Delimiting radiation protection distance of uranium mining and metallurgy facilities is an important radiation protection approach to control the effective public dose caused by radon and radon progeny. Ventilation shafts are the main radon release paths of underground uranium mines. It is of great importance to research the diffusion regularities and influence range of the radon around the ventilation shaft. In this study, long-term and short-term radon accumulation monitoring approaches were adapted for onsite investigation. More than 520 sets of radon concentration were acquired. The survey results effectively revealed the distribution regularities of the radon concentration around the ventilation shaft with time, space, and working conditions. These results provide data for radiation protection in uranium mines. In addition, a radiation protection distance delimiting way was proposed for the investigated facility through effective public dose assessment.

The confined synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) in solid matrixes is a promising avenue for developing new afterglow materials. Benefiting from the advantages of the sol-gel preparation of nanoporous glass, we report transparent glass-confined CDs with tunable afterglow luminescence. Switchable thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of CDs were achieved by adjusting the sintering temperature and ion doping.

Traditional passive single-spectrum electromagnetic defense materials are inadequate to defend against complex multispectral electromagnetic threats. Herein, a bilayer heterofilm (BLH film)-based magnetically controllable soft actuator (MCSA), comprising a defense unit and a drive unit, is constructed. The defense unit offers multispectral electromagnetic protection, while the drive unit enables active defense via magnetic actuation.

The increasing use of ionizing radiation has raised concerns about adverse and long-term health risks for individuals. Therefore, to evaluate the range of risks and protection against ionizing radiation, it is necessary to assess the dosimetry calculation uncertainty of the absorbed dose of organs and tissues in the body. On the other hand, absorbed dose calculation with low computational load plays a noted role in dosimetry studies.
