Radiation Safety Management Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab works to keep facilities and the environment safe from radiation.
AboutAbout the lab
Keeping facilities, soil, water, and air safe from radiation.
The Radiation Safety Management Lab studies radiation and radioactive materials in the environment. Its work covers how radioactivity is generated, how it is measured and how it behaves in the environment, the development of environmental decontamination methods, and the safety assessment of final waste disposal.
To return the results of basic research to society, the lab also builds pilot plants that purify surface water, wastewater, groundwater, and incineration ash.
Key terms
- radioactive material
- A substance that has the property of emitting radiation (radioactivity)
- decontamination
- Removing radioactive material and other contamination
- pilot plant
- A small-scale facility built to test a technology before it is put to practical use
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how radiation and radioactive materials are generated in the environment, evaluates their measurement and environmental behavior, develops decontamination methods, and assesses the safety of final waste disposal.
*Illustrative imageRadioactive Materials in Facilities and the Environment
The lab studies how radioactive materials are generated in and around nuclear and radiation facilities and how to manage safety there. It also studies the properties and environmental behavior of radioactive materials released by nuclear accidents and atmospheric nuclear explosions.
*Illustrative imageCleanup of Environmental Contamination
The lab studies methods for cleaning up environmental contamination from radioactive and non-radioactive substances, including removing arsenic from groundwater in Vietnam and purifying livestock wastewater.
*Illustrative imageSafety Assessment of Radioactive Waste Disposal
The lab assesses the safety of final disposal of radioactive waste, using methods such as groundwater flow simulation.
