Radon Flux and Radium Content Determination in Cereals Products
Abstract: AbstractRadon (222Rn) in air is ubiquitous. Radon is a form of ionizing radiation and lung cancer is the only known effect on human exposure to radon in air. The radon gas can enter into the human body through respiring, drinking and eating and caused damage to respiratory and digestion system. Cereals products available in market were experimented by “Sealed Can Technique” using LR-II solid state nuclear track detectors which are …

Semiconduction detector for nuclear radiation
Abstract: This articulation has been study of radiation identification method by semiconductor. Radioactive transmutation originated radiation has scoped semiconductor to access energy exchange for generation of electron-hole pair to give rise semiconduction. Otherwise, electron and charged ion has collected to get signal to justify detection constitutive. Deficit of low atomic weight of Si and Ge to use as semiconductor detectors have schemed to secure through thick material preparation. In lieu, accessed …

Thorium the Fuel of the Future to Revitalize Nuclear Power Generation
Abstract: After disasters like Kyshtym, Windscale, Fukushima, Chernobyl etc., nuclear energy carried a dreaded stigma. The cost of nuclear power generation in the conventional way is on the rise, and so there is a resurgence in nuclear technology using thorium as fuel. There is a great pressure from international community to reduce carbon emission. So many countries are looking for a path to generate energy that is distinctly different but pays …

A Review on Biodegradability of Different Synthetic Vinyl Polymer Composite Blends
Abstract: The last few decades witnessed rapid rise in usage of polymers because of their growing demands in different industries. Mostly, non-biodegradable polymers form the larger proportion and there persistent usage leads to accumulation of hazardous chemicals in the environment. Therefore, to meet the demands, biodegradable polymers, polymers need to induced, designed and further modified to reduce generation of harmful byproducts. As synthetic polymers are durable than the natural polymers emerging …
