Book Synopsis Evaluation of Fallout Contamination of Water Supplies: Covering the Period 1 October 1963 to 15 May 1965 - Final Technical Report by : Werner N. Grune
Download or read book Evaluation of Fallout Contamination of Water Supplies: Covering the Period 1 October 1963 to 15 May 1965 - Final Technical Report written by Werner N. Grune and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical evaluation was conducted to determine the potential degree of water contamination from fallout and to assess the biological hazards associated with the ingestion of water following hypothetical nuclear attack. The appraisal was carried out by applying the assigned fallout model to various levels of nuclear war and by quantitative correlation of all phases of the flow of radioactive fallout in public water supplies. The water supply systems of three cities were selected for the evaluation of water contamination to study the potential hazards and radiobiological effects from the ingestion of fallout contaminated water. The results indicate that water contamination for some cities may be at a substantial level of activity concentration, especially when watershed runoff is included. Direct surface contamination of the reservoirs, excluding any contribution from watershed runoff, resulted in activity concentrations which were lower by a factor from 10 to 100.
Book Synopsis The Estimation of the Internal Radiation Exposure Resulting from the Ingestion of Fallout-contaminated Water in a Nuclear War by : Myron B. Hawkins
Download or read book The Estimation of the Internal Radiation Exposure Resulting from the Ingestion of Fallout-contaminated Water in a Nuclear War written by Myron B. Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The over-all problem of controlling internal radiation exposure resulting from the ingestion of water contaminated by fallout in wartime is discussed. The limitations of maximum permissible concentration concepts in areas where fallout contamination levels are high are discussed and simplified methods of computing the internal dose are prese ted. To facilitate the interpretation of such information, the ''committed dose'' concept is introduced and its proposed use is described. A brief discussion of the significance of the hazards of fallout-contaminated water supplies relative to other hazards in the nuclear-war situation is presented. (Author).
Book Synopsis Evaluation of Fallout Contamination from Surface Runoff by : Werner N. Grune
Download or read book Evaluation of Fallout Contamination from Surface Runoff written by Werner N. Grune and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of water contamination from fallout indicated that activity brought into a water supply by surface runoff increases the activity concentration considerably. These studies employed a constant value for the 'runoff coefficient' to estimate the degree of contamination resulting from the soluble fraction of fallout. The report investigates the vulnerability of the water supply systems of the 'Five Cities' to nuclear attack, taking into consideration availability of ground and surface water, effectiveness of treatment plants, and storage capacity. It was found that the fraction of U.S. cities using ground water have previously been overestimated. Data and records indicate clearly that about 80% of the U.S. population and daily water consumption in the U.S. is derived from surface water sources. The report also presents the complete activity deposition program, developed by the authors from the Miller-Brown fallout model and applies it to two test cases, Providence, Rhode Island and San Francisco, California. Also, the report presents a general solution to the problem of the transport of soluble activity in the runoff water. The erosion and transport of insoluble fallout, as well as the uptake of dissolved activity by suspended sediment, are discussed. (Author).

Book Synopsis Procedures for the Estimation of the Concentration of Nuclear Weapon Fallout in River Water by : Wallace O. Wade
Download or read book Procedures for the Estimation of the Concentration of Nuclear Weapon Fallout in River Water written by Wallace O. Wade and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fallout contamination of surface water supplies presents a potential hazard after a nuclear attack. The internal radiation dose received from consumption of fallout contaminated water may be estimated from the known concentration of fallout in the water and the radiological character of the fallout material. This report presents a simple and direct method of estimating for a river water supply the concentration of stream surface deposited fallout arriving at the intake. The method utilizes stream data available from offices of the Surface Water Branch of the United States Geological Survey. Sample calculations and graphical aids are included. (Author).
Book Synopsis Vulnerability of Municipal Water Facilities to Radioactive Contamination from Nuclear Attacks by : Hong Lee
Download or read book Vulnerability of Municipal Water Facilities to Radioactive Contamination from Nuclear Attacks written by Hong Lee and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the event of a nuclear attack upon the United States, the surface source waters would become contaminated with radioactive nuclides carried by fallout particles. The absorbed dosage in the body tissues of humans resulting from drinking contaminated surface waters, especially after the water is processed in treatment plants, is not critical. In areas where heavy levels of fallout occur, the overriding hazard facing the survivors is external radiation. Contaminated water is a secondary problem facing survivors in the postattack environment. Also, a large proportion of the postattack population will have uncontaminated ground source water available, and, if this water is properly handled after it is drawn from wells, it will remain clean.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Water Contamination from Fallout by : W. N. Grune
Download or read book Evaluation of Water Contamination from Fallout written by W. N. Grune and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods for obtaining ionization rate contours, fractionation numbers, atom-concentration intensity ratios, and particle size distribution from the Miller fallout model are given. Included are complete computer programs for estimating sublimation pressures, ionization rate contours, and particle size parameters. Graphical integration of activity from fallout over the watersheds serving Houston, Texas and New York City is described. Maximum levels of selected contaminants at the water intake for these cities under most adverse wind conditions were calculated and reported. It is concluded that the contribution of induced radioactivity to the contamination of water supplies would not be significant. Many commercially available instruments of the survey type can be used to detect adequately the presence of substantial concentrations of radioisotopes in water under emergency conditions. For more accurate measurement of such concentrations down to safe levels more sensitive equipment or methods of preconcentration of the samples are needed.
