Abstract:
:Studies of the physical and chemical properties of radioactive aerosols produced in different work environments were made at Chin-Shan nuclear power plant in Taiwan. These properties, including particle mass- and activity-size distributions, elemental and radionuclide compositions, and solubility lung class, are essential for the assessment of internal dose equivalents from the inhalation of radioactive aerosols. Several practices and environments studied include thermal arc cutting, grinding, sandblasting, and noble gas progeny. For physical analyses, cascade impactors, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and neutron activation analysis were applied. For chemical analyses, the solubility lung class was determined, in vitro, with the measurement of aerosol dissolution rates in simulated biological fluids. Results of these analyses were used to calculate the annual limit on intake, the derived air concentration, and committed dose equivalents for radiological protection against radioactive aerosols produced at Chin-Shan nuclear power plant.
