Radioecological perspective: The concentration of natural radionuclides around the coast of PLTU Labuan.

The utilization of coal in Power Plants (PLTUs) can lead to the generation of fly ash waste, which may contain natural radionuclides that can potentially contaminate the surrounding environment. Despite Labuan PLTU's land-coastal location, marine environment monitoring remains minimal. A recent study conducted sediment and seawater sampling, revealing varying levels of natural radionuclides Ra, Th, and K ranging from 3.

Bioaccumulation and retention kinetics of trace elements in the horse mussels Modiolus micropterus exposed to different environmental conditions.

Bioaccumulation studies of Zn and Cs by the horse mussel (Modiolus micropterus) were conducted in a laboratory that used radiotracer. The study has been carried out on the effect of cesium and zinc concentrations and the effect of sea seawater salinity on the ability of M. micropterus to accumulate these two contaminants.

Monitoring 137Cs and 134Cs at marine coasts in Indonesia between 2011 and 2013.

Environmental samples (seawater, sediments and biota) were collected along the eastern and western Indonesian coasts between 2011 and 2013 to anticipate the possible impacts of the Fukushima radioactive releases in Indonesia. On the eastern coasts (south and north Sulawesi), the (137)Cs concentrations in the seawater and sediments were 0.12-0.
