Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how Tritium (HTO) is transferred between air, soil, and plants in a tropical environment, particularly in Tarapur, India, which is near nuclear facilities.
- It aims to understand Tritium transport and develop specific parameters related to air moisture and plant water interactions for use in activity models.
- Key findings include transfer ratios for soil-to-air and plant-to-air moisture, as well as metrics like Tritium scavenging ratio and wet deposition velocity, providing important data for environmental assessments in the area.
Determination of actinides in environmental and biological samples is an important activity of radiation protection program at nuclear energy facilities. High resolution alpha spectrometry with passivated ion implanted Silicon detectors is widely used for the determination of actinides concentration. Low levels of activity concentrations in these samples often require long counting duration of a few days to obtain accurate and statistically significant data for further impact assessment.

Time trends of particulate radioactivity, correlation between (137)Cs in discharge canal seawater and station discharged activity and correlation of (137)Cs, (60)Co, and (131)I in marine species such as sponge and Nerita (gastropod) and corresponding discharged activity are discussed. The concentration of (137)Cs and (131)I in seawater versus biota are discussed.
