On the escaping radioactivity from coal power plants (CPP).

Abstract:

:The escaping radioactivity from Greek coal power plants (CPP) was studied. For the case studied the radioactivity is due to the uranium series. The major part (99%) escapes as very fine particles, while the rest is fly ash. The total escaping 226Ra activity is of the order of 40 Ci/yr. The particulate dispersion of fly ash in sites around the stacks of CPP is described. The hazards from the escaping radioactivity are evaluated.
