samples were taken at the observation site of the Meteorological Observatory of Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU MO), and the isotopic analysis was carried out in the isotopic laboratory of the Department of Geography of MSU. The concentration of stable 18O in precipitation over Moscow in 2014 varied from -0.09 to -26.29‰. The maximum amplitudes of δ18O were registered in March-April and October. The pronounced interrelation was revealed between the oxygen isotopic composition of precipitation and surface air temperature (the correlation coefficient is 0.85). The computation of back trajectories of air masses and the analysis of weather charts demonstrated that the most isotopically light precipitation is typical of relatively cold air masses slowly moving over the continent during the last five days before precipitation. In this case, the ongoing condensation leads to the progressive isotopic depletion of precipitation (more and more isotope-depleted precipitation is registered). On the contrary, fast air transport from the middle and even from high latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean leads to the relatively constant of δ18O values of precipitation.  相似文献

The aerosol deposition rate is computed for some chemical elements from the resuits of studies on the elemental composition of atmospheric aerosol and snow cover in the background and anthropogenic areas in the Primorskii krai as well as for the radionuclide 137Cs and suspended matter from the data of atmospheric radioactive pollution monitoring. Taking into account the differences in sampling methods, the rather close values of deposition rate were obtained for chemical elements and radionuclide.  相似文献

The carbon kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in the reactions of several unsaturated hydrocarbons with chlorine atoms were measured at room temperature and ambient pressure using gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GCC-IRMS). All measured KIEs, defined as the ratio of the rate constants for the unlabeled and labeled hydrocarbon reaction k 12/k 13, are greater than unity or normal KIEs. The KIEs, reported in per mil according to Cl ɛ = (k 12/k 13−1) × 1000‰ with the number of experimental determinations in parenthesis, are as follows: ethene, 5.65 ± 0.34 (1); propene, 5.56 ± 0.18 (2); 1-butene, 5.93 ± 1.16 (1); 1-pentene, 4.86 ± 0.63 (1); cyclopentene, 3.75 ± 0.14 (1); toluene, 2.89 ± 0.31 (2); ethylbenzene, 2.17 ± 0.17 (2); o-xylene, 1.85 ± 0.54 (2). To our knowledge, these are the first reported KIE measurements for reactions of unsaturated NMHC with Cl atoms. Relative rate constants were determined concurrently to the KIE measurements. For the reactions of cyclopentene and ethylbenzene with Cl atoms, no rate constant has been reported in refereed literature. Our measured rate constants are: cyclopentene (7.32 ± 0.88) relative to propene (2.68 ± 0.32); ethylbenzene (1.15 ± 0.04) relative to o-xylene (1.35 ± 0.21), all × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The KIEs in reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons with Cl atoms are similar to previously reported KIEs in Cl-reactions of alkanes with the same numbers of carbon atoms. Unlike the KIEs for previously studied gas-phase hydrocarbon reactions, the KIEs for alkene–Cl reactions do not exhibit a simple inverse dependence on carbon number. This can be explained by competing contributions of normal and inverse isotope effects of individual steps in the reaction mechanism. Implications for the symmetries of the transition state structures in these reactions and the potential relevance of Cl-atom reactions on stable carbon isotope ratios of atmospheric NMHC are discussed.  相似文献

Bryansk Polesie is the most 137Cs-contaminated region of the Russian Federation after the Chernobyl NPP accident, where in 2007 (i.e., 21 years after the accident), the radiation monitoring was conducted within the Russia-Belarus Union State Program. The paper is based on the comparison of data obtained in the settlements and at the nearby landscape sites outside the villages. The 137Cs content variability in the most spread in Polesie soils, the podzols, is considered using observations obtained at the monitoring sites in Svyatsk and Demenka. It is shown that 137Cs is fixed at the surface, in the upper soil horizons, which is explained by a high soil sorption capacity. Vast crest-sink floodplains with the great contrast range of the hydromorphic features, which cause great variability of the 137Cs vertical distribution, are typical for the Polesie landscape; this fact is confirmed by observations obtained at the monitoring sites located in Starye Bobovichi and Ushcherpie. It is shown that Polesie pine forest contamination maintains higher contamination density levels compared to the nearby settlements, pastures, and meadow lands in the fluvial plains. Extrapolation of the contamination density data obtained within the first decade after the accident as of 2007, performed with allowance for the correction for decay and the comparison of these estimates with the new data accumulated in the recent years, does not show any significant contradiction.  相似文献

Quantitative environmental criteria for the radiation protection of aquatic ecosystems, namely, reference concentrations of radionuclides in water are developed. If activity concentrations of radionuclides do not exceed these levels, aquatic biota can be considered completely protected from the negative effects of ionizing radiation. Reference concentrations of radionuclides in environmental objects can be compared directly with the measurement data on radioactive contamination parameters that allows using them for the monitoring data interpretation. Reference concentrations of anthropogenic radionuclides in the sea and fresh water are calculated using the environmental criteria and are compared to the values of reference concentrations computed using the hygienic criterion. It is demonstrated that the current levels of concentration of 90Sr, 137Cs, and tritium in the seas, rivers, and lakes of Russia are considerably lower than the values of reference concentrations of these radionuclides calculated using the environmental criterion.  相似文献

A multicore from Emerald Basin, on the continental margin off Nova Scotia, has a modern 14C age at the top, and other 14C dates indicate a linear sedimentation rate of ~30 cm/ka to 1600 calendar years BP. This rate is great enough to record century-to-millennial scale changes in the surface and deep (~250 m) waters in the basin that are influenced by the Labrador Current. We applied five proxies for seawater temperature changes to the sediments of Emerald Basin, including the percent abundance and the oxygen isotope ratio (d 18O) of the polar planktonic foraminifer N. pachyderma (s.), the unsaturation ratio of alkenones (U k' 37) produced by prymnesiophyte phytoplankton, and the d 18O and Mg/Ca of benthic foraminifera. All five proxies indicate the ocean warmed suddenly sometime in the past 150 years or so. The exact timing of this event is uncertain because 14C dating is inaccurate in recent centuries, but this abrupt warming probably correlates with widespread evidence for warming in the Arctic in the nineteenth century. Because the Canadian Archipelago is one of the two main sources for the Labrador Current, warming and melting of ice caps in that region may have affected Labrador Current properties. Before this recent warming, sea surface temperature was continually lower by 1–2 °C, and bottom water was colder by about 6 °C in Emerald Basin. These results suggest that there was no Medieval Warm Period in the coastal waters off Nova Scotia. Because there is also no evidence of medieval warming in the Canadian archipelago, it seems likely that coastal waters from Baffin Bay to at least as far south as Nova Scotia were continually cold for ~1500 of the past 1600 years.  相似文献

对包括拉格朗日粒子模式在内的大气扩散模式,提供准确的源项有助于获取更好的模拟结果。以日本福岛核电站2011年3月发生的核泄漏事故为研究对象,采用日本原子能机构Terada源项以及挪威大气研究所Stohl源项,利用FLEXPART(FLEXible PARTicle dispersion mode)模拟了放射性物质137Cs在全球大气中扩散传输的过程,并利用大气辐射监测数据讨论了基于两种源项模拟烟云的时空分布特征,探讨了源项对模拟结果的不确定性影响。结果显示:Terada源项及Stohl源项之间释放总量、释放速率、释放高度等虽然略有差别,但总体趋势描述相似,使得基于两源项的模拟烟云的扩散过程及影响区域基本一致。两模拟烟云在中纬度西风带作用下,均表现为自西向东扩散,经过太平洋、美洲大陆、欧洲,最后在整个北半球传输。基于两源项在亚洲—太平洋及北美大陆等近距离的模拟烟云的首次到达时间与首次监测时间吻合度较好,在全球尺度上基于Stohl源项的模拟在首次到达时间方面表现更优。其次,基于两源项进行全球尺度的模拟,近距离站点的模拟效果优于远距离站点模拟效果,且基于Stohl源项的模拟精度较好,Terada源项可能存在低估。另外模式进行全球尺度的模拟时,针对不同粒子数目对模拟结果的影响进行了分析,发现粒子数目的多寡对模拟精度有所影响,也影响模拟烟云扩散后期的疏密程度。  相似文献

The Petryanov air filters combined into half-year sets were analyzed for the presence of 40K, 137Cs and 22Na by means of low-background gamma rays spectrometry. Each sample contains aerosols from more than 1 Mm3 of air. Samples were collected in ground level air at Kraków (Southern Poland) from 1996 to 2002. Activity concentrations of 40K are almost constant with the mean of 14.7± 4.5 Bq m–3. Activity concentrations of 137Cs, which are on the level of single Bq m– 3 show exponential decrease with effective half-life time of 7.07± 0.77 years. The cosmogenic 22Na shows a strong seasonal variation with significant different mean values activity concentration between 0.333± 0.095 Bq m–3 and 0.137± 0.045 Bq m–3, for summer and winter, respectively. Moreover, the activity ratio for two cosmogenic radionuclides: 22Na and measured previously 7Be show also changes with statistically significant seasonal differences. The lower values were found during winters. The mechanisms which might govern this ratio are discussed. The conclusion is that transport of 22Na during summer seems to be so much effective, that results in kind of relative depletion of stratosphere of this nuclide.  相似文献

Chernobyl radioactivity in precipitation was measured at Tsukuba, Japan, as were both surface-air concentrations and particle-size distributions of Chernobyl-released radionuclides. To understand the wet removal processes of the Chernobyl radionuclides, i.e.137Cs,103Ru, and90Sr, wet deposition velocities were calculated. The wet deposition velocities of the Chernobyl radioactivity for individual rainfall events varied largely. The wet deposition velocity is given as the product of washout ratio and rainfall rate. Typically, it was found that the washout ratios of90Sr are systematically larger than those of137Cs. In order to explain this fact, we examined the relationship between the washout ratios and particle sizes of radionuclide-bearing aerosols. A positive correlation between corrected washout ratios and particle size was found with a particle diameter range from 0.35 to 1.2 µm. The result strongly suggests that the factors controlling the wet removal of the Chernobyl radioactivity for individual rainfall events are surface air concentration, particle size, and rainfall rate, rather than precipitation amount, which is in agreement with previous understandings. This suggests that high contamination areas of radioactivity are formed during heavy rainfall events with high rainfall rates in the case of tropospheric injection such as the Chernobyl accident.  相似文献
