High resolution size characterization of particulate contaminants for radioactive metal waste treatment

摘要: Abstract To regulate the safety protocols in nuclear facilities, radioactive aerosols have been extensively researched to understand their health impacts. However, most measured particle-size distributions remain at low resolutions, with particle sizes ranging from nanometer micrometer. This study combines high-resolution detection of 500 size classes, 6 nm 10 μm, for aerodynamic diameter distributions, a regional lung deposition calculation. We applied new approach characterize generated during plasma arc cutting simulated non-radioactive steel alloy wastes. The data were used calculate ratios different regions. alveolar sacs contained dominant 0.01 0.1 μm. determined distribution various metals using vapor pressures alloying components and analyzed uncertainties calculations low-resolution simultaneously. In data, changes that can penetrate blood system better captured, correcting potential risks by maximum 42%. combined aid enhancement measuring equipment effectively manage radiation facilities.
